ANOMCEOTES, Felder. 
Mr. Moore cousiders A. basalis the type o£ a distinct genus^ which he calls Akesina, but it 
corresponds almost exactly, in both colouring and structure, with a species of Anomuiotes 
which we have from Ambriz collected by the late Mr. Mouteiro ; the only differences in 
structure are that Akesina has slightly shorter wings, the upper discocellular veinlet of the 
primaries is a trifle longer and the minute terminal furcation of the second subcostal branch 
is wanting, thus practically reducing the number of subcostal branches from four to three. 
Anomceotes basalis. (Plate CXXI. fig. 9.) 
Akesina basalis, Moore, Proc. Zoo/. Soc. 18S8, p. 396. 
Wings hyaline ; the primaries, excepting the basi-internal area which is tinted with 
orange, grey; secondaries with the basal half orange, the external half grey; body orange- 
fulvous, antennfe brown. Under surface similar. Expanse of wings 28 millim.

? . Nearest to S. nydiu; the arrangement of the spots on the wings almost exactly 
tlie same, but the primaries and thorax pale pinky buff, the latter with a longitudinal black 
dorsal line ; secondaries much whiter than in 8. nydia ; abdomen orange-ochreous instead of 
carmine-red. Expanse of wings, 47 millim., $ 47-50 millim.

Spilarctia howqua. (Plate CXXII. fig. 3.) 
$ . Allied to S. coitfiisa, from which it difi'ers in its much whiter wings and thorax ; the 
postmedian series of spots on the primaries moi'C prominent and less sinuous ; the submarginal 
spots of the secondaries placed further from the outer margin, the first from the abdominal 
margin elongated so as to reach the outer margin near the anal angle ; the third and fourth 
less prominent ; the secondaries show no trace of the rosy colouring of S. confusa ; the 
abdomen has no dorsal series of spots, but this is often the case with S. confusa. On the
