﻿110 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



EUSEMIA VITHOROIDES, Sp. n. 

 $ . Ground colour black ; primaries with two creamy white blotches in 

 the cell, one near the base, the other towards the extremity ; a central series 

 of five spots of the same colour, the first, third and fourth longitudinal and 

 larger than the rest ; there is also a whitish streak at the base of wing ; on 

 the costa near the base are three bluish transverse bars, and parallel with 

 outer margin three indistinct rows of bluish spots ; a row of longitudinal 

 marks along inner margin. Secondaries with a broad creamy white basal 

 band, and central band of spots of the same colour ; between these bands is 

 situated a large creamy white blotch. Fringes white, chequered with black. 

 Abdonien black, with a white ring at its base, and an orange one on last 

 segment ; anal tuft also orange. Under surface much as above, but more 

 tinged with blue; a very distinct submarginal band of whitish spots on 

 primaries, and a whitish basal streak on costa of all the wings ; pectus and 

 abdomen rich orange ; legs black. <y Expanse, 73 mm. 



One male taken at Chang Yang in June. 



This insect bears a wonderful superficial resemblance to 

 Vithora stratonice, Cram., of which species it is probably a 

 mimic. 



Seudyra subalba, sp. n. 

 £. Closely allied to S. longiz>ennis, Walk., but the ground colour of 

 primaries is white, thickly sprinkled on basal half with dark grey, the inner 

 margin is not shaded with bluish grey, but there is a patch of this colour 

 between the central lines ; the laky brown apical patch encloses a small 

 bluish cloud which has a paler, almost white, spot on its exterior edge ; the 

 patch of brown beyond outer line is larger and more crimson in tone. 

 Secondaries yellow, broadly bordered with black. Under surface of primaries 

 white ; costa narrowly and outer margin broadly bordered with black, the 

 latter tinged with white at apex ; there is a patch of the same colour along 

 inner margin from base to beyond middle, and the discal spots are also black ; 

 secondaries as above. Expanse, 44 — 47 mm. 



Five male specimens from Chang Yang, where they were 

 taken in June, and one example of the same sex from Ichang, 

 also taken in June. 



Seudyra mandarina, sp. n. 



<? . The costal and central portion of primaries greyish, sprinkled with 

 darker scales ; discoidal spots blackish, ringed with pale grey ; inner and 

 outer marginal areas purplish, clouded with purplish brown. Secondaries 

 deep orange, with a large, round, black central spot ; a submarginal band of 

 black confluent spots, connected from the anal angle with the base of the 

 wing by a blackish suffused streak. Under surface deep orange, clouded 

 with reddish brown about the margins ; discal and central spots on primaries, 

 and discal and anal spots on secondaries, black. Expanse, 50 mm. 



A fine male taken at Chang Yang in July. 



Seudyra flavida, sp. n. 



S • Primaries grey, sprinkled with brownish scales ; apical portion and 

 outer margin clouded with purplish brown ; along the inner margin is a 

 large patch of purplish brown, maroon at the base and towards inner angle, 

 this is traversed by two black bars intersected by a yellowish line ; discal 

 spots purplish brown, ringed with white ; secondaries orange-yellow, without 

 any black markings. Under surface dull golden orange, clouded with 

 reddish brown about the outer margins ; discal spots and patch along inner
