Eastern and Australian Lepidoptera. 627 



Tristrnphis veneris, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. xvii. p. 200, pi. ix. 

 tig. 34 (188:5) ; Swinhoe, Cat. Het. Mus. Oxon. ii. p. 230 (1900). 



Jaintia Hills ; one example. 



The type from Yokohama is iu the B.M. I have it also 

 from the same place and from Asama Yama. It is not 

 recorded by Hampson. 



Pogonopygia nigralbata. 



Pogonopygia nigralbata, WaiTen, Nov. Zool. i. p. 681 (1894) ; Hnipsu. 

 Moths India, iii. p. 619 (1895). 



Jaintia Hills ; one example. 



I have it also £i om Japan. There is no specific difference 

 between the Japanese and Indian example, and Sir George 

 Hampson was therefore wrong in doubting the Tring locali- 

 ties. Warren quotes Japan, Central China (many examples), 

 and Khasia Hills (two examples) as his localities, but lie 

 does not state the locality of the specimen on which he bases 

 his type. 



Leptesthes circumflex aria. 



Ennomos cireumjlexaria, Kollar, Hiigel's Kasch. iv. p. 485 (1842). 



Lagyra inegaspila, Moore, P. Z. S. 1867, p. 616. 



Hyposidra {Leptesthes) megaspila, Hmpsn. Moths India, iii. p. 215 



(1895). 



KoUar's type came from Massuri ; Moore's type from 

 Bengal is in the B.M. I have it from the Khasia Hills. 

 L. circumflexaria is not mentioned by Hampson. 



Medasina pallidimargo, nov. 



? . Frons and head white ; body and wings grey, thickly 

 irrotated with dark brown : fore wings with an outwardly 

 curved, antemedial, black band, bluntly angled below the 

 costa, and again below the cell, where it is bent in-wards and 

 then straight to the hinder margin, one fourth from base, 

 and includes a black spot inside the cell ; a straight black 

 band from the middle of the costa to a black spot at the end 

 of the cell ; two short, black, costal bands between this and 

 the apex, at equal distances apart, the last being the termi- 

 nation of an irregular band which limits the white outer 

 marginal space, this limitation is bent inwards on vein 3 and 

 then is continued in a somewhat sinuous form to the hinder 

 margin near the hinder angle ; in some examples there is a 

 discal lunular black line from the penultimate costal baud 

 which is continued across the hind wing a little beyond the
