externally, with a central sub-marginal broad grc-yish nebulous brlt ; a marginal 

 series of blackish spots : thorax testaceous, abdomen whitish : undcr-surface 

 uniformly creamy-whitish : expanse of wings, 1 inch, 5 lines. 



There is one example of this species ; it and the following will 

 form a peculiar group in the genus : B. BlacJcbiirni has the aspect of 

 Cledeobin and B. accei^a of Pionia, but in structure they altogether 

 agree with Botj/s. 



BOTTS ACCEPTA, «. Sp. (NoS. 17 & IS). 



Wings above grey. Primaries with a black dot in the cell ; a zigzag oblique lino 

 across the centre of tlie wing, its upper portion crossing the discocellulai-s (and 

 traversed by two black dots), the longitudinal portion on the median vein, whence it 

 turns off abruptly at the origin of the first median branch, the upper part blackish, 

 the lower part black ; a second undulated line, angulated at the second median 

 branch, sordid white, margined within by a black line, and externally by a diffused 

 blackish belt ; a white sub-marginal line, bounded internally by a series of elongated 

 black spots, and externally by a black line ; fringe white ; veins, and a transverse line 

 bounding the inner transverse line, white ; secondaries with the discocellular, a post- 

 median straight line (bordered externally with soi'did white), a diffused discal belt 

 and the sub-marginal spots and marginal Ihie as in primaries, black ; veins, sub- 

 marginal line, and fringe sordid white ; body grey, abdomen banded with sordid 

 white ; under surface grey ; palpi, legs, and margins of wings sordid white ; a sub- 

 marginal series of black dots. Secondaries with a black dot on the discocellulars ; a 

 dusky diffused belt across the disc. Expanse of wings, 11 lines. 

 Three examples. 



Family PTEALID^. 

 Pyealis achatixa, n. sp. (No. 26). 



Basal third brown, bounded externally by a white and a dusky zigzag line ; 

 central area sordid whitish, irrorated with grey, and bounded externally by a dusky 

 and white irregular transverse line ; discal or external area sordid whitish, irrorated 

 with grey, especially on the primaries ; a marginal series of whitish spots, bounded 

 on each side by black dots ; fringe greyish ; primaries with the costa black spotted ; 

 a black spot at the end of the cell; body whity-brown ; under surface whitish, pri- 

 maries with the basal two-thirds grey, immediately followed by an arched discal grey 

 line, which also occurs on the secondaries ; a black spot at the end of the cell ; all the 

 wings with sub-marginal and marginal series of grey spots, the inner series partly 

 confluent : expanse of wings, 7 — 10 hues. 



Two examples. 



This species has the general coloration of JEphestia, but agrees iu 

 structure with Byralis ; its nearest ally seems to be P.farinalis. 



Family ENNTCHIID^. 

 Ehodaeia despecta, n. sp. (No. 27). 



Primaries testaceous, shot with lilacine ; the costa clay-coloured, spotted with
