Sikhim, 1,800 feet. The type of this was taken by me at light in 

 May at Punkabaree ; I obtained another in July ; these are the only 

 specimens I have seen. The type is in the British Museum. 

 288. P. sikkima, Moore. 



Sikhim. I have not seen this species ; it differs from all others of 

 the genus in the antennae being ciliated in the male. 



Pheosia is separated from Fentonia by Hampson, chiefly apparently 

 on the position of vein 7 of the fore wing ; Pheosia having 7 given off 

 further from the apex than 10, ana Fentonia having the same vein 

 arising nearer to the apex than 10. I have only two species of this 

 genus in my collection, namely, P. centristicta, Hampson, and 

 P. strigata, Moore (the latter from Kanara). Both these have vein 7 

 as in Fentonia. Pheosia then, as it at present stands, is only separable 

 from Fentonia by the fore wing being narrower and with the outer 

 margin crennlate instead of broad and evenly-curved, and by the palpi 

 beino- porrect instead of upturned. The palpi are so small in both 

 genera that this latter feature is difficult to recognise.

259a. F.ferrlfusa, n. sp. 



$ . Grey irrorated with fuscous scales ; thorax clothed with long deep 

 brown hairs; abdomen fuscous, whitish towards the extremity. Fore- 

 win o- with a dark streak from the base meeting a broad fuscous patch 

 below the median nervure at |th from the base ; an ante-medial 

 indistinct reddish-brown triangular mark from the costa to the median 

 nervure; a post-medial series of black specks on the veins, followed 

 by a reddish-brown waved band, broad and triangular towards the 

 costa narrowing to the outer angle ; a submarginal row of brownish 

 specks. Hindwing whitish, suffused with fuscous towards the apex 

 and inner margin. Underside of forewing grey, hindwing and abdomen 

 white. 



This belongs to section II of the genus, and the antennas and neura- 

 tion of the hindwing are similar to those of F. tenebrosa, Wlk.
