Polygonia variabilis sp. nov. 



Kather larger than fortiiiittd Guen., yellowish ochreous or fuscous, variable in 

 the tints of colour; distinguished at once from that species by the course of the 

 second transverse line of tlie forewings, which is concave inwards at the centre instead 

 of outwards. 



Prionia obliquilineata Warr., Pr. Z. 8., 1893, p. 409. 



The type-specimen, iu Mr. Klwes' collection, is from the Naga Hills, a i. A 

 ? fi-om Humboldt Bay, in Mr. Doncaster's possession, also collected by Doherty, 

 thoLigli minus the head, evidentlv belongs here. The onlv difference I can see is the 

 absence of the black costal spots on the underside of both wings. 



Proteopharmacis gen. nov. 



Related to Euclidiodea Warr., with which it agrees in neuration ; but the fore- 

 wings have a subacute apex and denticulate hindmargin, with a slight elbow in 

 middle. Hindwings with still more strongly denticulated margin. The character of 

 the markings is quite distinct ; the two cross lines are nearest each other in the 

 centre, while in Euclidiodes they are approximated on the inner margin. 



Type: Proteopharnidcis valdiviata P>ld. {Seotopteryx?). 



Proteostrenia gen. nov. 



Forewings: with costa straight, curved only just at base and before apex ; apex 

 rectangular, blunt ; hindmargin \ery slightly indented just below apex, bulged at ' 

 one-third, then obliquely curved and subcrenulate. 



Hlndivings : rounded, with hindmargin strongly crenulate. 



Antennae short, in the <S pectinated, the pectinations fine, distinct, and nearly 

 at right angles to the shaft; palpi porrect, short, roughly haired beneath; tongue 

 weak ; forewings of c? with fovea. 



Type : Proteostrenia strenioides Butler. 



A distinct genus, containing, at ])resent, but one, very variable, species, and 

 allied to Artior>i Meyr. 



Pseudothalera gen. nov. 



Forewings: with costa slightly and uniformly arched throughout; apex acute; 

 hindmargin decidedly obli(jue, scarcely curved ; inner margin somewhat convex. 



Hindwings : quadrate, with slight angle at end of third median, straight thence 

 to anal angle, slightly crenulate above. 



Antennae of cj simple, lamellate ; palpi poi-rect, horizontal, third joint minute ; 

 tongue present ; legs long ; hind tibiae with four spurs. 



JVeuration : forewings, cell half as long as wing; its margins both directed 

 inwards at seven-eighths ; first median at five-eighths, second at seven-eighths, thirti 

 from end of cell ; first subcostal free at seven-eighths, the rest on a common sten\ 

 rising just beyond the first ; radials as usual. Hindwings, costal approximated to 

 subcostal for about half the cell ; first subcostal at seven-eighths ; medians as in 

 forewings ; no radial ; scaling fine and smooth. 



Type : P. stigmatica Warr.
