Subfamily SCOTOPTEKYGINAE. 

 Catascia fiimosa ^^p. nov. 

 Very close to ventraria Guen., but the forewings more rounded at the apex ; 

 both wings smoky fuscous, with only the central area towards the costa slightly paler; 

 the markings always very indistinct. Underside like ventraria, but with a sub- 

 marginal fascia always darker. 



A long series from Japan, sliowing no variation at all. 



Parascotia olivacea sp. nov. 



Wings : dull tawny fuscous, with an olive tint ; central area darker, limited 

 towards base by a slightly paler curved fascia, and externally by a pale denticulated 

 one, which is recurved towards the costa ; the first pale fascia is absent on the hind- 

 win^s, which therefore have the whole liasal two-thirds darker ; an indistinct dark 

 cell-spot on forewings. 



Underside darker, with a pale oclireous whitish curved marginal fascia, more 

 incurved towards costa. Head and thorax concolorous ; abdomen black, witli pale 

 segmental rings ; beneath pale ochreous.
