+ Dasychira nubifera sp. nov. $. In its markings 

 recalling Ercheia subsignata, Walker, a noctuid. The 

 body is pale brown, darker on the thorax. The prim- 

 aries are pale wood-brown, with a darker shade run- 

 ning from the costa at the base diagonally to the middle 

 of the inner margin, then sweeping upwardty in an 

 irregular curve to the costa, which it reaches before the 

 apex, the outer margin being broadly much paler than 

 the rest of the wing. There are transverse basal, 

 median, and limbal dark lines, and an irregular ocelli- 

 form spot at the end of the cell. The secondaries are 

 pale cinereous. On the under side, both wings are 

 ashen and both have a conspicuous discal spot and 

 some incomplete lines beyond it near the costa. Ex- 

 panse, 47 mm.

\ Dasychira (?) variegata, sp. nov. tf. Collar dark 

 brown ; upper side of thorax gray; abdomen fulvous 

 with dorsal and lateral rows of black spots. The 

 primaries are creamy marked with brown spots and 

 lines. Of these the most conspicuous are a basal spot, 

 a broad sub-basal brown band margined on both sides 

 with paler, a large ovoid spot at the end of the cell, a tri- 

 angular subapical spot of brown on the costa, a smaller 

 brown spot near the outer angle, and a series of mar- 

 ginal lunulate markings. The secondaries are white 

 narrowly margined with pale brown. The marginal 

 series of lunulate markings is continued from the prim- 

 aries, and there is a subtriangular brown spot at the anal 

 angle. On the under side both wings are paler and the 

 markings are more obscure.
