also, the subterminal is almost obsolete and the discal spot 

 is narrower, more lunular. The pale subterminal entirely 

 wanting on fore wingr beneath, where both wings are darker 

 and much greyer in tone than in pterota. 



9 . Differs from pterota 9 very much as the cf differs 

 from the cf , the fore wing above being often almost entirely 

 suft'useJ with purplish-fuscous. 



Mt. Poi, 5-200 feet— 1 cT, 4500 feet— 3 9 , 4400 feet— 1 9 . 



It is possible that poiensis is only an aberration or race 

 of pterota, but it seems sufficiently distinct to be deserving 

 of specific rank.

cf. Very nearly agrees in structure with the last two 

 species, but SC'^ is more definitely stalked with SC^-* and 

 is distinctly down-curved at middle (evenly curved throughout 

 in the other two species). The fore u'ing above is coloured 

 very much as in pterota but seems less banded with fuscous ; 

 hind wing distinctly paler than in either of the other two 

 species, with postmedial line somewhat as in poiensis, but 

 rather nearer to the discal spot. Underside somewhat 

 intermediate; nearly the colour of pterota, but less sharpl^y 

 marked and without the pale subterminal line. 



9 . Very near to the 9 erf pterota, but fore wing with 

 the discal spot even lai'ger and blacker, followed distally by 

 a conspicuous rounded pale spot ; postmedial line rather 

 more sharply angled. 



Mt. Murud, without exact data — 1 cf, 19; summit, 

 7200 feet, November — 1 9 ; 6500 feet, November — 5 9 I 

 6000-6500 feet, Octol^er — 4 9, November— 2 9; without 

 exact elevation, November — 4 9 • 



Another possible aberration or race, but the differences 

 seem sufficient to be regarded as specific. 



108. Hydrtllodes minor sp. n. 



cT, 9 , 21-22 mm. 



cT. Palpus with the scaling evenly rounded in front. 

 Antenna semiserrate, with curved bristles two or three times 

 diameter of shaft and shorter ciliation. Fore tibia with 

 rather long, dense, woolly hair, the tarsus glabrous. Fore 

 wing with a highly raised fold at middle, somewhat as in
