Family Arctiidae. 
1. Utethetsa dorsifumata, sp. n. 
3 ? .—38-42 mm. 
Decidedly larger on an average than pulchelloides, Hmpsn., 
further differing as follows :— 
Head more ochreous (less mixed with white). Abdomen 
dorsally with strong smoky suffusions. 
Fore wing with the black lines macular, but strongly 
thickened, the spots usually in part confluent ; a characteristic 
longitudinal black white-ringed spot behind the end of M 
and the base of M’; red spots more quadrate in form, more 
completely (though very slenderly) dark-edged ; terminal 
black spots more consistently and uniformly continued across 
cilia. 
Hind wing of ¢ with a black-grey streak (1 or 2 mm. in 
length) along middle part of the ridge which overhangs the 
inner-marginal pocket ; hair-pencil apparently less developed 
and whiter; discal mark in both sexes varying in develop- 
ment (strong to obsolescent), perhaps stronger in the ? than 
in the ¢; apical border rather broad ; hamate patch with its 
posterior edge longer than its anterior, produced to a proximal 
point on or just behind M’; dark terminal markings between 
fold and tornus better developed. 
Fore wing beneath with the white parts suffused with 
smoke-colour, except for a clear patch at and sometimes 
beyond end of cell. Hind wing beneath with the dark 
markings enlarged.

The increase of black more recalls sa/omonis, Rthschd., and 
ruberrima, Rthschd., but they have both more nearly the g 
antenna of pectinata, Hmpsn. The group still needs careful 
revision on extensive material, but the present species is 
sufficiently outstanding. 
Family Hypside. 
2. Nyctemera pellex pervecta, subsp. n. 
3 3 —37-41 mm. 
On an average smaller than the other races of pellea, Linn.,
