 arched discal series upon a slender dusky line, black; 

 body stramineous ; female below with the wings shining 

 white, sparsely irrorated with grey and blackish, the 

 'costal ■ areas slightly tinted with stramineous ; well- 

 defined, though small, blackish disco-cellular spots ; 

 primaries crossed by two grey stripes, .corresponding

. Valparaiso. 



There is also a variety in which the two stripes across 

 the wings converge much less at inner margin, and the 

 discal dots or stripe on the secondaries are less distinct 

 or obliterated ; I haydly think this can be a different 

 species. 



PSEUDOSESTRA, n. g. 



Closely allied to Sestra, of Walker, from New Zealand, 

 but differing in having the outer margin of the primaries 

 rounded, with scarcely a trace of angulation at the 

 extremity of the third median branch, and with no trace 

 of sinuation between. the latter and the apex; secondaries 

 apparently with the costal margin longer. Type, P. 

 ohtusata {Lozogramm'a oitusato, Walk., from New Zealand). 



I believe that my " OzoW terranea, from Japan, will 

 have to be referred to this genus, but at present I only 

 know the female ; the male may have pectinated an- 

 tennge. 



73. Pseudosestra bella, n. s. 



Primaries pale pinky brown, clouded with sienna 

 beyond the middle, sparsely but rather conspicuously 

 black-speckled, lilacine-grey at apex ; fringe rust-red ; a 

 short oblique abbreviated blackish line across the costal 

 area, just before the middle, and an oblique subangulated 

 and slightly curved grey stripe across the disc ; two ' 

 small submarginal black spots near the apex; secondaries 

 sericeous snow-white ; the fringe slightly tinted with 

 pink towards th-e anal angle, a biangtilated greyish 

 brown line across the disc in the female ; body cream- 

 coloured : head and collar flesh-coloured ; male below
