? . Nearly allied to E. antica ; the wings and thorax of the male cream-coloured^ 
the primaries and thorax of the female more cream-coloured than in E. antica ; the abdomen 
in both sexes blacker, the anal tuft of the female brownish yellow. Expanse of wings, (J 28

From the fact that the male is somewhat malformed and both sexes in poor condition 
generally, it seems not unlikely that this form may turn out to be nothing more than E. antica 
underfed ; the abdomen, however, is decidedly darker, nearly as black as in E. melanophila, 
and the duller colouring of the anal tuft would appear to be a good distinctive character.

Chcerotricha sulphurescens. (Plate CXXIII. figs. 6, 7.) 
Artaxa sulphurescens, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 399. 
Allied to C. </ersc! of Java and C. inconcisa of Darjiling. Primaries varying from pale 
creamy sulphur-yellow to pale ochreous ; a few brown scales, indicating the commencement 
of an oblique band, between the cell and inner margin of the male, wholly absent from the 
primaries of the female : secondaries sericeous white, the abdominal area and fringe tinted 
with the colouring of the primaries : thorax distinctly ochreous or pale yellowish white ; 
abdomen greyish black, but the two or three basal segments of the male and all the segments 
of the female covered above with pale bufi" or whitish hair ; the centre and edges of the 
following segments in the male and the anal tuft ochreous. Under surface creamy white, 
centre of venter purplish black, anal tuft ochreous. Expanse of wings, J 38-41 millim., ?

TEISULOIDES, Butl. 
Trisuloides CEerulea. (Plate CXXVIII. fig. 3.) 
Primaries steel-grey, sericeous ; pattern almost identical with that of T. sericea, but the 
pale oblique belt beyond the middle more complete, with more distinct, grey, lunulated stripes 
across it ; the patch near external angle quite white, with the spots upon it grey ; secondaries
