This genus, which seems most nearly allied to Tithraiistes, would be l)etter 

 placrd in the Ci/llojwdinaf than in the Orthostij'inaf. In the hiudwing the 

 costal and suiicostal veins anastomose near base at a point, and are not united, 

 as stated in the original description, by a bar. In tlie forewing veins 7, 8, 9 

 are stalked from close to end of cell, 10 and 11 are stalked also, and 10 anastomoses 

 with 7, 8, 9. The antennae are subserrate, with short fascicles of curled cilia. 



Josia erectistria spec. uov. 



Fariuciiu/ : velvety brown-black, with an elongated broad yellow streak from 

 base of inner margin, parallel to costa throughout, and ending its own width 

 where widest before hindmargin ; slightly constricted before end in the ?, much 

 narrowed and ending in a blunt point directed towards apex in the <S, so that the 

 costal margin ajipears much broader ; fringe brown. 



Himhciiii/ : yellow, with the costa narrowly and the hindmargin more broadly 

 black, especially in the (?. 



Underside similar, the edges of the yellow markings more concise ; in the ? 

 the costal vein of hindwing is marked with brown scales ; in the c? the subcostal 

 vein bears a black blotch at its end, and vein 7 is blackish. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen brown-black. 

 Expanse of wings : c? 46 mm., ? 52 mm.

Allied to .7. ahiata Druce. In the <S the forewing has no distinct anal angle, 

 the inner margin being convex, and forming one curve with the hindmargin ; 

 the hindwing has the costa strongly arched, and the apex bluntly pointed instead 

 of well rounded as in the ¥ . 



36. Josia longistria spec. nov. 



Fiiirwim/ : brown-black, with an elongated central yellow stripe, starting at 

 base from between snbmedian vein and subcostal, widening slightly to end of 

 cell, where it is notched and narrowed, and ^ending in a point on vein 4 well 

 before hindmargin ; fringe grey-brown. 



Ilinthring : yellow, with the custa and hindmargin narrowly black, broader 

 towards apex and before anal angle. 



Underside like upper. 



Head and thorax brown-black : abdomen paler, cinereous. 



Exj)anse of wings : 44 mm.
