PHE]sncE Westwood (1842), Ti-ans. Linn. Soc. Lond. xix. pp. 10, 11. 



Type, JPhenice fasciolata (Boh.), pi. 2, figs. 3, 2 a-c. 



See my remarks on the type of this genus, ante p. 207. 



I have not seen the type of Derhe fasciolata Boh., and the specimens 

 standing under that name in the British Museum do not agree in certain 

 points with Westwood's figures, but I shall consider them as typical until 

 I can examine the type or someone redescribes it, if the insect is still in 

 existence. These specimens have the clavus narrowly open ; the cubitus 

 with four veins, but only three reach the hind margin ; media with four 

 sectors ; subcostal cell long, commencing about one-third from the base. 



Derhe fritillaris Boh. is represented by several specimens which 

 are congeneric A\'ith Pheiiice moesta Westw., and they belong to the 

 genus Proutista Kirk., subfamily Zoraidinae {cf. antea, p. 177). 



P. tessellata Westw. 



The two specimens standing under this name have tegmina similar 

 to those of P . fasciolata (Boh.), but as the subantennal processes are 

 very small, they come nearer to Dawnaria Dist. 



P. stellulata (Boh.). 



The two specimens placed under this name are congeneric with 

 P. fasciolata (Boh.), as represented in the collection. 



P. neavei, sp. n. 



cJ. Structurally the same as P. fasciolata Boh., as represented in tbe 

 British Museum collection by two female specimens, but the face is slightly 

 narrower. The subantennal plate is large, about as long as broad; shoulder 

 keels very small. 



Head, pro thorax, and legs yellow, mesonotum light brown, carinae lighter, 

 abdomen darker brown, anal segment and genital styles yellowish. Tegmina 

 hyaline ; subcosta, radius, and media yellow ; median sectors, cubitus, and 

 claval veins brown, light fuscous mottling over basal third, more markedly so 

 in clavus; light fuscous over most of the rest of the tegmina, with lighter 

 patches between the median sectors and over radial cell ; four small dark 

 marks in the middle of costal cell and a larger one at apex, darker in the 

 narrow subcostal cell and in the subcostal and median apical cells. "Wings 

 light fuscous with dark veins. 



Anal segment of medium length, broad, narrowest at base, apex rounded 

 and subsinuous, broadest slightly beyond middle, lateral margins sloping down- 

 ward and rounded in outline, anus in the apical third ; genital styles large, 

 ^onger than anal segment, ventral edge entire, convexly rounded, dorsal edge
