Antheua Peringueyi spec, nov. 1 
<$, $. Head and thorax with fuscous (xlvi) and white hairs almost equally 
mixed, so as to produce a dark grey colour when not viewed with a magnifying 
glass and of the same tint as the general colour of the forewings; abdomen 
avellaneous (xl) ; thorax in $ with a small tuft of scales on mesothorax ; fore 
wing whitish, rather densely irrorated with fuscous, especially at base and 
along costa; indications of a dentate fuscous medial line; a fuscous striga at end 
of cell; an outwardly dentate postmedial line, indistinct from costa to vein 7, 
then more distinct till vein 2, then indistinct; indications of a sub-terminal 
diffused irregular line ; a distinct zigzag terminal line ; cilia have general colour 
of fore wing. Hind wing light buff, distal part densely irrorated with fuscous 
and a medial line indicated by a fuscous irroration 
Under side: both wings whitish; fore wing with a rather dense fuscous 
shading between postmedial and sub-terminal lines, broad near costa where it 
has two small, white, oblique, strigae and gradually getting more narrow till 
it ceases beyond vein 2; hind wing with medial line indicated by a fuscous 
irroration; some fuscous irroration beyond it along costa till near tornus. 
Antennae bipectinated in $ till the tip; in $ simple; branches antimony- 
yellow (xv).

Antheua Mixta spec. nov. 
(PI. XIII, fig. 9.) 
Frons of head and thorax on under side apricot-yellow (iv) ; thorax 
above, hairs on palpi and legs on outer side marguerite-yellow (xxx), on palpi 
mixed with black hairs ; tibiae on inner side covered with black hairs mixed with 
white ; tarsi black ringed with white ; a stripe on each .side of thorax on upper side 
and hairs covering first segment of abdomen buff-yellow (iv), abdomen on 
upper side (except the last two segments, which are ringed black and buff- 
yellow) ochraceous-orange (xv); a lateral black line, checkered with whitish 
on abdomen ; abdomen white on under side ; branches of antennae ochraceous- 
orange. 
Fore wing white and with broad fasciae, consisting of black and fuscous 
(xlvi) scales which are thickly covered with marguerite-yellow hair-like scales, 
so as to give a greyish tinge to the fasciae; costal fascia from base to apex, 
as broad as from costa to a little below upper median and having a whitish 
fascia between veins 7 and 8; second dark fascia from discocellulars to outer 
margin and filling the whole space from costal fascia between veins 5 to 7; 
a short, triangular terminal fascia of ground colour between veins 5 and 6; 
third fascia from base of wing to outer margin, joining the costal fascia 
till well beyond base and forming a straight edge in cell above the lower 
median, then along vein 4 for half that vein, then above vein 4 to outer 
margin ; lower edge is well below lower median and vein 2 and parallel to discal
