Gonodela albipixncta. 



Wings grey brown, faintly purplish tinged, with numerous dark fuscous 

 transverse stiiae ; lines dark brown ; first near base, angidated near costa ; second 

 in midwing, straight and nearly vertical; third oblique outwards from costa, forming 

 a blunt angulation, then incurved to inner margin before anal angle, where it is 

 indistinctly geminated ; beyond the angle is a long oval white spot ; fringes 

 chequered with dark fuscous, preceded by a rather tliick black basal line- 

 Hindwings the same, without the basal line, and the outer line straight and 

 j^eminated throughout. Thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings; head, face, 

 and collar fulvous. Underside bright \'ellow, with tlie marginal area darker, mottled 

 with dark fuscous ; the ajiical white sjiot repeated. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One tj from Gunong I jau.

Petrodava Wlk. 



Closely allied to Hyperi/tlnu (iuen., hut the (J is entirely without the various 

 sexual characters which distinguish that genus; in the hindwings the cell is half as 

 long as the wing, while in Hyperythra it is only two-fifths. 



Type : Petrodava albosignata, Wlk., xxvi., p. Ifi.Sfi. 



lliis type of Walker's, from an unknown locality, has hitherto remained unique ; 

 a c? and two ? ? from Bafhurst, in the Kothschild collection, are plainlv identical ; 

 the ? is paler and more yellowish. To this genus will belong also Butler's .\frican 

 leucicolor, and Swinhoe's Indian species hhasiana and phoenix. 



Tycoonia gen. nov. 



This is intermediate between Hyperythra Guen. and Syrrhodia Hiib., on the 

 one hand, and Petrodava Wlk. on the other. The cJ has a thickening on tlie 

 submedian fold near the base, clothed with smooth appressed scales on the under- 

 side, and marked by a doulale fold of somewhat raised scales above. In all other 

 respects it agrees with Petrodava. 



Type : Tycoonia obliqua sp. nov. 



Tycoonia obliqua sp. no\-. 



Eesembles the Indian species Petrodava khasiana Swinh. and pihoenix Swinh. ; 

 but may be distinguished at once by the cour.se of the central hue, which does 

 not run parallel to the exterior line, but is nearer to it on the costa than on the 

 inner margin. 



Two (?c?, one ? , from .lapan. 



Caenarthria gen. nov. 

 Like Peitrodava Wlk., Imt the antennae of the ? are very strongly pectinated. 

 Type : C. haiurata Wlk. (Hyperytfira ?). 



Bithiodes gen. nov. 



Intermediate between Probithia \\'arr. ( = Bithia Wlk.) and Luxiaria Wlk. 

 The antennae of the S are simple as in Luxiaria, but the hindmargin is not 

 crenulated ; the angle of the hindwings is at the end of the second subcostal vein 

 instead of the third median. 



Tyjie : Bithiodes inexactatu Wlk. {Acid^alia).
