of fact albodentata and hybrida agree with Psimada in almost 

 as man}' points as with lanceola Guen., Spec. Gen. Lep., vii, 

 p. 373, 1852, Silhet, the type of Mecodina Guen. 



65. Pangbapta hylaxalis Wlkr. 



Egnasia hylaxalis Wlkr., Spec. Lep. Ins., xvi, p. 222, 1858, Sarawak. 



Mt. Murud, November, without elevation — 19. 



A fine, large specimen (36 mm.), with the tawny shades on 

 thorax and base of fore wing a little extra bright and with a 

 very conspicuous white belt on dorsum of abdomen at distal 

 end of segment 2. On the underside the dark shading 

 proximally to the reniform and the pale oblique bar from 

 apex of fore wing are wanting ; the discal spot on hind wing 

 is unusually broad. These differences are probably only 

 aberrational, though it is possible this may prove to be 

 a constant high altitude form. 



There is one cT from Java in Coll. Brit. Mus. ; otherwise 

 hylaxalis is known to me from Sara\\ak only, where it is 

 apparently not common. 



66. Gracillina prosthenia Hmpsn. 



Gracillina prosthenia Hmpsn., Entom., Ivii, p. 182, 1824, Singapore. 



Mt. Penrissen, 2000 feet— 1 cf . 



Described from a single cf from Singapore. Also in Coll. 

 Joicey from Sungei Ujong and Sarawak. Apparently not a 

 common insect. 



67. Thro ana callista sp. n. 



(f 30 mm. 



In coloration and markings somewhat recalls amyntoralis 

 Wlkr., Spec. Lep. Ins., xvi, p. 225, 1858, Saraw^ak, the type 

 of Throana, but is altogether a more striking and handsome 

 insect. The 2nd and 3rd segments of palpus are both rather 

 longer than in amyntoralis ; fore and hind wings rather longer 

 and narrower, even more acutely angled at middle (especially 

 fore wing) with fringes apparently rather more highly dentate. 



Proximal half of fore wing and third of hind wing slightly 

 paler violet-grey than in amyntoralis ; ^Yalker, in his 

 description, omits to mention these pale areas, speaking only 

 of the subapical pale patch on fore wdng ; the dark markings 

 .are chocolate-brown, strongly contrasting (not "testaceous"), 

 on fore wing forming a distinct triangular patch on costa
