682 MR. A. G. BUTLKR ON [DcC. 14, 



coloured at base, remainder of costal margin cupreous ; two trans- 

 verse widely separated grey lines dividing the wing into three nearly 

 equal parts, the inner line slightly angulated ; fringe traversed by a 

 grey line and tipped with grey : secondaries crossed near the middle 

 by two angulated, arched, subparallel grey lines ; fringe traversed by 

 a very pale grey line. Wings below golden or sandy yellow, glossy, 

 with lines as above, the secondaries paler excepting at the outer 

 border ; body below bright sandy yellow. Expanse of wings 1 1 

 lines. 



One rather ragged specimen. 



Tliis species seems to be allied to the " Asopia decoloralis" of 

 Lederer (Wien. ent. Monatschr. vii. pi. 6. fig. 10). 



104. Pyralis, sp. 



Two rubbed examples, too much worn for identification ; the 

 species seems allied to P. farinalis. 



105. DOTHTHA THERMUSALIS. 



Pjiralisl thermusalis, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xvii. p. 311 (1859). 

 Two examples. 



It is doubtful whether the gen\is Doththa can be distinguished 

 from Endotricha (Asopiidse). 



Ennychiid^. 



1 06. Pyrausta absistalis. 



Pijrausta absistalis, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xvii. p. 311 (1859). 



One example with rather larger and darker spots than in the 

 type, in which respect it approaches ^' Asopia lydmlis" of Walker, 

 from jVIoreton Bay, Australia, which is a Pijrausta closely allied to 

 P. absistalis. 



AsOPIIDjE. 



107. Samea dives, sp. n. 



Bright ochre-yellow. Wings above mottled and striped towards 

 the base with burnt-sienna ; a very irregular waved and crenulated 

 slender blaciv discal line ; a rather broad sericeous plum-coloured 

 external border, sinuated and black-edged internally ; fringe short, 

 dark brown : primaries with an irregularly notclied black-edged 

 plum-coloured and burnt-sienna reniform spot : body spotted at 

 the sides with burnt-sienna, and with whitish hinder margins to the 

 abdominal segments. Wings below altogether paler than above, the 

 markings indistinct; body below creamy white. Expanse of wings 

 10 lines. 



One specimen : it is brighter in colour than any species known 

 to me. 



108. ASOPIA RUFIPICTA, sp. n. 



Bright straw-yellow, with the lines and spots arranged almost 

 exactly as in A. vulgalis of Guenee, but rose-coloured instead of
