LlPAIilD*. 



Antiphella ateinotata, sp. n. (Plate XLIII. fig. 5.) 



Pearl-white, wings semitransparent ; primaries with three sub- 

 apical spots in a slightly curved series parallel to outer margin and 

 two spots placed obliquely near external angle, all blackish and 

 very small ; costal margin also black, very distinctly so at basal 

 third : antennae pale testaceous ; body of similar colouring, but 

 densely irrorated, rather than clothed, with white scales : under 

 surface as above. Expanse of wings 34 millim. 



One male.

Piia:oo]usta zebea, sp. n. (Plato XLTIT. fig. 4.) 



(J. Like P. similis, Walk. (= helciloldes, Dewitz), but the sub- 

 apical patch ou the black area of primaries broad and almost 

 wholly ochreous as in P. formosa, the spot towards external angle 

 also ochreous ; secondaries orange-vermilion, with the usual black 

 border and white-chequered fringe : body as in P. similis. Expanse 

 of wings 71 millim. 



One male, 



NoOTUIDjE. 



PoDiNA JOHNS'roNi, sp. n. (Plate XLIII. fig. 6.) 



Close to F. alMeincta, but with the primaries more closely 

 resembling those of F. posimaculata in pattern, the wing being 

 crossed as in that species by an oblique buif band ending at external 

 angle in a greyish lobe ; outer margin also buif ; fringe greyish. 

 Expanse of wings 17 millim. 



One rather poor example. 



This ia doubtless the African representative of the Ceylonese 

 F. pustmacidata, from which the more buff-tinted markings of the
