PHEOSIA, Hiilm. 

 Pheosia fasciata. (Plate CXXV. figs. 9, 10.) 

 riieosa (sic) fasciata, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 18S8, p. 401. 



cJ . Pale stramineous, sericeous : primaries darker thau secondaries, edged with dark red- 

 brown, interrupted on the costa and fringe; a narro\y dark hrowu dash in the coll, its apex 

 terminating on the second median branch; upper radial dark brown towards its base: secon-

 rupted band at basal fourth, a second oblique angular patch at the end of the cell, an oblique 

 subapieal streak continuous with a submarginal stripe and the inferior edges of the median 

 branches ; the veins, excepting where interrupted by the whitish bauds or patches, black ; 

 this colouring being expanded into a series of prominent dashes on the disc : secondaries with 

 a dusky border; fringe spotted and partly edged with dark brown; thorax cinereous, without

Dharmsala (6200 feet) . Larva feeds on cherry. 



The Rhhogramma inextricata of Moore is nearly allied to the getuis Callfenia, but has 

 much elongated palpi with naked terminal joint {Cal/cenia saga from Japan is probably 

 identical though slightly darker) : the genus may be called Euscotia- 



cymatophoridj:. 



HABROSYNE, Hdbn. 



Habrosyne fraterna. (Plate CXXV. fig. 11.) 



Habrosyno fraterna, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 406. 



Closely allied to H. derasa of Europe, slightly larger and duller in colouring : primaries 

 with the white subbasal costal patch (eoramencing the two ordinary divergent white lines) and 

 the grey patch below it as broad and prominent as in //. scripta of the United States ; 

 central area bronze-brown instead of ochraeeous; the parallel diseal lines dark brown and
