fainter submarginal deutated line curving from the apex of wings to 

 the outer margin ; a series of black linear marks along the outer 

 margin ; three tufts of raised black scales, one forming a basal dash, 

 the second representing the orbicular stigma, and the third, which is 

 edged with whitish, the reniforin stigma. Secondaries fuscous brown, 

 darker towards the margins. Head and palpi greyish brown, collar 

 and anteimae light brown, thorax greyish brown, abdomen fuscous 

 brown. Under surface pale fuscous grey, darker towards tiie margins, 

 fringes checkered with darker, four black dots along the costa

Var. UNicoLOR. (Plate XXXII. fig. 10 a.) 



Darker than the type and without any trace of the central fascia, 

 the only markings noticeable being the basal dash and the sub- 

 marginal bands. 



The type may be compared with P. albidisca, Moore (P. Z. S. 

 1888, p. 299), from which it differs in the absence of any greenish 

 tinge, different angulations of transverse lines, and larger size. 



A long series in coll. Pryer witliout locality. 



LiTHOsiA afkineola, Brcm. 

 notodonta trepida. 



Cnethocampa processionea, L. 



These species are recorded from Japan by Motschulsky, but have 

 not been subsequently received from there. 



JioMBYx flaveola, Motsch. 



BOMBYX FUSCATA, MotSch. 



Drepanulides ? RUFULus, Motsch. 



I have been unable to identify these species; they may possibly 

 have been redescribed subsequently.
