cies to be unknown to him. It is not found in the British Mu- 

 seum. In some respects it is closely allied to P. indusiata Mab. , 

 but totally distinct. 



8. P. (?) snbnotata sp. nov. ^. — Upperside of thorax and abdomen 

 fuscous; lowerside of thorax and abdomen fuscous, inclining to ochra- 

 ceous; lowerside of palpi whitish; legs fuscous. The primaries on the 

 upperside are dark brown. There is a small spot at the lower angle of 

 the cell at its end. There are three spots forming a median series, the 

 lower most white, subtnangular, and opaque, resting on the submedian 

 nerve about its middle. The second, which is the largest and subquad- 

 rate, is located just below the spot at the end of the cell. Above it is a 

 smaller subquadrate spot lying between the second and third median 

 jiiervules at their origin, hi addition there is a similar subquadrate spot 

 below the costa beyond the end of the cell midway between it and the 

 apex. The secondaries are dark brown, marked by a curved band of 

 semi-translucent yellowish spots located beyond the cell near the origin 

 of the median nervules. On the underside the primaries are brownish 

 fuscous. The translucent spots reappear on this side, but are less distinct. 

 The base is laved with ochraceous, as is also the outer margin near the 

 apex. The outer margin is ornamented by a series of dark spots form- 

 ing a regularly curved band from the apex to the second median nervule, 

 where they are lost in the darker ground color of the wing. These spots 

 are defined inwardly by pale yellowish hastate markings. There is a fine 

 marginal black line. The fringes are dark fuscous. The secondaries on 

 the lowerside are ochraceous, the middle area beyond the cell being trav- 

 ersed by a somewhat broad band of bright yellow spots running from the 

 costa to the first median nervule. There are four or five blackish spots 

 between this band and the base pupiled with pale ochraceous. There is 

 a regularly curved submarginal series of blackish spots defined inwardly 

 by paler markings. The margin and the fringes are as on the primaries. 

 Expanse 26 mm. 



This species probably does not belong to the genus Parnara, 

 though without a dissection its e.xact location cannot be absolutely 

 determined. It probably comes nearer the genus Osmodes, 

 though it does not belong to it, and may perhaps represent the 

 type of a new genus. 



GASTROCHiETA Mab. 



9. G. cybeates sp. nov. (^. — The upperside of the body is black. The 

 lowerside is grayish white. The antennae are marked with white at the 

 end of the club. The primaries on the upperside are black. There are 

 two elongated translucent white spots at the end of the cell very near to 

 each other, a median series of three moderately large translucent spots, 

 of which the lower spot resting on the submedian nerve is oblong, quad- 

 rate, silvery white, the second is subhastate with its point obtuse pointing
