Lepidoptera from the Khasia Hills. 3GI 



much paler than on the upperside, with the inner areas of 

 both wings suffused with brown. 



Expanse of wings, (J 2, ? 2^ d inches. 



Shillong. One pair. 



c?. Antenna? with short bristles, as in P. pallida, Butler, 

 from Japan, to which this species is allied, but from which it 

 is perfectly distinct. I have a fine series of the Japanese 

 species, which is uniformly much smaller, differently coloured, 

 and almost free from any markings. 



The Pydna notata, Swinh., which Hampson has sunk as a 

 synonym of P. pallida ( l Moths,' i. p. 140), Mr. Warren has 

 pointed out to me, though superficially like a Pydna, is a 

 Crambite, and not a Notodont. 



Pydna crenelata, sp. n. 



£ . Pale brownish ochreous : fore wings suffused with 

 brownish on the lower half; a darker brown shade from the 

 cell to the outer margin, witli a short brown streak at the 

 apex ; black spots on the upper portions of the wings, three 

 or four at the base, a group before the middle, with a large 

 spot below the median vein, a largish spot at end of cell, and 

 a group in the upper discal portion ; some marginal black 

 points: hind wings uniform pale brown, unmarked; cilia 

 greyish ochreous. Underside pale greyish ochreous; both 

 wings suffused with brown in their inner portions and some 

 black marginal dots on fore wings below the apex ; legs 

 marked with black stripes. 



Expanse of wings 1 T 8 inch. 



Cherra Punji. One example. 



Antennae with short bristles. 



LymantriidaB. 

 Pantana luteiceps, sp. n. 



£ . Antennae, body, and wings above dull black : fore 

 wings with a whitish spot at the upper end of the cell, crown- 

 ing a large whitish space on the lower half of the wing, 

 including the lower half of the cell, leaving the outer and 

 hinder margins of the ground-colour of the wings : hind wings 

 uniformly black, without markings. Frons, palpi, thorax, 

 and abdomen beneath luteous ; legs also luteous ; wings 

 beneath coloured as above. 



Expanse of wings 1-jV inch. 



Cherra Punji. Two examples. 



Of the same dull black colour as P. albifascia, Walker, but 

 much smaller and very distinct.
