band is farther from the outer margin, especially at its 

 lower extremity ; the secondaries, which have two short 

 caudate projections, are most like those of C. Amelia, but 

 the blue band is three times as wide, and there is a white 

 spot above it; the underside differs a good deal from all 

 the allied species. 



Genus PsEUDEKESiA, n. gen.* 



AJMedi to Liptena: primaries elongate-triangular ; sub- 

 costal nervure six-branched, the first only emitted before 

 end of cell, the sixth apparently representing the upper 

 radial ; secondaries short, pyriform ; cell extending to 

 middle of wing, disco-cellulars oblique, lower twice as long 

 as upper, concave ; subcostal branched on a level with end 

 of cell : body long, slender, palpi moderately long, slightly 

 hairy; antennte about two-fifths the length of primaries, 

 very slender, submoniliform, anuulated with white, club 

 very abrupt, compressed. 



Type, Pseuderesia Catharina. 



Pseuderesia Catharina, n. sp. (PI. XI. figs. 4,5.) 



Wings above black, primaries with a transverse spot at 

 end of cell, and a large suboval patch cut by the median 

 branches dark orange ; apical costa of primaries and outer 

 marginal fringe varied w4th white : body black-brown ; 

 antennte black, annulated with white ; primaries below 

 brown, varied with silvery-grey, basal area crossed by 

 three broad irregular black bands ; between the second 

 and third and within cell a reddish-orange spot ; a broad 

 subtriangular orange patch from just beyond end of cell to 

 near external angle, fading into brown towards inner mar- 

 gin, and cut by the radials and median branches ; a black 

 irregular discal band deeply sinuated betAveen the nervures 

 externally and bordered with red ; a submarginal line, 

 forming two triangular spots tOAvards apex, and a marginal 

 line black ; fi'inge varied with white ; secondaries silvery- 

 grey, irrorated with red from base to middle of wing; 

 base, a triangidar spot filling the end of cell, and a sub- 

 costal spot red ; three small rounded sub-basal, and three 



* We have two species apparently referable to this genus in the British 

 Museum ; but a promise which I made to Mr. Hewitson has prevented my 

 doing anything with them. They are described and figured by Hewitson 

 as species of Liptena. A fourth species (resembling Terias) is in the 

 Dublin Society's Museum.
