SCOTOCOREMIA, H. g. 



Allied to Cidaria, with the aspect of a large Coremia 

 coloration of typical Scotosia ; antennae short, rather 

 thick, tapering and rather strongly ciliated in the male ; 

 its larger secondaries, the straighter outer margin of its 

 primaries, shorter and stouter abdomen, and style of 

 coloration will at once distinguish it from the preceding 

 genus. 



121. Scotocoremia ohscura, n. s. 



Pattern of Larentia frustrata of Europe, than which, 

 however, it is larger ; coloration of Scotosia duhitata 

 greyish, the primaries with a slight pinky gloss, the 

 markings dark grey-brown edged with black ; the under 

 surface is like that of a Hammaptera, the primaries grey, 

 with a white angular stripe indicating the outer border 

 of the central belt, with a submarginal row of white 

 spots and a small black disco-cellular dot; the secondaries 

 greyish white, with black disco-cellular spot ; three 

 angular grey lines just beyond the middle, and an ill- 

 defined submarginal line. Expanse of wings, 36 mm.

PsALiODES, Guenee. 



122. Psaliodes signata, n. s. 



Primaries above whity-brown, sericeous, traversed by 

 several undulated white lines, one of which limits the 

 external area, and is edged with black ; a white disco- 

 cellular spot ; basal fourth brown, edged and traversed 

 by black lines ; an irregular dark brown costal spot 

 beyond the middle ; external area ferruginous internally 

 and grey externally, the two colours separated by a 

 crinkled white line, upon which, towards apex, is a black 

 spot ; a marginal series of linear black spots ; fringe 

 cream-coloured, traversed by a dark grey stripe ; 

 secondaries grey, with faint pink reflections ; fringe 

 nearly as in primaries ; body grey ; thorax brownish ; 

 primaries below dark sericeous-grey; a blackish Z-shaped 

 character upon a whitish ground at the end of the cell ; 

 a golden apical costal patch, pale at the extremities, and 

 crossed by brownish undulated stripes ; secondaries 

 whitish, densely irrorated with grey ; a black disco- 

 cellular spot ; a dentate-sinuate blackish discal line, and
