Hydrelia distinctaria, sp. n. 
Whitish. Primaries traversed by five dark grey lines, the 
fourth double ; costa has a broad ochreous streak, increasing 
in width towards outer margin; there is a blackish-grey mark at 
the base of costa and five others beyond, from the third, fourth, 
and fifth of which the second, third, and fourth transverse lines 
commence; the costal half of the double fourth line is clouded 
with blackish grey, and there are two spots of the same colour 
towards costa beyond fifth line and one on costa just before 
apex; discal spot black. Secondaries have three dark grey 
transverse lines, the second double; discal dot black. Fringes 
silky, preceded by blackish-grey dots towards apex of pri- 
maries and about the middle of secondaries. Under surface 
whitish ; primaries have an elongate blackish patch at base 
and two irregular blackish bands beyond, extending from 
costa to second median nervule, whence they are continued as 
lines to inner margin: secondaries have lines of upper surface 
faintly reproduced.

Hydrelia punctilinearia, sp. n. 
Somewhat similar to H. recurvilineata, but the orange 
markings are more restricted, the transverse lines of primaries 
are more clearly defined, and all the wings have a distinct 
submarginal line, macular or interrupted. ‘The three lines on 
secondaries are finer, wider apart, and the two outer ones are 
dotted with black on the nervules. 
Expanse 32-34 millim.
