on costa, arid enclosing a patch of the ground-colour at each 

 end; a rather quadrate patch on costa before apex and a 

 similar one on outer margin below apex, united at opposed 

 angles ; from the inner edge of the lower patch a straight 

 narrow fascia descends to inner angle, but is only clearly 

 defined below the second median nervule ; discal spot black. 

 Secondaries white, freckled with pale grey ; discal spot 

 blackish ; central and submarginal fascise, the former hardly 

 darker than the freckling, the latter represented by a blackish 

 spot on costa, another about the middle, and a short blackish 

 bar above anal angle. Fringes pale grey-brown, preceded on 

 primaries by a row of black dots, becoming lunular towards 

 inner angle, and on secondaries by a thin brownish line. 

 Under surface : primaries fuscous grey, tinged with ochreous 

 on costa, markings of upperside faintly reproduced ; second- 

 aries whitish, with the markings as above, but the central 

 fascia is rather darker and the submarginal less distinctly 

 indicated. 



Expanse 40-42 millim. 



Two male specimens from Pu-tsu-fong and one from Oinei- 

 shan : July.

Allied to P. curvaria, but it differs in size and colour and 

 also in the form of the fascia. 



Phyllabraxas exsoletaria^ sp. n. 



Primaries whitish grey, speckled with black and suffused 

 with smoky grey at the base of the wing and on outer mar- 

 ginal area ; central fascia broad, slightly olivaceous, its inner 

 edge black and undulated and its outer edge black and 

 obtusely angled below costa ; before the black discal spot 

 there is a short black line from the costa, this is connected 

 by a blackish suffusion with the external edge of fascia, thus 

 forming a more or less quadrate patch on the outer costal 

 portion of the fascia ; the short line referred to has a dusky 

 continuation to the inner margin, but it is not clearly defined ; 

 beyond the angle of fascia there are some black dots, and 

 some other dots are placed towards inner margin and parallel 

 with edge of fascia; submarginal line whitish, interrupted. 

 Secondaries rather smoky white, with a black discal spot and 

 indications of a central line. Fringes grey, preceded on the 

 primaries by black dots between the nervules. Under surface 

 smoky grey ; basal area of primaries limited by a pale undu- 

 lated and exteriorly diffuse band ; secondaries greyish, 

 speckled with darker ; discal spot black ; there is another
