neivnles, and two minute greyish subapical spots : posterior wings with the fringe brownish-grey. Wings 

 beneath as above, but the lower spot of the macuhir fascia to the anterior wings having its posterior half 

 greyish-white. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings, 52 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula: ^lalacca (coll. Staudinger). 



This very distiiift species is contained in the collection of Dr. Staudinger, and I have not 

 seen a second example. 



Genus PLASTINGIA. 



l'liiMn,ji,(, P.ittler, Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. vii. p. 95 (1870). 



This genus differs from Hhhni in having the upper and lower disco-cellular nervules of the anterior 

 wings almost subequal in length, thus agreeing with Erionota and (ianriara, but easily distinguished in a 

 structiu-al sense from those genera by the position of the second median nervnle of the anterior wings, 

 which has its base about three times as far apart from that of the lower as from that of the upper median 

 nervnle. Another distinguishing character in Plasfiiifiia is the position of the first subcostal uervule of 

 the anterior wings, which is emitted more nearly opposite the base of second than that of lower median 

 nervule. 



riitsliiKjia, as at present known, is a small genus, and its species appear to be principally 

 found in the Indo-^Ialayan Kegion. Several have been described from Borneo.

Wings above dark chocolate-brown ; anterior wings with basal costal, subcostal, and inner marginal 

 ochraceous streaks, and with a discal series of seven pale semi-hyaline spots, of which the largest is bifid 

 and situate above the lower median nervule, three — the uppermost smallest— in oljlique series separated by 

 the lower discoidal and the upper median nervules, two small and subapical and one in and near end 

 of cell; posterior wings with a central transverse fascia connected with base, a narrow streak along inner 

 edge of abdominal margin and the fringe ochraceous. Wings beneath paler than above ; anterior wings 

 spotted as above and with a series of dark submarginal streaks placed between the nervules ; posterior 

 wings with the neuration ochraceous, the discal fascia as above, and with a submarginal series of minute 

 ochraceous spots. Body above brownish, with segmental ochraceous fascis ; body beneath pale ochraceous, 

 abdomen with a central series of dark brownish spots ; legs brownish. 



Exp. wings, 38 millim. 



Hab.— Malay Peninsula; Malacca (Pinwill— Brit. Mus.) ; Singapore (coll. Hewits. ; Wall.— coll. 

 Godm. & Salv.). — Java; Buitenzorg (Felder). 



Mr. Hewitson redescribed this species under the name of Hrspi'i-ia httoiu, and the figure 

 here given represents the typical specimen in the Hewitsonian Cabinet. According to the 

 writer's cxj^erience the species is moderately rare in the Malay Peninsula.
