Genera and Species of Pyraliclse. 499 



Two females from S. Paolo, the same size as the two 

 North-American species statalis and olivalis, Grote. 



Hypsopygia, Hiib. 

 Type Hypsopygia glaucinah's, Linn. (Pyralis). 



Hypsopygia se?ncea } sp. n. 



Fore wing pale fuscous, glossy, rather transparent ; the 

 costa reddish brown to the apex, dotted between the two 

 transverse lines with yellowish ; these likewise are reddish 

 brown, the first slightly curved outwards, the second straight, 

 followed immediately by a paler space, which scarcely forms 

 a pale line; a red-brown cellular dot; fringes unicolorous, 

 with a very fine basal line. Hind wing paler, silky grey, 

 with both lines reproduced, grey-brown, nearly meeting on 

 the inner margin. Abdomen concolorous with hind wing, 

 head and thorax with fore wing ; antennas with very fine 

 long ciliations ; tegulas prolonged. Underside of body 

 reddish fuscous : underside of wings darker than upper ; 

 with the outer line distinct in both, followed by a paler space. 



One male, Darjiling. 



Resembles glaucinalis in size, but smoother and more silky. 



Hypsopygia japonica, sp. n. 



Akin to Hypsopygia placens, Butler, also from Japan, but of 

 quite a different colour ; Avhereas that species is bright pale 

 pink, with the markings and fringes bright yellow, the present 

 species is dull pinkish cinereous, so much suffused with grey 

 as almost to lose all the pink tinge ; the two curved lines 

 just paler, much nearer to one another on both wings, and 

 with the intermediate space darker ; fringes dull yellow, with 

 the basal line and extreme hind margin dull reddish ; head, 

 thorax, and abdomen concolorous. Underside dull grey, 

 with a reddish tint ; the costal dots and base of the fascias 

 showing paler. Hind wing with a single central curved 

 dark line, edged externally with paler.
