196. Lithosia kingdoni, n. sp. Hab. — Madagascar. 

 Primanes creamy wliite ; a black spot near the base, a 



second close to the end of the cell, and an elbowed series 

 of seven across the disc ; secondaries soft stramineous ; 

 head and thorax creamy white, spotted with black; ab- 

 domen stramineous ; Avings below stramineous, imspotted ; 

 body below subochraceous, anterior coxfe spotted Avith 

 black; legs -whitish, anterior femora blackish above, 

 anterior tibiae blackish below; tarsal claws black; venter 

 with a lateral series of black spots, anal segment ochreous : 

 expanse of wings 2 inches. 



I have named this species after Mr. Kingdon (Mis- 

 sionary), through whose efforts the Museum has obtained 

 several interesting Mascarene novelties. 



197. Lithosia ? puncticollis, n. sp. Hab. — Sarawak. 

 Primaries above pale buff"; an indistinct dusky dot at 



the end of the cell, and two almost confluent trigonate 

 blackish spots below it; secondaries becoming gradually 

 Avhite towards abdominal margin; head and thorax pale 

 buff", a black spot on the crest, two on the collar, and one 

 on each tegula ; thorax ap]3arently Avith a central black 

 spot (our example is a little rubbed); abdomen ochra- 

 ceous, clothed with long hairs; wings below ])aler than 

 above, the primaries Avith the external third slightly 

 dusky; body ochraceous, legs pale buff": expanse of Avings 

 1 inch 7 lines. 



This species might perhaps be separated from Lithosia; 

 thc/orm of the Avings agrees better Avith CEunistis; but as 

 I do not yet knoAv one or two of Walker's genera of 

 Borncan Lithosiids, I prefer to leave this species pro- 

 visionally in Lithosia.
