290 Colonel C. Swlnlioc on 



There arc two examples in the B. ]\I. from Singapore under 

 Sylepta nigriscripta, \Varrenj Pyraustid Drawer 11, and one 

 from Sarawak, three from Sandakan^ and one from Singapore 

 in Drawer 27 with Phryganodes cntlwnaiis. 



Eiiyhjphis procopia.

(1782). 

 Neornia procopia, Ilmpsn. P. Z. S. 1808, p. 676. 



Fergusson Island ; two examples. 



There are two examples from New Guinea and one from 

 Fergusson Island in the B.^NI. Drawer 31. Cramer's tyj)e 

 came from Amboina, and his figure, though a little exaggerated 

 in colour, represents both in size and colour this insect, and 

 not the common Indian form which has heretofore been 

 called procopia ; the latter is a much smaller insect, and the 

 white basal space, especially in the hind wings, is much more 

 limited ; in the typical form it bulges out to more than half 

 the breadth of the wing. For the Indian form I propose the 

 name of fulsaUs, and make an example from the Khasia 

 Hills (where it is very common) the type. I have a long 

 series from many parts of I udia. 



Saroscelis earluUs, nov. 



J . Of a uniform dull and rather pale blackish-brown 

 colour above ; top of head and collar tinged with chestnut ; 

 anal tuft of abdomen ochreous grey ; body and legs below 

 brownish grey ; fore tarsi with black bai.ds ; hind tibise with 

 the upper hairs ochreous, the lower hairs black. Wings with 

 the transverse lines blackish, but indistinct : fore wings with 

 traces of a submarginal line; a spot in the cell, through 

 which runs the antemedial line ; a postmedial line, curving 

 slightly inwards below the costa, then well curved outwards 

 and suddenly bent inwards below the end of the cell, then 

 obliquely to the hinder margin a little beyond the middle; a 

 lunular mark at the end of the cell of both wings : hind 

 wings with a curved discal line, abruptly bent inwards below 

 the cell-mark ; cilia of both wings brown, Avith an ochreous 

 basal line. 



F]xpanse of wings 1 ^^ inch. 



N. Borneo; one example. 



There are three examples from Singapore in the B. M., 

 w ith Pliryganodes nicoalis, Walker, to which it is structurally 

 allied, but from which it is, in my opinion, quite distinct.
