LlTHOSIA COSTIPUNCTA, Sp. n. 



$ . Ground colour of primaries rich orange, with a round black spot 

 just below middle of costa. Secondaries rather paler. "Under surface the 

 same as above, but slightly paler and with no indication of the black costal 

 spot ; legs blackish. Expanse, 37 mm. 



One male taken at Chang Yang in June. 



Setina unipuncta, sp. n. 



$ . Primaries yellow, costa inclined to orange, costal spot black and 

 distinct. Secondaries paler. Under surface of primaries fuliginous, all the 

 margins yellow, as also is the discoidal cell, central spot indistinct ; 

 secondaries as above, but costa deeper yellow. Head and thorax colour of 

 primaries ; abdomen paler, tinged with grey towards anal segment, which is 

 yellow. 



? . Primaries reddish orange, the discal area suffused with yellowish, 

 black central spot. Secondaries pinkish red. Under surface as in the male, 

 but the yellow is replaced by red. Expanse : male, 34 mm. ; female, 38 mm. 



Two specimens taken at Chang Yang (female in May ; male 

 in June). 



Setina rubricans, sp. n. 



Primaries rosy-buff; costa black at base ; discal spot large, black, a 

 smaller one below on the inner margin ; there is also a submarginal series 

 of small black spots. Secondaries paler, rather darker along outer margin. 

 Under surface : primaries suffused with black along the centre of the wing 

 and basal portion of costa ; secondaries with a marginal row of five small 

 black spots ; legs marked with black. Expanse : male, 30 mm. ; female, 

 34 mm. 



A nice series taken at Chang Yang, in June ; also specimens 

 from the neighbourhood of Ichang, in July. There is an un- 

 named specimen from Pekin in the National Collection at South 

 Kensington, which I believe is referable to this species. 



MlLTOCHRISTA RIVALIS, Sp. 11. 



Closely allied to M. inscripta, Walk., but smaller, and the discal area of 

 primaries much whiter ; there is a black dot at the base and a pink streak 

 above on the costa, but no other black marks before the first line, which is 

 distinctly curved. Expanse : male 22 mm. ; female, 27 mm. 



Several specimens taken at Chang Yang in June, and at 

 Ichang in July ; also one female example taken by my native col- 

 lector at Gensan in July, 1887, which at first I thought was 

 probably a variety of M. inscripta. The differences referred to 

 are constant. 



MlLTOCHRISTA RUFA, Sp. n. 

 Primaries reddish orange ; basal and outer thirds blackish, the external 

 edge of former oblique and internal edge of the latter curved, meeting on the 

 inner margin. Secondaries orange -yellow, outer margin bordered with blackish. 

 Fringes reddish orange. Under surface orange-yellow ; base of costa and 

 border of outer margin of primaries blackish, as also is the narrower outer 

 border of secondaries ; fringes as above. Head and thorax orange-yellow ; 

 abdomen rather darker. Expanse, 24 — 27 mm. 



Six specimens taken in June at Chang Yang.
