spot between this and the upper streak ; on the secondaries 

 the marginal black spots are larger. 



Three specimens from Che-tou and two from Ta-chien-lu

Hob. Western China. 



Neolythria tandjrinaria. 



Abraxas tandjrinaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. xviii. p. 34. pi ii fig 23 

 (1893). 



Occurs not uncommonly at Chin-kou-ho, Wa-shan, Huang, 

 mu-chang, and Chang-yang : June and July. 



Among the specimens from Chin-kou-ho was an example 

 of the female, and as this sex has not been previously 

 described, I append a short description. 



Female. Yellow band, together with the black internal 

 border, on outer margin of primaries much narrower than in 

 the male ; the inner row of spots only represented by two or 

 three on the costal portion. On the secondaries the spots of 

 the inner row on outer margin are linear and almost touching 

 the outer ones. 



Bab. Western and Central China. 



Neolythria consimilaria, sp. n. 



Similar to A. tandjrinaria, Oberth., but the black border of 

 the yellow band on outer margin of primaries, which is rather 

 fulvous in tint, is deeply indented on costal area ; the black 

 spots forming the inner series are larger, especially the costal 

 one and that below it the two rows of black spots on outer 

 margin of secondaries are wider apart ; all the wings have a 

 distinct black discal spot. 



Expanse 30-32 millim. 



Several specimens (all males) from Wa-ssu-kow; examples 

 have also been received from Ta-chien-lu and Pu-tsu-fong : 

 June and July. 



Nab. Western China. 



Neolythria Oberthuri, sp. n. (PL VII. fig. 6.) 



Also similar to A. tandjrinaria, Oberth., but the outer 

 marginal band of primaries is not tapered, but of almost 

 uniform width from costa to inner margin ; the inner row of 

 black spots is free and does not unite with the black bordering 

 line at any point. On the secondaries the marginal series of 

 black spots are even wider apart than in A. consimilaria, and 

 there is a black dot on each nervule before the inner series ;
