ISO Mr. Butler's descriptions of 



five true sub-costal branches, the second (which forms the upper 

 ramus of the sub-costal fiu-ca) being again forked close to apex; 

 the u])per radial emitted from the anterior angle of the cell 

 instead of from the posterior margin of the sub- costal vein; the 

 second and third median branches in all the wings well separated 

 at their origins instead of being emitted from one point; the 

 antennaj also are shorter, are narrowly pectinated instead of 

 penicillate, and the palpi are very small and porrected ; the legs 

 are very imperfect in the type, but they are clearly not covered 

 with the long woolly hair of a Phalera. 



16. Microphalera grisea, n. sp. 



Primaries white, varied with pale testaceous, and irrorated 

 with black scales, Avhich give the Avings a greyish ajipearance; 

 central area bounded upon the costa by two pairs of oblique 

 black dashes, the second and third, or two inner dashes forming 

 the commencement of two irregularly dentate-sinuate whit«- 

 bordered dusky lines, which approach one another below the 

 median vein; a longitudinal black dash in the cell and four 

 others placed in a zigzag arrangement upon the disc beyond the 

 cell ; a very indistinct dusky third line parallel to the second 

 dentate-sinuate line and dotted upon the veins with black, across 

 the lower half of the disc ; a marginal series of black dots 

 followed by dusky spots on the fringe; secondaries sordid white, 

 slightly pearly, and with a tolerably broad irregular pale 

 brownish-grey external border; fringe spotted Avith whitish; 

 thorax white, irrorated with black ; abdomen brown ; under- 

 surface pale brown; costa and external half of primaries and 

 body darker and of a more coppery colour; fringes of wings 

 dark broAvn, spotted with Avhite. Expanse of wings 41 mm.

17. Miresa inornata^ $ , Walk. 



$ Allied to M, bracteata, from Darjiling, but more ochra- 

 ccous throughout, especially upon the primaries, which are also 

 a little shorter and entirely destitute of all the brilliant metallic 

 silver markings of that species; the secondaries are more or less 

 BufFus(<l with broAvnish beyond the middle, and shoAV no trace 

 of the dusky sj)ot upon the fringe towards anal angle, Avhich is 

 present in M. bracteata. Expanse of wings 34 mm. 

 Yokohama, Yamato ; feeds on the pear (li. Fryer).
