This very distinct species is contained in the collection of Dr. Stuudinger, and I have not 

 seen a second example. 



Genus PLASTINGIA. 



PlaKlintjut, Butler, Eiit. Mo. Mag. vol. vii. p. 95 (18701, 



This genus differs from Iluhtri in having the upper and lower disco-cellular uervules of the anterior 

 wings almost snbequal in length, thus agreeing with E no not a and Gnwjui'ti, but easily distinguished In a 

 structural sense from those genera by the position of the second liU'dimi nervnlo of the anterior wiu$p8, 

 which has its base about three times as far apart from that of the lower as from that of the upper median 

 nervule. Another distinguishing character in Plastinout is the position of the first subcostal nervule of 

 the anterior wings, which is emitted more nearly opposite the base of second than that of lower median 

 nervule. 



I*fnstmtfia t as at present known, is a small genus, and its species appear to be principally 

 found in the In do- Mai ay an Region. Several have been described from Borneo.

Wings above dark chocolate-brown ; anterior wings with basal costal, subcostal, and inner marginal 

 ocbraceous streaks, and with a iliscul scries of seven pale semi- hyaline spots, of which the largest is bifid 

 and situate above the lower median nervule, three — the uppermost smallest— in oblique series separated by 

 tin lower diseoidal and the upper median nervules, two small and subapical and one in and near end 

 of cell ; posterior wings with a central transverse fascia connected with base, a narrow streak along inner 

 edge of abdominal margin and the hinge ochraceous. Wings beneath paler than above ; anterior wings 

 spotted as above and with a series of dark sub marginal streaks placed between the nervules; posterior 

 wings with the neuratiou ochraceous, the diseal fascia as above, ami with a submarginal series of minute 

 ochraceous spots. Body above brownish, with segmental ochraceous fascia' ; body beneath pale ochraceous, 

 abdomen with a central series of dark brownish spots ; legs brownish. 



Exp. wings, 88 millim.

Mr. Hewitson redescribed this species under the name of He&pvria latoia, and the figure 

 here given represents the typical specimen in the Hewitsoniaii Cabinet. According to the 

 writer's experience the species is moderately nire in the Malay I Vn insula.
