and abdomen above pale, silken, ashy; lighter beneath. Under side of fore wings 

 pale ashy, with the fringe nearly white, and the costa lighter reflecting the oblique 

 marks of the upper side. Expanse 28 mm.

Pen til ill a COStimaculaiia n. sp. — Head dark ashy, palpi lighter beneath. 

 Thorax dark brown with lighter cross stripes which cover the greater part of the 

 patagice. Fore wings pale pink, with the basal half much mottled with dark 

 brown and black. Oblique band from middle of costa to hinder margin before 

 the anal angle, dark brown with a broad black dash crossing it on the cell, and 

 several below. The apical portion of the wing is dark brown with three pink 

 flecks on the costa, from the middle one of which an oblique stripe of metallic- 

 blue extends down to a pink fleck near the middle of the outer border, above 

 which are two more pink flecks in a line on the border. The pink interspace 

 between the oblique band and the brown apical portion of the wing is filled in 

 below the end of the cell with black-brown and metallic-blue scales, so as to leave 

 but little of the pink on this part of the wing, but the pink on the costal portion 

 of the wing forms a very conspicuous spot by means of which this species may be 

 distinguished. Fringes brown with two spots of pink below the apex, and one at 

 the anal angle; basal line black. Hind wings and abdomen above dark brown; 

 fringes and abdominal brush light yellow. Tinder side of all the wings of a lighter 

 shade than the upper side of hind wings ; fore wings show a series of yellow spots 

 along the costa and at the anal angle. Expanse 13 — 14 mm.

Pentllina interruptoliiieana n.sp. — Head and palpi dark ashy, lighter 

 above. Thorax light ashy, with a stout dark red tuft, and touched with purplish. 

 Fore wings with the basal part of the costa as far as the median oblique band, 

 and nearly down to the fold, very light purplish-ash color : below this the wing 

 is fulvous. The oblique band is fulvous, darker on the costa with a wavy basal 

 edge, ami scarcely separable below. The outer edge of this band has three teeth, 

 one extends outward on the upper part of the cell, the second on the lower, and 

 the third on the hinder border. Through the middle tooth extends an interrupted 

 black line to the middle of the outer border. The outer part of the wing is 

 purplish, with two more or less distinct oblique fulvous bands. Fringe purple 

 inclining to ashy at the anal angle. Hind wings ami abdomen above and beneath

Sericoris albiciliana n. sp. — Head covered with black and yellowish 

 scales mixed; palpi whitish, touched on the outside with blackish, last joint 

 blackish. Thorax black and yellowish mixed with some indications of cross 

 bars; fore wings black with yellow scales intermingled, and also metallic-blue 

 in irregular broken oblique lines. The yellow is so arranged as to show two 

 geminate spots on the basal third of the costa, with metallic stripes starting from 

 between each of these. On the apical portion of the costa there are three yellow 

 geminate spots equidistant, starting into oblique stripes which are soon lost. 

 From the first and third of these yellow spots oblique metallic stripes extend more 

 or less regularly, one to the anal angle, the other to the middle of the outer border. 

 Fringes above and beneath straw-yellow, broken by dark metallic above the anal
