scarcely irregular ; no defined transverse bands below the 

 ocellus, the latter with dull claj-coloured zone ; submarginal 

 macular band not undulated, each spot lunate ; bands of secon- 

 daries much wider apart, less strongly defined, more continuous; 

 underside of wings greyer, darker ; discal series of white 

 spots smaller, those towards costa of primaries placed more 

 obliquely ; outer series obsolete. Expanse of wings 5 inches 

 8 lines. 



A very distinct and well-marked species. Unfortunately 

 only one example Avas sent, the secondaries of which are some- 

 what damaged. 



Family Ophiusidae. 



Genus Ophisma, Guenee. 



37. OpMsma nmminia. 

 Phaltena-Nuctua unwiinia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 207. fig. F (1782). 



Family Spilomelidae. 

 Genus Phalangiodes, Hubner. 

 38. Phalangiodes, n. sp. (near to P. neptalis). 

 The single example is in poor condition, being much rubbed. 



Family Hyponomeutidae. 

 Genus Atteva, Walker. 



39. Atteva niviguttella. 



Corinea niviguttella (part.), Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xxviii. p. 542. n. 1 

 (1863). 



This species was confounded with examples of Atteva nivei- 

 gutta, placed by Walker among the Lithosiides. The genus 

 seems to be most nearly allied to Cydosta and Eggyna.
