mixed with white. Abdomen dark fuscous, with ochreous-yellow 

 basal band and margins of segments 4 and 5, ventral surface 

 ochreous-yellow except apical third. Forewings elongate, rather 

 narrow, costa slightly arched, apex rounded-obtuse, termen obliquely 

 rounded ; dark fuscous ; an irregular transverse snow-white spot 

 on end of cell : cilia fuscous with two dark fuscous lines. Hind- 

 wings dark fuscous ; two rounded ochreous-yellow blotches, each 

 occupying about 5 of wing, first resting on dorsum, second in 

 middle of disc extending to costa ; cilia grey, with blackish sub- 

 basal shade. 



New South Wales, Newcastle, in September (Raynor); one 

 specimen. Nearly allied to splicer oplior a, but certainly distinct by 

 longer antennal ciliations (in sphcerophoi'a hardly 3) ; differs also 

 in larger size, and larger blotches of hindwings, which are yellow, 

 not white. 



Lactistica exculta, n. sp. 



c? . 34 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous irregularly 

 mixed with brown and dark fuscous. (Palpi injured.) Antennal 

 ciliations 2|. Posterior tibise rather elongate, fuscous mixed with 

 whitish and dark fuscous, with expanded whorls of dense scales on 

 origin of spurs, tarsi moderate, roughly scaled. Forewings 

 elongate, rather narrow, hardly dilated posteriorly, costa slightly 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, oblique ; brown, 

 basal and discal areas partially suffused with rosy -brown, veins 

 posteriorly tinged with rosy ; base, costa, and dorsum narrowly 

 suffused with dark fuscous ; stigmata large, irregular, dark fuscous, 

 partially edged with white, plical obliquely before first discal; an 

 irregular suffused ochreous-white blotch in disc beyond cell ; an 

 almost, marginal series of white marks along posterior half of 

 costa and termen, terminal area otherwise suffused with rather 

 dark fuscous between veins : cilia whitish-fuscous mixed with 

 fuscous, base on termen dark fuscous interrupted \a ith pale rosy on 

 veins. Hindwings dark grey ; cilia pale grey, with dark fuscous 

 interrupted basal shade. 



Assam, Khasis, in June ; one specimen. In the description of 

 the genus Lactistica I have erroneously stated that there is no 

 antennal pecten ; it is really well-developed in all the species. 



Anchinia porphyritica, n. sp. 



c? . 18 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, sides of crown more 

 ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint with apex and 

 hairs above towards apex white, teiminal joint half second, rather 

 slender, with median ring mixed with dark fuscous. Antennal 

 ciliations 3. Thorax lilac-brownish sprinkled with dark fuscous. 

 Abdomen light greyish, anal tuft whitish-ochreous. Forewings 

 elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen 

 slightly sinuate, oblique ; white, with a faint rosy tinge, irregularly
