prefer uot to describe it at preseut. 1 must add that, altliongh taken from tlie tn>e- 

 specimen, all three figures of E. argijjfiontes Kirby are very diifereut, and all uulike 

 the insect. 



1. Eiukieinonia bnwkyura (Drury). 



2. E. argiphontes Kirby. 



COPIOPTERYX. 



Here C. phoenix (Deyr.) is \;h^ female of C. aemiramis (Cram.) ; therefore there 

 are only three species of the genus. 



DYSDAEMONIA. 



In this genns D. aristor (Feld.) is only a dark and rubbed female of D. boreal 

 (Cram.). 



A great amonnt of variation is shown in D. tamerlan Maass. both in sizp and 

 tint, which latter varies from warm grey to chestnut. 



TITAEA AND LOXOLOMIA. 

 I have nothing to remark except that, if 1 am uot mistaken, no second specimen 

 has ever been recorded of Loxolomia serpentina Maass. 



ARSENURA. 



In this genus A. kercules(Walk.) is the male oi sylla (Cram.). I have one new 

 species to describe : — 



Arseniira ponderosa sp. uov. 



This curious species is t|U!te uulike any other of the genus. 



Forewings : ground colour clay colour washed with yellowish buff. Wings 

 crossed oblic|uely from the apex to near the base of the inner margin by a broad 

 blackish brown line, which is wavy and less conspicuous in the apical half. This 

 line runs parallel with the costa, and uot at an angle with it as usual. Within the 

 cell is a half-moon-shaped broad but indistinct line, and a narrower but more 

 irregular one at the apex of cell. The outer half of both wings is crossed by two 

 transverse and parallel liroad lines. The outer one bears on the forewings four buff 

 patches, of which the anterior one in front of the upper median nervule is much the 

 largest and almost s(^uare. The space between these two lines is narrower than 

 between the outer one and the margin, and is decidedly yellower. 



lliiuhmmjti similar to forewings, but the outer line is double, gradually merging 

 into one towards the anal angle, where it exhibits a yellow patch. 



Head and colhir brown, with a white mark between the antennae. 



Thorax and abdomen pale butf. 



Undenide pale buff, the oblique band on forewings wanting, and the two 

 transverse bands much less distinct, the outer oue nearer margin, and dissolved into 

 blackish and ruddy spots at the nervules. On the hindwings at the apex of cell is 

 a small brown ring with a central sjiot. 



Expanse : >>'5 inches = 215 mm. 



Hab. Chuchuras, East Fern. (In Coll. Dr. Standinger.) 



OXYTENIS. 



Here I have two new species, but cannot describe them, as I have not enough 

 material of other Kj)ecies to compare.
