 One female and two males, from Kala Pani and Thundiani, August

The specimen in the Brit. Mus. collection is from Murree. 



117. Angerona stramineata, sp. n. (Nos. 122 & 187.) 

 Fore wing yellowish straw-colour, thickly sprinkled with fulvous 



dots, especially over the basal and marginal areas, and above the 

 anal angle ; with two fulvous transverse lines and a fulvous central 

 spot ; the first line near the base is curved, and bluntly augulated 

 below the costa ; the second runs parallel to the hind margin. Hind 

 wing with two curved fulvous lines, one in the centre, the other sub- 

 marginal, approximating on the inner margin, where the fulvous dots 

 are densest. Head, face, thorax, abdomen, and antennae all alike, 

 straw-coloured. Underside paler, only sparsely sprinkled with dots, 

 but with the two lines, and the central spot of the fore wing, and the 

 two lines of the hind wing strongly marked. 



Expanse of wings 38-42 niillim. 



Four males from Tlmndiani, September 1886. 



118. Psyra debilis, sp. n. (No. 122.) 



1 Semiothisa diplotata, Feld. Reise Nov. pi. 128. fig. 16. 



Fore wings pale straw-colour, sparsely dusted with transverse 

 fulvous or dark brown flecks, more thickly towards the base of tlie 

 costa, and crossed by three sinuous fulvous or brown lines, which all 

 start from black-brown costal blotches — the first at one third from the 

 base, the second in the middle, the third submarginal : this last contains 

 two small black subcostal dots, with a larger double blotch obliquely 

 beneath them, and again two smaller ones at the inner margin : 

 between the second and third lines a still fainter one can be traced, 

 consisting sometimes only of a series of isolated fulvous dots, start- 

 ing also like the rest from a brown-black costal blotch ; a faint ful- 

 vous central dot ; hind margin with a row of black dots ; fringes 

 short, straw-colour. Hind wings straw-colour, with a central brown 

 band and central spot touching it, followed by a narrower one, and 

 with traces of a third, submarginal, with a brown spot in its centre ; 

 the transverse flecks brown ; hind margin with a row of black dots. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen straw-colour. Underside with all the 

 markings much darker ; the base of the costa in the fore wing brown. 



Expanse of wings 38-40 millim. 



Three males from Thundiani, August 16 and 19, September 5, 

 1886, with the remark "fairly common in August." 



A much more fragile and delicately-built insect than either P. 

 cuneata, Wlk., or P. ungulifera, Wlk., without the striking angular 

 dark blotches which form so prominent a feature in them. 



Semiothisa diplotata, Feld. Reise Nov. pi. 128. fig. 16, from 

 Bengal, may represent a small strongly-coloured male of this species.
