Stictoptera pectinata, sp. n. Plate IV. 



If this insect does not constitute a distinct genus it 

 should be placed in a separate division on account of the 

 strongly pectinate antennae of the male, and the scjuare- 

 shaped wings; in other respects it follows the genus. 



Head and terminal joint of palpi ochreous; legs, antennae and 

 second joint of palpi rather darker; collar reddish ochreous, patagia 

 purplish brown; abdomen dark grey with jaale tuft. Fore-wing 

 dark marbled with grey, green, purple and brown ; basal line dark, 

 margined with paler extending to cell; antemedian obscurely 

 double, greenish; median line sharp and dark, but not extending 

 to inner margin ; postmedian line dark, angulated, and interrupted, 

 followed by two brown blotches and a brown subterminal line. 

 Hind-iving dark grey, subhyaline at base. What I take to be the 

 female has plain antennae, and the patagia and basal half of fore- 

 wing, together with a postmedian area pale grey. Exp. 31 mm. 



Eutelia aureopicta, sp. n. Plate IV 



Head, antennae, legs, and palpi pinkish grey; thorax and crests 

 of abdomen coppery bronze, abdomen pinkish grey. Fore-wing 

 bronze, with grey lines and chocolate blotches; basal line ill de- 

 fined, followed by three chocolate patches; an antemedian angu- 

 lated whitish line; the orbicular, a dark dot outlined with white; 

 the reniform large, oblique, outlined with white, with a dark edging 

 of chocolate on the inner side; three ill-defined chocolate patches 

 on the hind margin, and traces of a double white subterminal line ; 

 before the middle patch is an oblique golden spot, followed by a 

 minute dot of same colour. Hind-wing whitish, with a broad 

 fuscous margin. Underside grey, with reddish suffusion towards 

 the margins, and a white spot on costa before the apex. Exp. 

 30 mm. 



Eutelia ochreoplagata, sp. n. Plate II. 



Head, legs, antennae, and palpi dark fuscous ; abdomen without 

 crests, dark fuscous. Fore-iving purplish grey, with lines much 

 darker; basal line broad, antemedian Ime double, one portion 

 joining with central line on inner margin; the postmedian line 

 angulated below costa, and preceded by a slightly paler patch; 

 beyond this the apex becomes abruptly pale ochreous, and pene- 

 trating half of this patch is the subterminal line, consisting of six 

 dark brown comiected spots. Hind-wing purplish grey, inclhiing to 

 ochreous at base, with three angulated transverse lines, the outer-
