426 Mr. W. Warren on new 



Tyspanodes hypsalis, sp. n. 



Fore wing as in T. flaviventer ; hind wing blackish, with 

 centre only broadly whitish ochreous ; abdomen whitish 

 ochreous ; fringes glossy cinereous. 



Expanse of wings 26-28 millim. 



Two examples from North China. One of these bears a 

 label in Walker's handwriting, " hypsalis,^ but the descrip- 

 tion, as far as T have been able to ascertain, was never 

 published. 



Oromena, Moore. 

 Type Briarda relinquenda, Wlk. xv. p. 1802. 



Oromena commutanda, Warr. 



In the Descr. Lep. Coll. Alk. ii. p. 160, Mr. Moore 

 describes as reh'nquenda, W^lk., a species which is certainly

 must therefore be renamed. I propose for it the name commu- 

 tanda.

Neuration peculiar ; median vein of fore wing, not very far 

 from the base, slightly deflected towards the inner margin ; 

 from the bend the first median nervule runs straight to the 

 hind margin parallel to the submedian, the second and third 

 and the lower radial starting at about equal distances from 

 one another ; no discocellular; subcostal vein running quite 

 close to the costal, being curved upwards out of its usual
