'Head, thorax, and wings pale buff, largely diffused with 

 pale violaceons-grey, whicli is somewhat deeper in tone 

 between the oblique antemedial and the postmedial line, 

 forming a darker band across both wings, which on the hind 

 wing leaves only a very small pale area at base of wing, as 

 in variUans, Selenis vaciUans Wlkr.. Proc. Ijinn. Soc. Zool.. 

 \\\. p. 189. 1864, Sarawak, which this species recalls in its 

 scheme of pattern, though it is much more variegated in tone 

 and has the anterior h^ilf of fore wing less strongly contrasted 

 with the posterior half except at base : the lines somewhat as 

 in varUhiriff but the postmedial much better defined and more 

 waved (especially on fore wing), distally bordered with a 

 yellowish shade, upon which the black spots on posterior half 

 of hind wing stand out rather sharply : on the fore wing 

 there is an oblique, diffused chocolate streak from apex 

 behind the pale subapical patch, connected with an almost 

 horizontal streak to end of fringe between R.^ and R'. 

 Underside with the proximal half of wings Cespecially hind 

 wing"* darker than in i^aeillayi'^. the hind wmg with a pale 

 vellow band from postmedial to subterminal line.

In spite of the rather different palpus and the tuft of hair 

 above the frons. which makes it impossible to see with 

 certainf7j whether there is any frontal prominence, this 

 species seems to fit well into the genus Oruza (as at present 

 constituted). Tn the absence of the cT it is impossible to 

 say with certainty in which section of the genus it should 

 be placed.

Pseudacidalia fulvilinea Warr. . Seitz. Macro. -Lep., xi. p. 252, pi. 241,

Although we have had no opportunity of comparing this 

 specimen with Warren's type, it answers so well to the figure 

 and description that T have felt no hesitation in referring it 

 to this very interesting species, of which the 9 type only 

 seems to have been previously recorded. Tf the figure in 

 Seitz Macro-Lep. is accurately coloured, the Malayan form is 

 somewhat more rufous in tone than the Sarawak (which has 

 very little rufous tinge), but from two specimens it is quite 

 impossible to judge whether this is a racial variation.
