similar pale- bordered but indistinct markings ; a discal increasing 

 oblique belt slightly curved, with sinuated inner edge and diffused 

 outer edge from subcostal to first median vein, from first median 

 vein to inner margin abruptly narrowed and of equal width, 

 slanting obliquely inwards ; a chain-like double series of opposed 

 lunules parallel to outer margin ; outer border rather paler 

 (because more densely irrorated with pale ochreous) than the rest 

 of the wing : secondaries crossed from just before middle by four 

 pale ochreous bands, the first slightly irregular and sharply defined 

 internally, diflfused externally, continuing the discal belt of the 

 primaries ; the second and third continviing the chain-like series 

 of the primaries, the fourth submarginal, less defined than the 

 others, undulated ; outer border as in primaries. Wings below 

 altogether paler than in the male, greyer, the discal belt of upper 

 surface well defined, but pinky whitish on the secondaries ; the 

 basal area of these wings irrorated with pearl-grey indicating two 

 vague subbasal bands ; the chain-like belt pearl-grey on both 

 wings and with white points on the upper internal lunules of the 

 primaries and the lower internal lunules of the secondaries. 

 Expanse of wings 56 mm.

Prof. AurivilUus has pointed out that the female figured 

 by Karsch does not belong to this species and has named it 

 D. karschi. 



A second female similarly coloured is in the collection ; but, 

 without the male, it would be rash to name it : in pattern it is 

 not unlike I), felicia, but it is a much shorter- winged insect. 



PSEUDATHYMA PLUTONICA, sp. n. (Plate I. fig. 6.) 



Allied to P. sihyllina, but smaller, shorter in wing, the primaries 

 with much less sinuous outer margin, the secondaries rounded, 

 not prod viced at anal angle ; the discal belt of the primaries 

 forming three patches, the first three divisions being much shoiter 

 than in P. sihyllina ; the belt of the secondaries constricted 

 towards costa and not deeply indented externally ; the inner 

 submarginal line only white in the centre : on the under surface 

 the markings on the basal area, excepting a costal patch on the 

 secondaries, sujffused. Expanse of wings 42 mm. 



Toro, in June. 



AcR^A ORiNATA Oberthur. (Plate I. fig. 1.) 



5 . This is the largest female of the group yet described, and 

 much more nearly resembles the male of A . jjarrhasia than any- 

 thing else : the primaries show a pinky- white, semitransparent, 

 obliqiie, trifid bar beyond the cell in continuation of the discal 

 tawny belt, and the basal area of the secondaries is almost wholly 

 black : on the under surface this sex chiefly differs from A . 

 orinata J in showing a diffused whitish patch beyond the cell of 

 primaries. Expanse of wings 70 mm.
