" Alhow, October 1881 ; also taken at Kurrachee in November and 

 December ; a scarce Macaria there, as it is here, the one I am sending 

 you being the only one secured here." — G. S. 



137. Tephrina granitalis, sp. n. 



Greyish white, densely irrorated with smoky-grey striae ; the body 

 very dark ; a spot at the end of each cell and the external borders 

 of the wings dark grey; these borders are. rather broad and have a 

 regular straight inner edge ; the secondaries are much less densely 

 striated than the primaries, and therefore appear to be whiter : 

 under surface white, sparsely striated with grey ; wings with disco- 

 cellular spots and external border grey, the latter partly interrupted 

 by white streaks through their lower half Expanse of wings 

 30 mm. 



"Mhow, September 1881 ; another scarce Macaria, only two 

 having been taken." — C. S. 



138. Tephrina lithina, sp. n. 



Pale sandy stone-colour ; wings sparsely striated with dark brown ; 

 a brown discocellular spot with black-and-white centre on each wing ; 

 a disco-submarginal brown band, wider and darker on the secondaries 

 than on the primaries, and a marginal series of imperfect brown 

 dots : wings below with the markings decidedly redder and more 

 distinct than above. Expanse of wings 28 mm. 



"Kurrachee, July 1879; I have this also from Solun and from 

 Umballa, taken in iNIarch." — 0. S. 



139. Tephrina zebrina, sp. n.' 



Allied to T. strenuata from the Punjaub ; similar in form to 



^ Felder and Eogenbofer refer species of this group to Fidoiiia ; but I doubt 

 the possibility of separating them structurally from Tephrina.
