350 MB. W. WAREEIf ON NEW GENERA AND [Apr. 18, 



[I have four specimens of this distinct species taken by native 

 collectors on the Nepal frontier at 7000-8000 feet.— if. J. E.'\ 



Perissolophia, gen. nov. 



Akin to r«-23?i«,H.-S., in having the abdominal segments armed 

 with erect tufts of hair, and with one dense and extraordinarily 

 long one behind the thorax ; differing from all allied genera in 

 the shape of the wings ; fore wings longer in proportion, not so 

 ti'iangular, with the hind margin curved and denticulated ; hind 

 wings not prolonged in the du-ection of the body, with rounded 

 and denticulate hind margin ; densely clothed with long hairs 

 towards the base. Antennas strongly pectinated nearly to the tip, 

 the pectinations being longer than in Terpna ; palpi with 2nd 

 joint hairy beneath ; 3rd joint, bluntly rounded, porrected in 

 front ; abdomen beneath and all femora hairy. 



Type, P. subrosea, sp. n. 



Perissolophia subrosea, sp. n. 



cJ . Pore wings dull olive-green, suffused with pink and speckled 

 with pnrplish atoms ; lines indistinct, purplish ; 1st oblique, irre- 

 gularly angular ; 2nd running obliquely outwards towards the 

 centre of the hind margin, then irregularly dentate, parallel to it ; 

 subraarginal line faintly indicated by three white arrow-heads below 

 the costa ; an oblique blackish dash at the end of the cell. Hind 

 wing towards the base pinkish ochreous ; costal half wholly pink; 

 hind margin greenisli, both flecked with purple. Head and thorax 

 dull olive-green, like the fore wing ; abdomen more ochreous, like 

 the hind wing. Underside shining ochreous, strongly suffused 

 with pinkish, especially along the costa; abdomen beneath and 

 femora of all the legs beset with thick ochreous hairs. 



Expanse of wings 46 millim. 



[Several specimens of this very distinct species were taken by 

 native collectors in May and June in the interior of Sikkim. — 

 M. J. E.] 



Actenochroma, gen. nov. 



Distinguished from Hi/jiochroma, Guen., by the simple antennas 

 of the d . 



Type, A. muscicoloraria, Wlk. {Hyjyochroma), 



Actenochroma earinosa, sp. n. . 



S . ^Resembles A. viridaria, Moore, but a little larger and longer- 

 winged ; dull cinereous green, varied with whitish and pale grey; 

 all the markings much as in viridaria, but without the pink spots 

 so conspicuous in that species. Underside with only a very faint 

 indication of a darker submarginal band, but with a distinct, large 

 blackish central spot on eaqh wing. 



[A single S specimers, taken in Lahoul, North-west Himalaj^as, 

 at 12,300 feet, on Sept. 9, by Capt. Grahame Young. It seems a 

 distinct species. — H.J. E.']
