Expanse of wings j%- inch. 



Omei-slian, W. China. 



There are some examples in the B. M. mixed up with 

 A. 2^ukJie/Ia, Elwes, but it is nearer tlie Japanese form A.ar- 

 geritea, Butler ; the bands are coloured with a distinct tinge 

 of orange in them, not olive-green as in pulcheUa, and they 

 are not one half the width. 



Family Trifidae. 



Leucania Moorei, nov. nom. 

 Leucania abdommalis, Moore, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 338 (prseocc). 



Moolten, Shan States [Manders) ; Dharmsala {Hocking)-, 

 Port Blair, Andamans ( Wimherley) ; Khandala, Bombay 

 [Swinhoe] ; Bengal [Hamjson) ] Kliasia Hills {Hamilton). 



Nonagria abdominaiis, Walker, ix. p. 131 (1856), from 

 Australia, is a true Leucania^ therefore Moore's name must 

 fall. 



Family Thyrididse.

 with the costa streaked with white and black at intervals ; a 

 black mark at end of cell ; a black boot-shaped subapical

Milne Bay (Meek) ; two examples, type, iti B. M. 



In the B. M. Coll. this form is put with B. intimalls, 

 Moore, from Calcutta, as also is briinnealis, South, from 

 China, nitetior, Warren, from Ceylon, compunctalis^ Warren, 

 from the Khasia Hills; but 1 do not believe that such very 

 different- looking and different-sized moths can all belong to 

 one s])ecies because they are more or less alike on their 

 undersides ; besides the types cJ ? of intimalis, there arc 

 two specimens from Calcutta and one from Ceylon.
