shape ; costa hardly curved ; apex rounded in c?, pointed in ? ; hindmargin nearly 

 vertical ; inner margin rather convex in c?, straight in ? . 



lUiuhciiig : one-third broader than forewings iu (J ; anal angle sijuarod ; 

 hindmargin snbcreuulate, and nearly straight in (J from anal angle to vein G ; apex 

 rounded. 



Palj)i of c? shorter than in Perixera and the allied genera, of ? quite as long ; 

 antennae of S bipectinate for two-thirds ; hiudtibiae in both sexes with four spurs ; 

 forewings of S in basal half below subcostal vein clothed with rough furry scales. 



Neuration as in Perixera ; forewing without areole. 



Type : Prostenodes comosa spec. nov. 



In appearance the type species resembles PachjtliaUa rotundata "Warr. from 

 Penang, but that, like Pisoracn, has only three spurs on the S hindtibia.

Foreicing : pale wood-brown, in the S more reddish-tinged, thickly dusted 

 with fuscous atoms ; costal area in i broadly pale grey with blackish speckling ; in 

 ? concolorous with rest of wing ; a blackish, somewhat linear, cell-spot ; followed 

 by a dentate grey median fascia, narrower in the S and more deeply insinuate below 

 middle ; an outcurved lunnlate-deutate outer line, the teeth darker on the veins ; 

 submarginal line jialer, more distinct in the ? ? , preceded and followed by grey 

 bands ; cell-spots black ; fringe })aler ; in the ? there are traces of a twice-curved 

 inner line, which is hidden in the cJ by the rufous fnrry scaling. 



Ilindwing : like forewing ; the cell-spot blacker ; the markings clear in both 

 sexes. 



Underside of c? deep rosy iu both wings, the hindwing only becoming jialer 

 towards inner margin ; the cell-spots and all the outer lines deeper ; in ? only the 

 forewing are washed with rosy and the hindwing remain ochreous, with the lines 

 reddish. 



Palpi pale beneath, reddish above ; face whitish beneath, brown-red above ; 

 vertex and antennae whitish ; thorax and abdomen like wings ; but in the c? the 

 shoulders and base of patagia are grey, dark-speckled, like the costal streak ; 

 dorsum red-spotted.

?. Foreuing : pale lilac-grey, speckled with darker ; costa yellowish ochreous 

 with lilac-grey striae ; three pale dull olive-yellowish bands ; first, rather obscure,

 of costa to inner margin before anal angle, more wavy, insinnate beyond cell ; 

 some small pale patches along hindmargin ; marginal line dark lilac-grey ; fringe 

 olive-yellowish, slightly grey-cheipiered. 



Ilindwing : without basal line, otherwise similar. 



Underside much paler, the markings showing through. 



Face and jialjii dark brown ; vertex and shoulders pale ochreous ; thorax siud 

 abdomen like wings. 



c? dark livid grey, the lines narrower but more distinct owing to the darker
