102 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



medial line ; this is flecked with brown towards costa, shaded with 

 brown towards termen, hmited on its inner edge to vein 4 by the 

 postmedial Une, outwardly edged by a broad black line, which unites 

 with a black blotch on the terminal area ; a white tapered streak 

 runs from tornus to the inner edge of white band at vein 3 ; apical 

 area rather browner than the discal area ; fringes white, marked 

 with black beyond the white band. Hind wings fuliginous, broadly 

 bordered with w^hite on terminal area, fringes white. Underside 

 fuliginous, with white markings as on fore wings. 



? . Similar to the male, but the white band of fore wings 

 without brown shading towards tornus. 



Expanse, (^ , 86 mm. ; ? , 98 mm. 



A female taken on November 7tli, 1912, and a male on the 

 30tb of the same month. 



Allied to X. dholaria, Moore, but distinguished by the broad 

 white bands of the wings. 



Sarciiiodcs luzoiiensis, sp. n. 



(^ . Silvery-grey with a faint pinkish tinge, clouded and freckled 

 with pinkish-brown. Fore wings have three oblique transverse 

 lines, the first internally edged with silvery-white and slightly 

 curved ; the third, which is >also silvery-white on its inner edge, runs 

 to the apex and is parallel with the second, except on the costa ; sub- 

 terminal line wavy, chiefly indicated by white dots on the veins. 

 Hind wings have two parallel brown lines, the inner inclining to 

 black, and the outer edged with silvery-white ; subterminal line 

 whitish, wavy ; dorsum white from base to first transverse line. 

 Fringes of all wings brown, except on dorsum of hind wings, where 

 they are white. Underside pale brown, sufi'used with darker and 

 freckled with fuscous ; terminal area clouded with rufous brown, 

 becoming orange at tornus ; postmedial line dark brown, inwardly 

 oblique to vein 2, thence direct to dorsum, where it appears to join a 

 dark brown antemedial line on the hind wing ; beyond the line on 

 each wing is a rather broad dusky shade, which is outwardly limited 

 by a pale crenulate line ; subterminal line as on upper side. 



Expanse, 58 mm. 



Two male specimens captured on December 3rd, 1912. 



Very similar to S. nquilineariu , Walk., but more rosy in 

 colour, and the transverse lines are rather different in contour. 

 The antennae are shorter and are pectinated for only two- thirds 

 of their length instead of three-fourths, as in S. aqitilinearia.
