the interno-median area crossed hj three oonvergeut dark brown 

 lines between the extrabasdar and the widely sinnated oblique 

 discal line ; disc crossed by five or six indistinct nndulated 

 parallel g-reyish lines ; fringe reddish broAvn ; secondaries crossed 

 by nine or ten undulated parallel lines, the second, fourth and 

 seventh distinct, the last mentioned black with white external 

 edge ; veins on the disc Avhite dotted with black ; a slender 

 undulated black marginal line ; fringe reddish-brown ; collar and 

 several interrupted lines across the abdomen black ; primaries 

 lielow distinctly darker and more lakey in tint than P. f/ohiiita ;

G7. Phibalapteryx anguligera n. sp. (No. S4). 



9 More sandy in coloration than P. gohiata, with a distinct 

 oblique olivaceoixs brown central belt, limited by the discal 

 blackish line, which is widely zigzag, but diverging from this 

 line above the lower radial, whence it runs transversely but 

 irregularly to the costal margin; a large dusky discocellular 

 spot; veins on the disc white dotted with black as usual; secon- 

 daries with the margin rather more strongly dentated than in 

 P. gobiata, the inner blackish line represented by a grey band; 

 outer border limited by a dusky line ; a slender black marginal 

 line; primaries below with a lakey tint; the discocellular dot 

 black; a transverse irregular discal line ansAvering to that of 

 the upper surface ; secondaries pale sandy-whitish, the basal 

 half crossed by five dusky lines ; disc crossed by a darker 

 sandy nebula. Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines.

Phibalapteryx <i)ignligera $ ? (No. lOU). In this form, which 

 I take to be the male of the preceding, the markings of the 

 primaries are Avell-defined but do not form a belt as in the 

 female, the under surface of these Avings is dull rose-red ; 

 the secondaries are smaller and more strongly dentated than in 

 the female, and on the under surface are marked with a discal 

 series of black dots; this species bears considerable resemblance 

 to the European P. tersata upon the upper surface, but differs 

 in its dentated secondaries. 



(38. Phibalapteryx riviilaris, n. sp. (Nos. 45 & 5U). 

 Allied to P. verriciila.ta of Felder, but smaller, more sandy
