354 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 



on the disk of primaries replaced by snow-white ones ; the 

 primaries and thorax, seen as a whole, are distinctly ash- 

 coloured instead of greenish brown. Expanse of wings 

 2 inches. 



This species is of the same general tint as Phalera sigmata ; 

 but the body is browner ; it and " Heterocampa " sikkima are 

 decidedly best placed in Peridea } with which they appear to 

 agree in all essential points of structure. 



Paleca, n. gen. 



Allied to Cleapa, but with the palpi nearly twice as large 

 (giving the genus quite a Deltoid character), and with the 

 antenna? less widely pectinated, with the apical fourth simple ; 

 body slightly more slender and decidedly longer. Type P. 

 rujescens. 



15. Paleca rufescens, n. sp. (no. 1067). 



Primaries above clay-coloured, shining ; the basal and 

 external thirds dusky and edged with a pale line, so that the 

 central third forms a broad belt, expanding upon the costa, 

 and enclosing a blackish discocellular spot : secondaries pale 

 shining brown, the external half being distinctly more dusky 

 with defined inner edge : thorax clay-coloured, abdomen pale 

 brown. Under surface pale cupreous brown, shining ; wings 

 with indications of a blackish discal line and with black 

 discocellular spots. Expanse of wings 1 inch 3 lines. 



Ingueidia, n. gen. 



Allied to Ingura (I. recurrens), but the wings broader, the 

 secondaries altogether larger ; antenna? simple, palpi slightly 

 more slender ; hind legs quite as strongly quadrispinose, but 

 apparently rather less densely hairy ; pectus covered with 

 long coarse hairs. Type /. abrostolina. 



16. Inguridia abrostolina, n. sp. (no. 782). 



Dark brown, primaries above clouded with greyish ; the 

 discoidal spots and a large rounded spot below the cell indi- 

 cated by black outlines, and enclosed by two transverse black 

 lines, which indicate the central belt ; a pale grey submar- 

 ginal line and a black marginal line formed of confluent 

 lunated spots ; head and thorax pale and silvery, abdomen 

 dark greyish brown. Under surface dark brown, shining j 

 wings with a darker discal line and pale fringe ; the fringe of 

 secondaries almost wholly white. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 1 line.
