1893.] SPECIES OF MOTHS FROM rtTDlA. 399 



wings and end on the inner margin of hind wings marked by minute 

 white dots, the latter always conspicuous ; hind margin of fore 

 wing below apex occupied by a diffuse bronzy olive suffusion. 

 Underside purplish grey, with the middle and 2nd lines, the discal 

 spots, and a shade following darker. 



Expanse of wings, $ 56 milhm., J 48 millim. 



The largest species of the genus. 



Hah. Sikkim. 



[Taken by Moller in March and May, in the low valleys, where 

 it seems a rare species. — H. J. E,'] 



FaSCBLLIKA IjJfOEIfATA, sp. n. 



S . Fore wings dull olive-brown, shaded mth dark brown beyond 

 the 3rd line, and dusted sparsely with dark brown striae towards 

 the base and inner margin ; 1st line dark brown, obliquely sinu- 

 ous, with some pearly silvery scales, which are plainest on the inner 

 margin and on the veins ; 2nd line thick, sinuous, running in the 

 main parallel to the 1st line, and to the hind margin ; an indis- 

 tinct, oblique brown blotch from the costa beyond the origin of 

 the 1st line runs to meet the 2nd line below the costa ; 3rd Una 

 brown, sinuous, apparently double, with a pearly silvery thread up 

 the centre, consisting of a series of curves, concave basewards 

 between the veins ; the line forms a sinus inwards at the centre, 

 and outwards below the costa, before which it is recurved again 

 basewards, and is followed on the costa by a sUvery blotch ; the 

 Line is followed on the inner margin by a patch of silvery scales, 

 ajid some indistinct teeth of the same colour can be made out in 

 the dark submarginal space ; costal space between 2nd and 3rd 

 lines dull tawny. Hind wings thickly beset with dark transverse 

 striae at the base, with a nearly straight double brown sUvery- 

 centred middle line, and a less distinct denticulated submarginal 

 line. Head, thorax, aud abdomen above dark ohve-brown. 

 Underside bright fulvous ; the basal half of the costa paler ; the 

 hind margin cinereous ; 2ud Hne deep fulvous from costa halfway 

 across the wing ; 3rd line marked by a diffuse edging of pearly 

 scales in the upper half, by a fine silvery line in the lower. Hind 

 wings with 2 curved red-brown lines, which do not approximate. 

 Underside of abdomen and thorax fulvous. 



Expanse of wings 36 millim. 



Hah. Sikkim. 



Akin to P. cJironmtaria, distinguished by the absence of white 

 spots, and the presence of the dull tawny patch below the costa 

 towards the apex. The antennae are much more densely and 

 lengthily ciliated than they usually are in this genus. 



[This type is from the Atkinson Collection. I have another like 

 it from MoUer : it is evidently a rare species. — H. J. K'\ 



Easoelldsta subsignata, sp. n. 



(f . Eore wings ashy grey, much suffused with dull olivaceous, and 

 chequered with a few darker striae ; 1st line, dark olive, forms an
