And two unidentified species. 



The curvifascia of Felder has been identified by some authors as 

 identical with alysos, Moore ; however, this does not seem to be tlie 

 case, as in alysos there is an opaque white spot above the transparent 

 white band on the underside of the fore wing, which is wanting iu 

 typical Chinese specimens of curvifascia. This latter species is 

 therefore nearer to restricta, Moore, from which it may be distin- 

 guished by the lowest spot of the discal band being much indented ; 

 this, however, may be simply varietal, as the true restricta also 

 occurs in China, and the spot above referred to is frequently slightly 

 indented in Indian specimens of that species. 



Alysos, Moore, must sink as a synonym oi' feisfhamelii, Boisd., 

 of which there are typical specimens in the British Museum which 

 are absolutely inseparable from Indian specimens of afysos ; this 

 species can be readily identified by the costal opaque spot on the 

 underside of the fore wing. 



■ Ficulnea, l{ew.=siffnata, Druce, and to/a. Hew., are superficially 

 very like species of Notocrypta, but their neuration is entirely dif- 

 ferent, and, as already suggested by Mr. de Niceville, they require a 

 separate genus. 



Notocrypta is confined to Southern Asia.

Antennae : club moderate, with a short terminal crook. Palpi : 

 second and third joints porrect ; third joint minute, bluntly conical. 

 Fore wing : inner margin slightly longer than outer margin ; cell 

 less than two-thirds the length of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa 

 just before end of cell ; discocellulars subereet, the middle one 

 considerably the longer ; vein 5 much nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 

 close to end of cell ; vein 2 considerably nearer to base of wing than 

 to end of cell. Hind wing : outer margin even ; vein 7 immediately 

 before end of cell ; discocellulars and vein 5 very faint ; vein 3 

 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 about twice as far from base 

 of wing as from end of cell ; lower margin of cell inconspicuously
