the wiags is very similar : both sexes are in Mr, Moore's collec- 

 tion from North China. I think IthaphidognatTia seiiceformis of 

 Felder is the same species. 



Genus Artoka, Walker. PI. XXVIII. fig 14. 



Secondaries with two subcostal and three median branches ; a fine 

 radial nervure equally dividing the discocellulars and recurrent 

 within the cell to near the base of the median nervure ; the disco- 

 cellulars together forming a distinct angle ; connecting alary 

 bristle very long : autennse of male strongly pectinated, of 

 female filiform, flattened below, and rather thick, with the 

 apical segments attenuated and ending in a species of clavus.

In Mr. Moore's collection from S. India. 



2. A. ZEBRAICA, n. sp. 



Size of the preceding species, but nearly allied to A. Walkeri ; from the 

 latter it chiefly differs in its smaller size, the paler colour and smaller 

 size of all the yellow spots and patches on the wings, and the yellow 

 bands and streaks on the body, and the triangular form of the abdo- 

 minal bands : the abdomen of the male below is nearly white : ex- 

 pause of wings 16 to 20 millims.

4. A. NIGRESCENS, U. Sp. 



(S . Closely allied to the preceding species, same size, and nearly the same 

 pattern, but almost black, with the yellow markings very pale ; the 

 spots on primaries rather larger, and the streaks of secondaries united, 

 semittansparent in front ; also a yellow and hyaline-white spot upon 

 the costal margin : expanse of wings 22 miUims.

Easily recognized, from the dark ground-colour of the body and 

 wings and the very slender pale bands on the abdomen.

2 • Like a small edition of A. Walkeri, but easily distinguished by the 

 coloration of the abdomen, which is ochreous, with a black spot on 

 eadi side at base and anal extremity : it also differs in having the sub-
