PENICILLAEIA.— ANOMIS. 71 



Penicillaria maculata. (Plate CXXX. fig. 5.) 



Nearest to P. jocosutrix, with a somcnliat similarlj' formed central belt : basal third of 

 primaries with the inucr half testaceous and the outer half dark choeolatc-brown, bounded 

 by a white line; beyond this is a tapering purplish band from inner margin, bounded exter- 

 nally by an angular diffused testaceous band traversed by two ill-defined blackish lines; the 

 central belt is bronze-brown, shading into purple on the costa and slate-grey towards the 

 inner margin ; it encloses the "orbicular" spot, wliieh is purple and almost triangular, and 

 from above which a longitudinal white line runs outwards to the outer edge of the belt ; the 

 external portion of the belt is also clouded with black and bounded by two irregular parallel 

 elbowed white lines enclosing a stripe of brown and grey; apical area purplish l)rown witii 

 cupreous reflections, crossed by a slender oblique white line ; centre of external area pale 

 olivaceous brown, enclosing a conspicuous semicircular black spot below the elbow of the 

 central belt; inferior half of external area pearl-grey internally, purplish brown externally, 

 divided by a white line; a marginal series of depressed pale-edged dusky luiudes; fringe 

 purplish brown : secondaries nearly as in P . jocosatrix , but with two conspicuous subanal 

 white dashes. Body and under surface as in P. jucosatrix. Expanse of wings 31 millim. 



Dharmsala. 



PLITSIID.E. 



PLUSIA, Ochs. 

 Plusia hebetata. (Plate CXXXI. fig. 1.) 



Kearly allied to P. u<jrivmmu = P. inchoata, but the primaries and thorax of a rosy- 

 jmrplish colour, the foi'mer with paler olivaceous instead of blackish and grey diffused bands, 

 and with the two discal lines sharply defined, the inner one very dark. The under surface of 

 all the wings with a bright golden-cupreous lustre, and with no dusky clouding between the 

 discal lines. Expanse of wings 42 millim. 



Kiihi. 



Three examples were obtained. A Japanese insect hitherto identified ^^ith P. incfiouta 

 is a large example of this species ; but P. agrumma occurs also in Japan. The almost black 

 discal line across tbe primaries and the different coloiation icadily separate the two species. 



GONOPTEEID^E. 



ANOMIS, Hiibn. 

 Anornis figlina. (Plate CXXXI. fig. 2.) 

 Primaries dull earthy red, clouded with purplish grey ; a blackish oval subbasal patch
