362 ME. W. WABEEN ON NEW GENERA ATN^D [Apr. 18, 



Id(ea ealcipennis, sp. u. (Plate XXXII. fig. 11.) 



5 . Eore wings stone-colour, almost wholly suffused with cine- 

 reous, with a broadisli, slightly sinuate subtermiual fascia of the 

 pale ground-colour, before and beyond which the grey suffusion is 

 denser ; a denticulate darker exterior hne, a sinuous darker central 

 shade, and a basal transverse line can just be traced ; these are 

 probably more distinct in other specimens ; fringes pale grey, \\ith 

 the basal line black, interrupted by each uervule. Hind wings like 

 fore wings, but with a distinct black cell-spot. Face, antennae, and 

 thorax stone-colour ; abdomen the same, but dusted with grey. 

 Underside paler, unsuff used, with the lines all distinct. 



Hah. Sikkim. 



This species may be distinguished by the shape of the wings ; the 

 fore wings having the costa strongly curved throughout, the apex 

 bluntly falcate, and the hind margin obliquely straight. Hind 

 wings with hind margin fully rounded, and somewhat broadly 

 elbowed in the middle. The palpi are excessively minute. It is 

 very probable that when more specimens, including the S ■, come 

 to be examined, the species may have to form the type of a 

 distinct genus. 



[Two specimens of this distinct species, taken by 0. Moller on 

 Oct. 12, are in my collection. — H. J. E.'] 



Idcea butteosa, sp. n. 



S . Fore wings rather bright clay-yellow, with all the markings 

 indistinctly deeper ; a basal curved line, a central curved line just 

 beyond a diffuse cell-blotch ; an exterior, more denticulated line 

 and a hardly paler subtermiual space ; fringes concolorous ; a 

 series of very minute dark dots at the base of fringes between the 

 veins, most conspicuous towards the apex. Hind wings the same, 

 with a minute dark cell-spot. Head, thorax, and abdomen all 

 concolorous. Underside dull ochreous, with the lines only faintly 

 visible, except the 3rd. 



Expanse of wings 26 millim. 



Hah. tSikkim. 



[A single specimen was sent by Mr. Grammie from Mongpo, 

 about 4000 feet.— ^. J. E.] 



Subfam. Astheninje. 

 Amathia nigeonotata, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 18.) 



J . Fore wings white, crossed by a series of pale grey fasciae, 

 mixed with ochreous, traversed by finely darker sinuous lines, 

 •which towards the inner margin form black dashes on the veins ; 

 the fasciae are G in number : two, narrow, near the base ; a wider 

 one before the middle ; a still wider one beyond the middle ; a 

 narrow submarginal one, dotted with blackish and with two darker 

 patches below the costa ; and, lastly, a narrow marginal fascia ; 

 fringe spotted A\ith blackish at the base. Hind wings pure white.
