on some Lepidoptera from Alexandria. 41 
interrupted and edged internally with dark brown; posterior 
margin darkly dotted, orbicular stigma distinct, pale ochre, finely 
outlined with dark brown. Reniform stigma indistinct, grey, with 
a pale dash on the basal edge ; costa with three pale ochreous spots. 
Fringes lustrous ochreous-brown, Abdomen greyish white. 
Secondaries very pale grey, slightly darker on posterior margin. 
Exp. alar. 30 to 32 mm. Antenne very strongly ciliate, almost 
plumose. 
@. Similar to g, but the colours each intensified, 7.e., the dark 
areas are darker, the light are lighter ; all the markings much more 
pronounced, and the reniform stigma distinct. Antenne simple. 
Exp. alar. 28 mm. 
The ¢ differs somewhat in colouration, some being 
quite pale ochreous with dark central areas, others dark 
greyish ochre, and much more uniform in general tone; 
the pattern is however apparently quite constant. The 
primaries of ? are decidedly narrower than the ¢. 
This species will follow Orana of Lucas, but is easily 
recognizable by its more variegated appearance, visible 
in even the greyest and most uniform specimens; also by 
the basal line, the pale line beyond the reniform stigma, 
and the dark reniform itself. There is no pale patch at 
the apex as in Orana. 
The secondaries are very much paler, and the abdomen 
is whitish-grey instead of brown as in Lucas’s species. 
I have named this insect after Mr. Marsden of Alex- 
andria, through whose kindness I have received these 
collections. 
39. Miana trilinea, sp.n. (PI. 1., fig. 10.) 
Primaries ashen-grey, first line near base dark brown, strongly 
dentate on median vein; second dark brown line touching orbi- 
cular stigma internally ; third line just beyond the reniform, like- 
wise dark brown ; the area between the first and second lines is 
much paler grey. Just beyond the third line is a band of paler 
shading ; orbicular and reniform stigmata pale grey darkly out- 
lined. Posterior margin finely edged with dark brown. Fringes 
lustrous grey. Seccndaries pale grey, slightly lustrous, darker near 
posterior margin. Fringes paler grey. Thorax as_ primaries, 
Abdomen as secondaries. Exp. alar. 21} to 234 mm. 
40. Hriopus latreillii, Dup. 
A common insect of the ordinary type.
