34. Plesioneitea badia. (Plate X, fig. 10, $ .) 

 Pterygospidea hadia, Hewitson, Ann. and Mag. of Nat Hist., fourth series, vol. xx, 

 p. 322 (1877) ; idem, id., Desc. Lep. coll. Atk., p. 4, (1879). 



I have only seen two specimens of this insect, one in Colonel Lang's 

 collection, the other in the Indian Museum, Calcutta ; both, as well as the 

 specimen described by Hewitson, are from Sikkim. These two specimens 

 have a fifth subapical small white spot, the extra one placed above the 

 minute spot described by Hewitson in the lower discoidal interspace. The 

 ring below the club of the antenna is ochreous, not white as stated by 

 Hewitson. 



35. Abaeatha tatlorit, n. sp. (Plate X, fig. 13, ^ .) 



Hab. Khurda, Orissa. 



Expanse . <J , 1'5 ; ?, l'7o inches. 



Desceiption : Male. Upperside ochreous. Forewing with the 

 following brown markings : — a spot near the middle of the cell and two 

 below and just beyond it, a subapical streak touching and beyond the three 

 subapical diaphanous spots, and a similar streak from the third median 

 nervule to the inner margin beyond the discal spots : also the following 

 diaphanous white spots with fine black margins : — two at the end of the 

 cell, the upper one much the smaller and sometimes joined to the lower 

 one ; a round spot below in the first median interspace with a minute one 

 above and beyond it in the second median interspace ; two minute spots 

 placed obliquely (the lower nearer the base of the wing) in the submedian 

 interspace ; three rather large subapical conjugated spots placed obliquely 

 outwards. Sindwing with a subbasal streak, a rounded spot near the 

 end of the cell, the disco-cellulars marked with a fine line, two spots 

 one on either side of and in a line with the cell spot, and a discal sinuous 

 macular series — all dark brown. Cilia dark brown. Underside with the 

 markings as above, but the whole area except the outer margin of the 

 hindwing, and the apex widely and outer margin of the forewing, covered 

 with pure white scales. Female rather larger, paler, the markings similar. 



Very near to A. ransonnetii, Felder, which also occurs in Orissa, but 

 differs from it in being ochreous not dark brown above, and the disc of 

 the hindwing being unmarked with a group of ochreous spots and streaks 

 as in that species. 



I have named this species after Mr. W. C. Taylor, who has sent me 

 from time to time large collections of Orissa Ehopalocera. 



36. Ptrgtjs deaviea. (Plate X, fig. 5, 2.) 

 P. drmira, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1874, p. blQ, pi. Ixvii, fig. Z, female. 

 I am not quite certain of my identification of this species, Mr. Moore's 

 figure is not very like my specimens, nor does his description exactly agree.
