forming the edge of the l)i'iiwn markings ; black marginal spots l)ctwecn the veins ; 

 fringe pale greyish greeu ; cell-sjiot linear, blackish green, with traces of a small 

 dot above it. 



Hindwing : without first line ; some dark scales at base; cell-spot green. 



Underside whitish, with a greenish tinge; a blackish marginal border to 

 forewing, paling towards hiudmargin and apex, bnt leaving no distinct spots, its 

 inner edge sinuous ; cell-spot large, with a small dot above it ; hindwing with 

 slight cell-spot, the black border narrower, its inner edge curved and snbcrenulate, 

 its outer more broadly pale. 



Face deep black ; palpi pale greenish ochreous ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen 

 green, the last with the basal segments dusted with blackish laterally, the anal 

 segments and underside ochreons.

Akin to P. angidij'era Warr., but smaller and more neatly marked ; the 

 underside quite different.

 10. Agathia conjunctiva spec. uov. 



Foreicing : deep green, without any yellow tint ; the markings brownish liver- 

 coloured ; all much broader and more ample than those of A. pisina Butl., which 

 to a great extent they resemble ; the central fascia is more oblique, less constricted 

 above and below the middle, and instead of ending vertically at middle of inner 

 margin, curves obliquely outwards and coalesces below vein 1 with the dark outer 

 area ; the inner edge of this area is oblique and indented once only, at vein 4 : 

 within its inner edge is a lustrous violet dentate line, well marked; the subapical 

 green blotch is bilobed and never reaches below vein 4 ; below it are two isolated 

 yellow-green spots ; the marginal area becomes i)aler brown with dark slender 

 strigae ; fringe red-brown. 



Hindwing: with the marginal two-fifths dark, the inner edge merely bent, 

 without any sinus, or at least with only a slight indentation at vein 4 ; the grren 

 submarginal oval blotch, the tooth and pale spot below it, as in pisiiia : bnt the 

 fringe red, darker beyond veins. 



Underside like pisina, but the bauds broader. 



Shoulders, base of j)atagia, and a spot on metathorax green ; all the rest 

 violet-brown ; face and palpi below ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm.

Tliis is nearest to the ? of A. subcarnea Warr., from which it is at once 

 scjiarable. Unfortunately, as in the case of ^i. obiiKhilata, no 66 have been 

 secured. 



20. Agathia obnubilata spec. nov. 

 Forewing : bright i)ale green ; the basal patch, a thick sinuous antemedian 

 fascia, and the whole outer half of wing smoky olive-grey-green ; the costa grey- 

 speckled ; the edge of basal patch curved ; the fascia bluntly rounded outwards 

 above the median vein, and inwards below it, coalescing with the marginal dark area 

 above the submedian vein; this area inwardly projecting at vein 3 and mori' bluntly
