1893,] SFECIEa OF MOTHS FROM INDIA. 391 



wings clear ochreous or ochreous white, with larger flecks of 

 darker and with the central spot and middle band plain. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen concolorous with fore wings. Underside of 

 abdomen like hind wings. 



Expanse of Avings, $ 52 miUim., d 48 millim. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



A smaller and paler species than cmnmixta, distinguished by 

 having the fringes of the hind wings chequered as in the fore 

 wings, and by the silvery lustre of the pale spots. 



[Not unconnuon on the Nepal frontier from 10,000 to 12,000 

 feet, where I took it in June and July. — H. J. E.'] 



Paeicteeodes (?) TioLACEA, sp. n. (Plate XXX. fig. 12.) 



5 . Fore wings olive-tawny, thickly dusted with dark brown atoms, 

 with 4 transverse black-brown bauds, all more or less geminated, 

 the 1st and 3rd evidently so ; the second includes the dark central 

 spot ; the 4th or submarginal consists of dark wedge-shaped 

 blotches lying between the veins, each followed by a brighter, pale 

 spot ; a dark apical and subapical blotch beyond ; fringes chequered 

 brown or pale tawny, the dark spaces twice as broad as the lighter ; 

 a row of roundish black spots before the basal line. The transverse 

 dark fasciae are interrupted across the 3 submedian nervules, along 

 which a distinctly clearer tawny patch runs from near the base to 

 the hind margin. When viewed obliquely, the intervals between 

 the lines and the paler spaces which divide their geminations are 

 seen to be purplish violet. Hind wings dirty grey, with only a faint 

 trace of central spot, and still fainter of a curved fascia. 

 Underside : fore wings blurred cinereous, with only the extreme 

 costa ochreous, spotted with darker ; hind wings clear pale 

 ochreous, thickly dusted with cinereous, with distinct blackish 

 central spot and central fascia, this latter decidedly angulated in 

 the middle. Head, thorax, and abdomen dark, mottled brown and 

 tawny ; the abdomen with less mixture of dark than the head. 



Expanse of wings 38 millim. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Possibly the $ of Micrabraxas subolivacea described later on, 



[Two specimens taken at Sundukpho at about 12,000 feet by me 

 in July ; others from native collectors. — H. J. E.'] 



Peecnia submissa, sp. n. 



c? . Wings greyish white, \\'ith a slight pinkish tinge ; spots as 

 in belluaria, but reduced in size, and rounder, more dot-like ; in the 

 submarginal row the 3rd and 4th from the costa are nearer each 

 other than each is to the one above and below ; underside the same ; 

 abdomen white, with two black spots on each segment. 



Expanse of wings 44 millim.
