wings and end on the inner margin of hind wings marked by minute 

 white dots, the latter always conspicuous ; hind margin of fore 

 wing below apex occupied by a diffuse bronzy olive suffusion. 

 Underside purplish grey, with the middle and 2nd lines, the discal 

 spots, and a shade following darker. 



Expanse of wings, $ 56 milhm., cJ -iS millim. 



The largest species of the genus. 



Uah. Sikkim. 



[Taken by MoUer in March and May, in the low valleys, where 

 it seems a rare species. — H. J. E.'] 



Fascellln'a ixoexata, sp. u. 



S • Fore wings dull olive-brown, shaded \\ii\\ dark bro\^Ti beyond 

 the 3rd line, aud dtisted sparsely with dark brown striae towards 

 the base and inner margin ; 1st line dark brown, obliquely sinu- 

 ous, with some pearly silvery scales, which are plainest on the inner 

 margin and on the veins ; 2nd line thick, sinuous, running in the 

 main parallel to the 1st line, and to the hind margin ; an indis- 

 tinct, oblique brown blotch from the costa beyond the origin of 

 the 1st line runs to meet the 2nd line below the costa; 3rd line 

 brown, sinuous, apparently double, with a pearly silvery thread up 

 the centre, consisting of a series of curves, concave basewards 

 between the veins ; the line forms a sinus inwards at the centi*e, 

 and outwards below the costa, before which it is recurved again 

 basewards, and is followed ou the costa by a silvery blotch ; the 

 line is followed on the inner margin hy a patch of silvery scales, 

 and some indistinct teeth of the same colour can be made out in 

 the dark submarginal space ; costal space between 2nd and 3rd 

 lines dull tawny. Hind wings thickly beset Avith dark transverse 

 striae at the base, with a nearly straight double brown silvery- 

 centred middle line, and a less distinct denticulated submarginal 

 line. Head, thorax, and abdomen above dark olive-brown. 

 Underside bright fulvous ; the basal half of the costa paler ; the 

 hind margin cinereous ; 2ud line deep fulvous from costa halfway 

 across the Ming ; 3rd line marked by a diffuse edging of pearly 

 scales in the upper halt', by a fine silvery line in the lower. Hind 

 wings with 2 curved red-brown lines, which do not approximate. 

 Underside of abdomen and thorax fulvous. 



Expanse of wings 30 millim. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



Akin to F. clironuitaria, distinguished by the absence of white 

 spots, and the presence of the dull tawny patch below the costa 

 towards the apex. The antenna3 are much more densely and 

 lengthily cihated than they lisually are in this genus. 



[This type is from the Atkinson Collection. 1 have another Hke 

 it from Moller ; it is evidently a rare species. — H. J. E.'] 



Fascellina subsignata, sp. n. 



S . Fore wings ashy grey, much suffused with dull olivaceous, and 

 chequered with a few darker striie ; 1st line, dark olive, forms an
