shade : the fivst line is slightly indented below costa ; the 

 second is placed a little beyond the black discal spot and is 

 closely followed by the third; this last is edged outwardly 

 with whitish, and is nearer to the second on the inner margin 

 than on the costa; the fourth (subraarginal) is pale, preceded 

 by a dark brown cloud towards costa and also towards inner 

 margin. Secondaries have two wavy lines hardly traceable 

 towards costa but terminating near together on the middle of 

 abdominal margin ; there is a short diffuse bar near anal angle. 

 Fringes brownish, preceded by a black line. Under surface 

 brownish grey ; all the wings have a blackish discal spot and 

 indistinct wavy central line. 



Expanse, d 50, 2 50-56 millim. 



One male specimen and five females from Pu-tsu-fong, 



As the male is not in good condition, I have described 

 a female as the type ; but the sexes do not appear to differ in 

 markings.

Gnophos pnllata, Trcit. Schm. vi. p. 179 (18i'7). 



Pseudopanthera ptillata, Meyrick, Trans. Eiit. Soc. Lonl. 1892, p. 117. 



One male specimen, taken at How-kow in July, a])pears to 

 be referable to this species. 



Tlic wings are dark grey, tinged with brownish as far as 

 the second line on primaries and the central line on second- 

 aries. The under surface is also darker. In some respects 

 this specimen seems to agree with var. confertata^ Staud. 

 (Cat. p. 167) = var. a, Guen., from Styria. 



Gnophos minutaria^ sp. n. 



Male. — Basal two-thirds of all the wings ochreous grey,

 a whitish band ; discal spot whitish, surrounded with dark 

 grey. Fringes whitish grey, preceded by an interrupted black 

 line. Under surface p;ile greyish ; ]>rimaries suffused with 

 fuscous, traversed by an ill-defined pale band ; secondaries 

 have a curved dusky band.

 is less distinct.

One male specimen from Pu-tsu-fong and one female from 

 Moupin, July.
