Hydrelia distinctaria, sp. n. 



Whitish. Primaries traversed by five dark grey lines, the 

 fourth double ; costa has a broad ochreous streak, increasing 

 in width towards outer margin; there is a blackish-grey mark at 

 the base of costa and five others beyond, from the third, fourth, 

 and fifth of which the second, third, and fourth transverse lines 

 commence ; the costal half of the double fourth line is clouded 

 with blackish grey, and there are two spots of the same colour 

 towards costa beyond fifth line and one on costa just before 

 apex ; discal spot black. Secondaries have three dark grey 

 transverse lines, the second double ; discal dot black. Fringes 

 silky, preceded by blackish-grey dots towards apex of pri- 

 maries and about the middle of secondaries. Under surface 

 whitish ; primaries have an elongate blackish patch at base 

 and two irregular blackish bands beyond, extending from 

 costa to second median nervule, whence they are continued as 

 lines to inner margin : secondaries have lines of upper surface 

 faintly reproduced. 



Expanse 32 millim. 



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

 shan : June. 



Hob. Western China. 



Hydrelia recur vilineata. 



Agnibesa recurvilineata, Moore, Lep. Atk. p. 256 (1887). 

 Hydrelia recurvilineata, Hampson, Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 415 

 (1895). 



I received a male specimen from Omei-shan, taken in July, 

 and one from Chang-yang, taken in August. 



Distribution. Sikhim (Hampson} ; Central and Western 

 China. 



Hydrelia punctilinearia, sp. n. 



Somewhat similar to H. recur vilineata , but the orange 

 markings are more restricted, the transverse lines of primaries 

 are more clearly defined, and all the wings have a distinct 

 submarginal line, macular or interrupted. The three lines on 

 secondaries are finer, wider apart, and the two outer ones are 

 dotted with black on the nervules. 



Expanse 32-34 millim. 



One male specimen from Chow-pin-sa, taken in June, and 

 one from Kia-ting-fu, taken in July. 



Hob. Western China.
