Wings abovi' viuons-brown, the fringe greyish ; anterior wings with eight small greyish spots, situate 

 two in cell, three in siiberect and subapical series beyond cell, and three in oblique series— of which the 

 uppermost is smallest — divided by the first and second median nervules ; between the lowermost spot and 

 the submedian nervure is a narrow, transverse linear, greyish impression. Wings beneath paler than above ; 

 anterior wings spotted as above, but the spots a little darker in hue ; posterior wings with a small pale spot 

 in cell, and a curved discal series of small pale spots situate between the costal nervure and the lower median 

 nervule. Body above more or less concolorous with wings ; palpi and abdomen beneath greyish. 



Exp. wings, 31 to 33 millim. 



Hab.— Aden (Butl.).— Continental India; Karachi (Swinhoe— Brit. Mus.) ; N.W. Himalaya (Hocking 

 —Moore); Gujerat iSpaight— Brit. Mus.) ; Sikkim (de Nic.).— Ceylon (Moore).— Nicobar Islands; Kamorta 

 (Moore). — Burma; Moulmeiu (Limborg— Moore). — Tenasserim ; Meetan (Limborg — Moore). — Malay 

 Peninsula; Malacca (coll. Staud ; Pinwill — Brit. Mus.) ; Singapore (coll. Godfery). — Siam ; Nahcouchaisee 

 (Druce). — Nias Island (Kheil). — Java; Batavia (Snell.). — Formosa (Butl.). 



This widely spread species appears to liave been somewhat neglected b}- collectors in the 

 Malay Peninsula, as beyond the specimens collected by Capt. Pinwill in Malacca and now 

 contained in the British Museum, the example captured in Singapore by Capt. Godfery — here 

 figured — has alone passed through my hands. It also appears to have passed through many 

 generic vicissitudes, Mr. Butler, as the above quotations testify, having already placed it in four 

 different genera. 



5. Baoris unicolor. (Tab. XXXV., fig. 11.) 



Wings above and beneath unicolorous rufous-brown ; body dark brown ; legs pale brown. 



Exp. wings, 80 millim. 



Hab. — Malacca (coll. Staud.). 



This obscure, and to me unique, Baoris is contained in the collection of Dr. Staudinger, 

 to whom I am indebted for the opportunity of figuring and describing it in this work. 



Genus TELICOTA. 



Telicota, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 169 (1881). 

 Padmona, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 170 (1881 1. 

 Ampittia, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 171 (1S81|. 



In Telicota the upper disco-cellular nervule of the anterior wings is longer than the lower, thus 

 agreeing with the preceding genera Pirdana, Pithauria, Zca, and Baoris, but from these genera it differs by 

 the position of the second median nervule of the anterior wings, which has its base either midway between 

 that of the upper and lower median nervules, or rather nearer to the lower than to the upper.
