P. diyglesl Hew. appears to agree in these characters with the 

 type of Pseudodijjsas, viz. P. eone Felcl. Two other species are 

 included by Mr. Miskin {loc. cit. p. 67) in Pseudodijysas, but I 

 have not seen these. Mr. de Xiceville {loc. cit.) appears to have 

 confused P. ilias with P. intensa Butl. Mr. Miskin also states 

 that he knows Utica onycha Hew. from the description and 

 figures only. Probably he knows it well under another name, as 

 it is quite a common species and we have many examples from 

 various parts of Australia and ISTew Guinea, which I have com- 

 pared with the type in the British Museum. Hewitson's figui-e. 

 which represents a female, is too highly coloured. Theclinesthes 

 eremicola Pagenst. Zoologica, sxvii. p. 123, pi. ii. fig. 9 (1900), 

 appears to be identical with Hewitson's Utica onycha and must 

 be sunk as a synonym. 



Arrhenothrix penicilligera de Mceville. 



There appear to be two forms of this species from the Khasia 

 Hills. The larger and tj-pical' form has the black apical 

 Ijorder more extensive and the blue coloration darker in shade 

 than the smaller form, which has the blue area on the fore wing- 

 extending partially up the outer margin fi'om the angle. Lai-ge 

 series of each form have been received, and these difierences may 

 possibly be seasonal. 



Tajuria thyia de lSIicev.\ var. pallescens, nov. 



cJ . Upperside with the blue area much paler, more lavendei-, 

 and more extensive than in typical thyia ; in the fore wing 

 extending upwards to the 2nd median nervule, and in the hind 

 wing much closer to the costal margin. The underside is also 

 paler, with the short marks at the ends of the cells clearly 

 defined, and the black spots at the lobe and between the lower 

 median nervviles minute and very faintly surrounded with pale 

 yellow. 



Hah. Jaintia Hills {2Ius. Bruce). 



This form, which may be seasonal, has been received in con- 

 siderable numbers by Colonel Swinhoe, to whose generosity we 

 are indebted for possessing it. We have typical T. thyia also 

 from the Jaintia Hills. 



Pseudalmenus, gen. nov. 



Allied to lalmemts, from which it differs by the costal maigin 

 being depressed about the middle, not arched as in that genus, 

 and by the subcostal nervule reaching the margin below the apex 

 of the wing (in lalmenus it reaches the margin above the apex). 

 Tne cell is shorter and broader, and in the hind wing the median 

 nervure is longer with its branches more nearly equal in length, 

 this being caused by the upper nervule being bent upwards more
