Charmion differs from JSantana, Moore, in the discoidal cell of the 

 fore'wing heing a little less than two-thirds the length of the wing, in 

 Hantana the cell is obviously more than two-thirds the length. It differs 

 from both Hantana, Moore, and Celcenorrhinus, Hiibner, in having the 

 middle and lower disco-cellular nervules of the forewing considerably 

 more upright, and the second median nervule arising far from instead of 

 close to the lower end of the cell. The imago rests on the underside 

 of leaves with wide-spread wings.

(2) Charmion tola, Hewitson. 



Plesioneura tola, Hewitson, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., fifth series, vol. i, 

 p. 340 (1878) ; Notocrypta tola, de Niceville, Journ, Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. iv, 

 p. 191, n. 15 (1889) ; Plastingia ? plesioneurcB, Staudinger, Ex. Schmett., p. 299, pi. c, 



female (1888). 



Habitat: Tondano {Hewitson) ; Minahassa, Celebes {Staudinger). 



I have not seen the " Plesioneura " tola of Hewitson. From the 

 description it appears to differ from C. ficulnea, Hewitson, in the fore- 

 wing in the discal band extending posterior to the first median nervule, 

 in C. ficulnea it ends on that vein. I have put P. tola in the genus on 

 Lieut. E. Y. Watson's authority. Neither have I seen Dr. Staudinger's 

 '^Plastingia ?" plesioneurce, but as the figure agrees exactly with Hewit- 

 son's description, I have no hesitation in placing it here. 



Genus Sepa, nov. 



Male. Forewing, costa almost straight ; apex acute ; outer margin 

 almost straight, very oblique ; mner margin straight, exactly as long 

 as the outer margin ; costal nervure ending a little before the apex of 

 the discoidal cell ; subcostal nervules arising at gradually decreasing 

 distances apart ; discoidal cell long, extending beyond the middle of the 

 wing ; upper disco-cellular nervule short, straight, outwardly oblique ; 

 middle and lotver disco-cellulars of nearly equal length, straight, strongly 

 inwardly oblique, the middle a little longer than the lower; second 

 median nervule arising a little before the lower end of the cell ; first 

 median arising nearer the base of the wing than the lower end of 

 the cell ; suhnedian nervure straight ; a sexual brand, or '* male-mark,"
