 scalloped. Forehead prominent, rounded; palpi short, rough, 

 horizontal; the terminal joint hardly distinguishable, slightly

cS . Wings fawn-coloured with a reddish tinge, with numerous 

 scattered dark transverse striae ; the lines distinct and thick only 

 on the costa ; basal line gradually curved ; exterior line irregularly 

 denticulated and sinuous, somewhat interrupted ; subterminal 

 line pale, sinuous, darker internally, with a rather deep sinus about 

 the centre, above and below which the line is darker; space 

 between the last two lines more reddish ; a row of black lunules 

 before the fringes. Hind wings with a small central spot, a 

 dentate central line, and traces of an irregular submarginal line as 

 in the fore wing. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous.

[The type has lost its label, but I remember that the specimen 

 was sent me by the late O. Moller, and was certainly taken in 

 Sikkim or West Bhotan.— 5^. J. B.] 



Deinoteichia litida, sp. n. 



d'. Wings dark slate tinged with purple, and at the centre of 

 the inner margin of fore wings with rusty-brown ; fore wings with 

 4 velvety blackish transverse lines ; the first, at ^ from the base, 

 forms 3 or 4 strong curves outwards, and is twice as near the base 

 on the inner margin as on the costa ; it is preceded by a fainter 

 dark line; space included towards base paler slate-colour; 2nd 

 line distinct only at the costa, runs outwards at first, then at rather 

 a sharp angle, turns and runs parallel to hind margin as a nearly 

 straight, ill-defined dark shade; 3rd line strongly denticulated, 

 blackish, followed by a fine pale slate-coloured line, equally den- 

 ticulated, which is itself edged again with dark ; space between basal 

 and 3rd lines darker than the basal area, and becoming bronzy- 

 brown on the inner margin ; submarginal line cloudy, consisting of
