E. seitzi spec. nov. (21 g). (^ : Forewing light ochreous, middle of the costal area whit isli ; from the middle seiizi. 

 of the hind margin (4 mm from the base) there runs to the centre of the wing (6 mm from the base) a trans- 

 verse white band which is so densely irrorated with brown that only a white edge remains on each side 

 about one-fifth the width of the whole band; these two white edges are connected with one another in the 

 .middle by an equally narrow white longitudinal streak, and there remain small white interspaces between 

 the brown dots; these two white edges of the band are prolonged forwards vertically to the costa and merge 

 together with the white costal area. The brown band is more distinct at the hindmargin. Fringes unicolorous, 

 scarcely lighter than the surface of the wing. Hindwing above and below greyish white, suffused with ochreous, 

 fringes ochreous. Forewing below posteriorly like the hindwing, eostally slightly irrorated with brownish, 

 in the basal third of the costal margin bro^\^^.. Head and thorax like the fore^ving above; antennae white 

 with brown pectinations; eyes dark grey with black spots. The hindlegs with white hairs and scales, the 

 forelegs yellowish, especially at the base. Abdomen below white, laterally yellowish white, above black or greyish 

 black. Anal tuft pale ochreous. Expanse 27, length of wing 13. 5, of body 12 mm. — China: Hongkong, 

 28. VIII. 1891. (Coll. Heitz). Allied to E. recurvata Leech. 



E. scintillans Walk. (21 h). Forewing reddish brown suffused with mauve, and with indications of black- scintillans. 

 ish smears; costal and distal margins sulphur-yellow, this colour not reaching the base eostally, at the 

 outer margin the yellow band is three times incurved on the inner side and bears silvery spots at this margin. 

 Hindwing yellow. Head and collar orange. Pectinations of antennae brownish yellow, likewise the abdomen, 

 while the thorax is brown. Underside light yellow, forewing with darker subcostal stripe. Anal tuft orange. 

 (J 20 to 26, $ 32 to 38 mm. subnotata Walk. (= justiciae Moore) has the yellow marginal band di\ided into svhnotata. 

 three spots, limbata Butlr. is larger than the main form and has the wings coloured like subnotata, but the Hmbala. 

 yellow costal margin is present, the hindwing light violet brown, with light yellow marginal band, irrorata irrorata. 

 Moore has two or three narrow light yellow transverse bands in the basal half of the wing*), the bro%vn colour 

 of the forewing darker. — Larva dark brown with red lateral warts, segment 3 with yellow band, segments 

 4, 5 and 11 with short brown brushes of hair, segments 5 to 10 with broad yellow dorsal stripe, anal segment 

 with yellow spot. The larva is said to vary greatly, so that some of the forms mentioned above may really be 

 distinct species. — Distributed from Kashmir over the whole of India to Ceylon.

*) These bands are not mentioned in the description and are not alike on the two wings. HampSON does not quote 

 this figure in Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths I. p. 483. If these bands should prove to be owing to a mistake on the part of 

 the artist, irrorata wovild be a mere synonym.
