418 Mr. A. G. Butler’s Descriptions of new 
At first sight this species is extremely like P. notata 
(the “ Macaria” notata of European collections), but a 
comparison of the under surface of the secondaries 
would convince the most sceptical that they were 
perfectly distinct. 
FIDONIIDA. 
124. Numeria japonica, n. s. 
Nearly allied to N. pulveraria, but the primaries with 
the centre of the belt of the same colour as the rest of 
the wing, and the inner stripe of the belt sinuous instead 
of straight; the secondaries nearly as dark as the 
primaries ; under surface with the stripes across the 
wings better defined; expanse of wings, 1 inch 8—4 
lines. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
125. Cleogene sordida, n. 8. 
Nearest to C. lutearia, but the primaries pale greyish 
brown, mottled all over with sandy brown, and with sandy 
yellowish reflections*; basal line of fringe whitish ; body 
grey ; margins of head, collar, tegule, and segments of 
abdomen whitish ; wings below golden brown ; body white 
below, the head and collar sordid; expanse of wings, 
1 inch 2 lines. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
C. peletieraria seems to me to come nearer to Scoria 
than to C. lutearia; the upward curve of the costal 
margin of primaries beyond the discoidal cell is charac- 
teristic, although more apparent than real; this seeming 
flexion of the margin is due to the greater length of the 
costal border in the two species, C. peletieraria and 
Scoria dealbata; in other respects the two genera 
Cleogene and Scoria seem to be identical. 
126. Osicerda paupera, n. s. 
Cinereous ; wings sericeous ; primaries with two sub- 
quadrate black costal spots, one before and one beyond 
the middle; antenne white; head and collar pale 
ochreous ; under surface of body grey, the front of pectus, 
* The general tint is pale sandy brown, when seen without a lens.
