175. Phalera fuscescens, n. 8. 
Allied to P. assimilis of Bremer (P. ningpoana of 
Felder) ; but much larger, with broader wings, and a 
much broader cream-coloured apical patch on the pri- 
maries, a distinct white spot at the end of the cell on the 
same wings; primaries above with the costal half grey, 
excepting at apex, where there is a large irregular cream- 
coloured patch bounded internally by a blackish lunulate 
and angular line, which crosses the disc, and externally 
by an irregularly dentated line; upon this patch is a 
transverse series of ochreous spots ; internal half silvery 
white, irrorated with grey, and a spot of the same is at 
the end of the cell; an irregular black line across the 
basal fourth; a submarginal series of <-shaped black 
markings, those towards apex bounding two small 
ochraceous spots; a slender black marginal line; fringe 
ferruginous, speckled with white ; a dusky patch close to 
anal angle; secondaries pale fuliginous; fringe ferru- 
cinous, spotted with white between the veins; body as in 
P. bucephala ; under surface sordid cream-colour ; pri- 
maries widely washed with grey, which is darkest on the 
discoidal area; secondaries with a stripe across the 
middle and an anal patch and diffused submarginal streak 
erey; outer margins of all the wings dusky, and the 
fringe ferruginous, spotted with white ; palpi ferruginous, 
blackish at the base ; legs fuliginous, tarsi banded with 
white ; expanse of wings, 2 inches 7 lines. 
Yokohama (H. Pryer). 
This species and P. assimilis may at once be dis- 
tinguished from the European forms by their smoky 
secondaries; in this respect they approach the Indian type 
of Phalera. 
ENNOMIDA. 
176. Calcaritis oberthueri, n.s. 
Whity brown, speckled with olive-brown and black ;

stripe across the basal fourth black or dark brown ; disco- 
cellulars black ; two very irregular undulated blackish or 
dark brown stripes beyond the middle, beyond which the 
dise is white; anoval black patch in the centre of the second 
median interspace, interrupting the second post-median 
stripe; external border blackish or olivaceous-brown, 
interrupted at apex and on second median interspace,
