forwards, slightly decumbeut, with the 3rd joint distinct and 

 pointed, whereas in Icterodes they are stout, short, and inclined 

 upwards.

cf 2 • I'ore wings bronzy olive ; if carefully examined, however, 

 the ground-colour will be seen to be dull whitish, so thickly ovei'laid 

 with ochreous and dull olive spots and striga), interspersed with 

 blackish spots and shades, as to be itself almost obliterated. If 

 viewed obliquely, the dii*ectiou of the transverse lines and lighter 

 spots becomes plainer. The basal | of the wing is more or less 

 overspread with blackish, especially towards the costa : in the 

 outer 3 can be seen 3 curved rows of black spots between the 

 veins, running pai'allel to the hind margin, and between them, 

 but fainter, similar rows of pale, shghtly shining spots. These 

 are much plainer in the c? , especially along the submarginal 

 line; fringe chequered, light ochreous and dark olive, with a basal 

 row of black spots between the veins. Hind wings dull glossy 

 grey, densely irrorated with darker grey, with a dull central spot 

 and 2 indistinct dark curved lines ; fringes dull ochreous, not 

 chequered. Underside : fore wings blurred cinereous, darker 

 along the costa, variegated with ochreous towards the hind margin 

 and along the costa ; hind wings of c5' clear pale ochreous, thickly 

 dusted with dark grey atoms, with the dark central spot and 

 central fascia distinct ; in the $ dull ochreous white, with the 

 same markings indistinct. Head, antennae, and thorax dark 

 bronzy olive, like fore wings ; abdomen ochreous, mixed with 

 cmereous as in the hind wings. 



Expanse of wings 56 millim.

[This fine species is not uncommon at high elevations in the 

 interior. I took it at Sundukpho about 12,000 feet, and my native 

 plant-collector brought it from Jongri at 13,000-15,000 feet. It 

 flies in July and August. — H. J. E,] 



Paeicteeobes luciguttata, sp. n. 



J 5 • l^ore wings white, almost entirely suffused with olive- 

 ochreous, which tint is especially thick along the veins towai'ds the 

 hind margin ; 4 dark brown-black irregular fascia) can be traced 

 across the wings running parallel to the hind margin ; the space be- 

 tween is dotted with minute white atoms of the ground-colour, the 

 submarginal being followed by a more distinct and regular series ; 

 when viewed obliquely, all these white patches appear silvery 

 bluish ; costa between the dark lines ochreous, dotted with black ; 

 fringes chequered, light and dark olive-ochreous. Hind M'ings 

 greyish oclu'eous, minutely dusted with dark atoms, with an 

 indistinct dark central spot and 2 faint dark curved fasciae ; 

 fringes chequered, but only darker at end of veins. Underside 

 dull cinereous ochreous along the costa and hind margin. Hind
