wardly by creamy dots and succeeded out- 

 wardly by black checks upon the fringes. 

 The secondaries are pale creamy-white 

 touched with dark brown on the fringes 

 about the middle of the outer angle. The 

 under side of both wings is white with the 

 base and middle area of the primaries dark 

 fuliginous. The black checks on the fringes 

 of the upper side reappear upon the lower 

 side. 



$ . The female does not differ essentially 

 from the male in markings, save that on the 

 upper side of the secondaries there are some 

 dark brown cloudings which are reproduced 

 upon the lower side. Expanse, $, 25 mm.; 

 ^30 to 32 mm. 



Orgyopsis, Feld. 



135. O. tenuis, sp. nov. <j> . Body 

 creamy-white. Primaries white laved with 

 very pale ferruginous -at the apex and on the 

 outer margin. There is a very minute black 

 dot in the middle of the cell, two very slen- 

 der lines forming a letter K at the end of the 

 cell, a curved and crenulate pale sub-basal 

 line with a geminate very faint transverse 

 sublimbal line, the area between these two 

 lines near the inner margin being clouded 

 with pale fawn. There is a minute white 

 spot at the apex of the primaries followed by 

 four or five dark brown semi-lunate markings 

 on the outer margin below the apex, the 

 third of these spots being defined inwardly 

 by a white sagittate mark. The upper side 

 of the secondaries is pure white. The under 

 side of both primaries and secondaries is 

 likewise pure white. Expanse, 29 mm. 



NOTODONTIDAE. 



Somera, Walk. 



136. 5\ chloauc/iena, sp. nov. J. Front 

 pale green ; antennae testaceous ; upper side 

 of thorax and pectus grass-green; upper side 

 of abdomen very pale green; the lower side 

 of thorax and abdomen white; on the dorsal 



line of the abdomen immediately behind the 

 thorax is a large raised tuft of scales, green 

 in the centre and dark brown on the sides. 

 Upper side : The primaries are pale green 

 crossed beyond the base by a paler line curv- 

 ing from the costa near the base toward the 

 middle of the inner margin and defined out- 

 wardly by a broad band of dark green. 

 There is a discal dot in the cell and a curved 

 transverse limbal line of raised whitish scales 

 beyond the cell, the patches of raised scales 

 composing this line being defined outwardly 

 and inwardly by narrow lines of dark green. 

 There is a submarginal series of raised 

 patches of white scales at the extremities of 

 the interspaces defined externally by dark 

 green ; a marginal series of narrow dark lines 

 on the interspaces. The fringes are white. 

 The secondaries are whitish with the costa 

 and the outer angle more or less heavily 

 clouded with green and the extremities of the 

 nervules beyond the cell being marked with 

 dark brown. The marginal markings and 

 the fringes of the secondaries are as on the 

 primaries. Underside: On the under side 

 both wings are white with the costa near the 

 base and the outer area of the wing just be- 

 yond the cell clouded with purplish-black. 

 Expanse, 37 mm. 



137. 5. desmotis, sp. nov. $. Antennae 

 testaceous; front, pectus, thorax, and ex- 

 tremitv of abdomen pale green; the upper 

 side of the abdomen brownish ; lower side of 

 thorax whitish. Upper side : Primaries pale 

 green like the thorax, crossed by a broad 

 dark brown band with its outer margin pro- 

 duced beyond the end of the cell and curved 

 and excavated inwardly and outwardly. Its 

 inner edge toward the base is marked by a 

 very irregular darker curved transverse basal 

 line. The secondaries are brownish with the 

 outer angle and the margin narrowly green. 

 Lower side: The wings are uniformly 'j,v.\y 

 shading into paler, almost whitish, near the 

 base, especially in the secondaries. Expanse, 

 55 mm -
