the hind wing) and of two or three lines, but all indistinct except 

 the subterminal line of the fore wing from costa to R 1 and a white 

 subterminal spot on hind wing behind M 2 . 



It seems to me not impossible that this genus really embraces only 

 two or three variable species, in which case this would probably sink 

 as an aberration of JV. syba Gn. ; (or amplificans Wlk., if this is 

 distinct from syba) ; but it is quite a distinct form from any other in 

 Coll. British Museum and as the genus is at present classified must 

 stand as a good species. 



10. Argyrolopha punctilinea sp. n. (pi. XVII, fig. 10). 



$ , 32 mm. 



Head, body and wings pale greyish-brown ; the wings above with 

 some cerise-pink scales intermixed, below greyer; pectus whitish; tarsi 

 broadly ringed with fuscous ; tibiae with some fuscous scales ; palpus 

 predominantly blackish, intermixed with pale brown ; antennal shaft 

 brown. 



Fore wing with some fuscous shading and with the lines defined on 

 each side by fuscous suffusion, especially at costa. Subbasal line in- 

 curved from costa at about 1 mm. to M near base ; some dark basal 

 suffusion behind cell ; antemedial line from costa at about two-sevenths, 

 thence obsolescent, angled behind costa, bent inwards to M, and ex- 

 curved to hind margin at about one-quarter; medial line suberect, 

 broad, with the dark definition diffused, from near middle of costa, bent 

 outwards in cell ; orbicular a short, black, horizontal streak ; reniform 

 dark-ringed, slightly oblique, figure-of-eight-shaped, with the anterior 

 half smaller (more compressed) than the posterior ; postmedial line 

 from costa at about three-fifths, with the proximal dark shading broken 

 into black dots, the distal slight and broken by white dots on the veins, 

 angled out behind costa, slightly incurved between the radials, inwardly 

 oblique from R 3 to hindmargin at about two-thirds ; some slight 

 fuscous shading between the postmedial and subterminal * lines ; sub- 

 terminal line strongly excurved behind SC 5 , R 1 and fold and angled in 

 on R 2 and behind M 2 , the angles with the fuscous definition broadened 

 out ; a strongly crenulate black terminal line joined to the interneural 

 black spots, which stand out very sharply ; fringe grey-brown mixed 

 with cerise-pink, with a fuscous line at middle and some shading 

 between the veins at tip. 



Hind wing reproducing the markings of the fore wing, with the 

 exception of the subbasal and antemedial lines and the stigmata ; a
