 This genus (erroneously referred by some to the Lithosiadcv) I 

 find to be without doubt correctly placed here, in accordance with 

 Zeller's own view : apart from other characters, conclusive proof 

 is found in the origin of vein 8 of the hindwings, which rises 

 separate as usual in the TLneina, and not from the upper margin 

 of the cell, as it invariably does in the Lithosiadce. I have 

 retained for the genus the name under which it was defined by 

 Zeller ; the names Eustixis, Hb., and Mieza, Walk, are practically 

 unaccompanied by any recognisable definition, and cannot there- 

 fore be adopted to the displacement of Zeller's name. In the 

 following species the antennae of £ are shortly ciliated (J) • veins 



4 and 5 of the forewings almost from a point, 6 and 7 from a 

 point, 7 to below apex, 8 and 9 from very near 7, 11 from cell at 

 \ ; transverse vein of hindwings sharply angulated between 5 and 

 6, a basal pectination beneath lower median vein. 



24. Encem. pyrUampis, n. sp. 

 (J. 31 mm. Head, palpi, and antennae bright orange, face and 

 sides of crown pale yellowish, base of antennae dark fuscous. 

 Thorax whitish-yellow, margins of patagia and two curved 

 transverse lines orange, on posterior § a dorsal fuscous streak 

 mixed with red. Abdomen orange-red, towards base orange. 

 Legs bright orange. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 apex obtuse, hindmargin somewhat oblique, hardly rounded ; 

 greyish-fuscous, obscurely mixed with reddish on veins ; markings 

 pale whitish-yellow, irregularly margined with red, except on 

 costal margin ; a subquadrate blotch on inner margin at base, 

 enclosing a red dot on upper margin near base, and an angulated 

 red posterior streak ; an elongate semi-oval spot along costa from 



5 to | ; a subquadrate oblique blotch extending along inner margin 

 from I to beyond middle, longitudinally bisected by an irregular 

 red line ; a small round spot resting on middle of upper margin of 

 this; a triangular spot extending on inner margin from f to near 

 anal angle ; an elongate blotch extending along costa from | to
