350 MR. "W. AVAEEEX OX NEW GENERA AND [Apr. 18, 



[I have four specimens of this distinct species taken bj native 

 collectors on the Nepal frontier at 7000-8000 feet.— Z/'. J. E.'\ 



Peeissolophia, gen. nov. 



Akin to Terpna, H.-S., in having the abdominal segments armed 

 with erect tufts of hair, and with one dense and extraordinarily 

 long one behind the thorax ; differing from all allied genera in 

 the shape of the wings ; fore wings longer in proportion, not so 

 triangular, ^^ith the hind margin curved and denticulated ; hind 

 wings not prolonged in the direction of the body, with rounded 

 and denticulate hind margin ; densely clothed with long hairs 

 towards the base. Antennae strongly pectinated nearly to the tip, 

 the pectinations being longer than in Terpna ; palpi with 2nd 

 joint hairy beneath ; 3rd joint, bluntly rounded, porrected in 

 front ; abdomen beneath and all femora hairy. 



Type, P. subrosea, sp. n. 



Perissolophia subrosea, sp. u. 



c? . Fore wings dull olive-green, suffused with pink and speckled 

 with purplish atoms ; lines indistinct, purplish ; 1st oblique, irre- 

 gularly angular ; 2nd rimniug obliquely outwards towards the 

 centre of the hind margin, then irregularly dentate, parallel to it ; 

 submargiual line faintly indicated by three white arrow-heads below 

 the costa ; an oblique blackisli dash at the end of the cell. Hind 

 wing towards the base pinkish ochreous ; costal half wholly pink ; 

 hind margin gi'eenish, both flecked with purple. Head and thorax 

 dull olive-green, like the fore wing ; abdomen more ochreous, like 

 the hind wing. Underside shining ochreous, strongly suffused 

 with pinkish, especially along the costa ; abdomen beneath and 

 femora of all the legs beset \\ith thick ochreous hairs. 



Expanse of wings 46 milhm. 



[Several specimens of this very distinct species were taken by 

 native collectors in Mav and June in the interior of JSikkim. — 

 H. J. E.] 



AcTENOCHROMA , gen. nov. 

 Distinguished from Hypocliroma, Guen., by the simple antennae 

 of the 6 . 



Type, A. muscicoloraria, AVlk. {HypocJironui). 



ACTENOCHROMA F.\RINOSA, Sp. n. 



(5 . Eesembles A. viridaria, Moore, but a little larger and longer- 

 winged ; dull cinereous green, varied with whitish and pale grey ; 

 all the markings much as in viridaria, but without the pink spots 

 so conspicuous in that species. Underside with only a Aery faint 

 indication of a darker submarginal band, but with a distinct, large 

 blackish central spot on each wing. 



[A single c? specimen taken in Lahoul, North-west Himalayas, 

 at 12,300 feet, on Sept. 9, by Capt. Grahame Toung. It seems a 

 cUstinct species. — H.J. £".]
