Hyposidra ingrata. 



Hyposidra hucomela ah ingrata, Warr, Nov. Zool., vii, 

 p. 116 (1900). 



Type ^, Basilan iu coll. Rothschild. 



I believe this to be a good species and not an aberration 

 of Walker's leucomela ; * it lacks the white basal band 

 to the hind-wings, which is a prominent character in 

 Walker's species, Walker's type is also a female ; it is 

 equal to Folder's leptosoma from Luzon, which is a male. 



Petelia vexillaria. 



Pacliydia vexillaria, Guen., Phal., ii, 138, 1147 (1857). 

 Pachydia capitata, Walker, xxiii, 100 (1861). 

 Alana OHihiginata, Walker, xxxv, 1568 (1866). 

 Tacpctria (J) morosa, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc, 1881, p. 403. 

 Petelia furva, Warr., Nov. Zool., iv, p. 398 (1897). 



Guenee's type came from Borneo. 



Type {capitata%), India, should be in O. M.; but is lost. 



Type (ruhiginata), India in 0. M. 



Type {morosa), Japan in B. M. 



Type {furva ^ ), Celebes in coll. Rothschild. 



It is very difficult from the description to identify 

 Guenee's vexillaria : Sir George Hampson identified it 

 as Deilinia riobearia (Moths, iii, p. 217). I identified it 

 as Petelia lareiitiata (Cat. Het. Mus. Oxon., ii, p. 252), but 

 Dr. Frederick Moore had the advantasfe of examininir 

 Guenee's type, and there is an example of this species in 

 the B. M. marked by Moore as same as Guenee's type 

 of vexillaria. 



Petelia circularia., nov. 



$ . Creamy grey tinged with pink, with brown-pink markings, a 

 band on thorax in front, the basal half brown, and the basal half of 

 abdomen with broad segmental bands ; fore-wings with two bands of 

 square spots at the base, the one near costal margin divided into two, 

 a thin band (almost a line) from costa beyond the middle to hinder 

 margin, wl>ere it is indented and is close to the inner lower end of a 

 very large ring, which extends from hinder margin at the angle to 

 near apex and is quite round, has a broad rim of brown-pink contain- 

 ing a pink line ; near the apex there are two brown marks joined to
