MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF MALACCA. 



Family LIPARIDiE. 



Birnara, n. gen. 



Allied to Pantana: wings rounded, semitransparent ; costal nervure of primaries 

 terminating above the end of the cell ; subcostal with four branches, the third and fourth 

 forming a fork to apex ; radials emitted near together from the upper part of the cell ; 

 discocellulars zigzag ; median nervure with four branches, the third and fourth emitted 

 near together : secondaries pyriform, costal nervure extending to apex ; subcostal emitting 

 two branches from a short footstalk ; radial forming a fourth branch of the median ; 

 discocellulars in an oblique slightly angulated line. Type B. nubila, n. sp. 



1. Birnara nubila, n. sp. Primaries smoky grey, the veins white, base ochreous ; 

 secondaries greyish or sordid white ; body ochreous, antennae brown. Wings below pale 

 grey, becoming smoky grey towards the outer margin ; body ochreous. Expanse of wings 

 2 inches 1 line. ? , Malacca. Allied to Pcmtana Ucolor from China, which, with Moria 

 marginalia and Genusa disci/era, may be referred to this genus. 



Genus Kettelia, n. gen. 

 Wings semihyaline, broad: primaries subtriangular ; costal nervure extending to 

 beyond the end of the cell ; subcostal emitting five branches, the first branch emitted 

 before the end of the cell, the second some distance beyond the end, immediately beyond 

 which the vein forks, the upper ray proceeding to near apex, and then forking again, 

 the lower ray simple ; upper radial emitted from the upper part of the discocellular 

 line (which is zigzag) ; lower radial forming a fourth median branch : secondaries pyri- 

 form ; costal nervure proceeding to apex ; subcostal emitting two branches from the 

 superior extremity of the cell ; radial emitted from the inferior extremity of the cell on 

 a level with the third median ; upper discocellular acutely angular, its lower portion 

 twice as long as its upper, the lower extremity of the cell is consequently greatly in 

 advance of the upper : body slender ; antennae rather short, broadly pectinated. Type 

 K. Lowii. 



1. Kettelia Lowii, n. sp. Semitransparent white, the borders and veins opaque ; a 

 pale brown straight line from the costa to the external angle of primaries, and from 

 the apex to the anal angle of secondaries ; body white ; palpi head, back of tegulse, 

 base of primaries, sides of abdomen (more or less), and the greater portion of the legs 

 ochreous yellow ; antennae pale brown. Expanse of wings 2 inches 5 lines. <S , Malacca ; 

 Sarawak (Low). 



Our Malacca example being rubbed, I have taken as my type one of the three spe- 

 cimens kindly presented to the Collection by Mr. Low. The genus is allied to Penora. 



Genus Orgyia, Ochsenheimer. 

 1. Orgyia turbata, n. sp. Primaries ochreous, densely irrorated with ferruginous ; 

 the apex, a spot near external angle, and an ill-defined subbasal spot bright golden 

 yellow; subapical area red-brown; two transverse sinuated blackish lines, widely
