46 Mr. George T. Bethune-Baker’s notes 
vein, where it curves outwards, receding again to the submedian 
vein, whence it recedes rapidly and considerably to the inner 
margin, and has a very fine dark edging. In the central area of 
the wing are four distinct whitish spots, around each of which are 
sprinkled, in fresh specimens, some dark brown rough scales, Hind- 
margin finely and darkly edged. Fringes pale grey. Secondaries 
whitish, with a fine submarginal dark grey stripe a little distance 
from the hindmargin, but following its course. Hindmargin finely 
and darkly edged. Fringes whitish. Antenne ¢ ciliate; 9 simple. 
Exp. alar. 23 mm. 
76. Mnesivena bella, sp.n. (PI. I, fig. 14.) 
Primaries pale-grey, irrorated with pale chestnut roughish 
scales ; basal area dark chestnut-brown with a patch of superim- 
posed rosy scales ; in the central area beyond the middle, near the 
inner margin, is another patch of rosy scales, having a dark 
chestnut basal border, which is edged by a white line, the inner 
margin beneath this patch being chestnut colour. Posterior margin 
broadly but sparingly irrorated with rosy scales, which also extend 
along the inner margin from the anal angle to the rosy patch just 
mentioned. From the costa near the apex, a fine indistinct 
transverse white line extends half across the wing, forming the 
internal border to the posterior rosy scales. Fringes greyish, 
irrorated with pink. Antenne ¢ ciliate. Secondaries whitish, 
with whitish fringes. Exp. alar. 19 to 23 mm. 
In specimens that have flown much the rosy scales get 
almost entirely rubbed off. 
77. Hypotia syrtalis, Rag. 
The specimens are typical. 
78. Hypotia bilinea, sp.n. (PI. I., fig. 15.) 
Primaries greyish-straw colour, central area bounded internally 
by an oblique dark brownish transverse line, and externally by a 
similar dark curved transverse line. In this area, beyond the 
centre, and near the costa, is a dark brownish-grey spot. Just 
before the posterior margin is a fine dark line, which in flown 
specimens is very indistinct. Secondaries very slightly paler than 
primaries, with a dark brownish-grey curved stripe beyond the 
centre, extending from the upper margin to the anal angle, and 
another similar stripe just in front of the posterior margin. 
Fringes ochreous-grey. Thorax as primaries, abdomen as secon- 
daries. Exp. alar. 16-18 mm.
