Obthocabeea bbunneiceps, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 23.) 



d 2 • Eesembles 0. sericea, Butler, from Japan, but larger, with 

 all the markings much more strongly expressed ; head, face, and 

 palpi all brown. 



Ifab. Sikkim. 



[I have this from Messrs. Gammie and Knyvett, taken in spring, 

 and one from Mr. Dudgeon marked February. Mr. Doherty took 

 it in the Karen Hills in March. It seems to occur at about 5000- 

 7000 feet. It is a very distinct, well-marked species. — H. J. E.] 



MiCEONiDiA (?) suBPtjNCTATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 11.) 



2 . Fore wings silky white ; costa speckled with brown striae ; 

 4 transverse pale olive lines ; the second, as usual, the broadest, in 

 the middle of the wing beyond the cell-spot, which is a distinct 

 blackish dash ; 4th line olive, parallel to huid margin, broader and 

 more distinct than iu simpJiciata ; 1st and 3rd very slender, the 

 oUve tints much interrupted, but marked on each vein by a black 

 dot ; the basal line preceded by 2 or 3 transverse dark strise ; a 

 strong black basal line before the fringes, distinctly interrupted on 

 the veins ; fringes tinged with olive. Hind wings the same, but 

 without the 1st line ; the other 3 meet towards the anal angle, 

 before which are 2 large black spots ; inner margin also pale olive. 

 Head and thorax white, tinged with pale olive ; abdomen entirely 

 pale olive. Underside white, with the costal striae and cell-spot 

 darker, the other markings showing through. 



Hah. Sikkim. In these examples the antennae are subserrate 

 and ciliated ; it is therefore probable that those of the J will be 

 found to be pectinated. 



[I took one specimen myself at Touglo and have two others 

 from the interior, all females. — H. J. E.~\ 



MiCEOlflDIA UNIPUNCTA, Sp. n. 



$ , Fore wings pure creamy white, with 4 straight pale olive- 

 ochreous streaks. Costa with a few irregularly disposed dark 

 striae. The first line is nearer the base than in simpliciata, Moore ; 

 the second, the broadest, is before the middle of the wing, and 

 includes the cell-spot, which is very faint and lies on the outside 

 edge of the fascia ; the 3rd is straight like the 2nd and not waved 

 as in simpliciata ; all these three run parallel to one another, 

 slightly inclined outwards ; the 4th band is narro\ver and parallel 

 to the hind margin, therefore inclined at a slight angle to the 

 3rd ; none of the 4 lines touches the costa ; a fine black line at 

 base of fringes, attenuated at the end of each vein. Hind wings 

 without 1st line ; 2nd and 3rd as in fore wings ; 4th, edged 

 distinctly with brown externally, runs from the extreme apex to 

 before the anal angle ; space beyond it to the hind margin whiter, 

 containing only 1 black spot above anal angle ; fringe-line very fine 

 and interrupted. Head, face, thorax, and abdomen silky white. 

 Underside all white, but with the markings of the upperside 

 showing through.
