— the, two first in the eell, the tliird very small at end of cell, the 

 fourth large, extending in triangular form from the costa to vein 4, 

 and margined outside by a dark line. Hind-wing with two faint 

 striae enclosing a paler space. Exp. 28 mm. 



Glyphodes paramlcalis, sp. n. Plate VI. 



On comparing this insect with Swinhoe's description of 

 amicaJis, and the type of this and of .vtbamicalis in the 

 Natural History Museum, I am convinced that this is a 

 different species. 



Head, antennae, palpi, and legs whitish; thorax and abdomen 

 fuscous brown, collar and patagia dove-colour. Fore-iving dark 

 brown suffused with purple, with two semi-hyaline bands with 

 violet reflections ; the first band oblique, and sharply angulated on 

 the outside; the second wide on the costa, and tapering to a point 

 a little below the third vein; a faint pale dot at end of cell. Hind- 

 iving similar, with one triangular transverse hyaline band bordered 

 outside by a double oblique dark line, beyond which the disc has a 

 greenish reflection; fringes pale, but not white. Exp. 30 mm. 



Pyrausta aureotinctalis, sp. n. Plate V. 



Head, antennae, and palpi pale brown, legs and underside of 

 thorax white ; thorax and abdomen orange, patagia canary-yellow. 

 Fore-wing semi-hyaline with golden reflections; antemedian line 

 indicated by two dark dots; a dark dot at end of cell, and two 

 dots nearer to inner margin, the postmedian indicated by four faint 

 dots. Hind-wing similar, with a row of dark marginal dots, fringes 

 golden. Exp. 34 mm. 



Pyrausta elutalis, sp. n. Plate VI. 



Head, antennae, and palpi dark brown, legs paler, and the tarsi 

 ringed with dark brown ; thorax and patagia greenish grey ; abdo- 

 men pale brown, tuft pale. Fore-wing greenish grey mottled with 

 paler ; a curved antemedian line darker, a sinuous median line, and 

 a postmedian angulated line, curving outwards from the costa but 

 not reaching the inner margm. Hind-wing pale brown without 

 markings, fringes paler. Exp. 32 mm. 



Pyrausta marginescriptalis, sp. n. Plate VI.
