[Continued from p. 149.] 



Genus Chabula, Moore. 



19. Chabula vedonalis, sp. n. 



$ ? . Coloured like G. acamasalis } Walker, and G. telphu- 

 salis, Walker, = reniferalis, Snellen ; smaller but much darker 

 than either, and the dark purplish-grey colour more uniform 

 throughout ; the first white spot on fore wings replaced by a 

 white band across the wing, preceded and also followed by a 

 slightly sinuous white line ; the second white spot wedge- 

 shaped and not reniform, broad on the costa, the point down- 

 wards, reaching down a little more than a third of the breadth 

 of the wing, with a white line on each side which extend 

 across the wing, meet together on the hinder margin one third 

 from the angle, and are there joined by the second line, 

 which curves along the hinder margin ; cilia concolorous 

 with the wings. The hind wings have the costal margin 

 narrowly white, with three white streaks running downwards 

 from it, all inside the nearly straight discal white line. On 

 the underside the base of fore wings and all but the outer 

 margin of hind wings are white ; the bands and spots on fore 

 wings same as they are above, on the hind wings there is a 

 middle grey line. 



Expanse of wings -5% inch. 



Shillong and Cherra Punji. Numerous examples. 



G. telphusalis, Walker, is very near C. acamasalts, Walker, 

 but it seems to be a good species, the differences so distinctly 

 described by Snellen being constant. I have received it in 

 great numbers from the Khasia Hills. C. vedonalis is very 

 distinct, and can at once be distinguished from both by its 

 wedge-shaped outer spot on the costa of fore wings and by 

 the absence of white on cilia at the angles. 



Glyphodes terealis, Walker, from Borneo, also belongs to 

 the genus Chabula, and is closely allied to the others, but 

 apparently quite distinct. 



Genus Pagyda, Walker. 



20. Pagyda discolor, sp. n. 



J. Palpi ochreous, with the hairs tipped with purplish 

 brown ; antenna?, head, body, and wings of a uniform grey
