and one on the median vein near the base, another one at the cell-end. Cross-vein white inside, black 
outside. Exterior line darker, faded, slightly excurved. A dark oblique streak at the apex. Hindwing grev, 
a brownish submarginal band. $ 42 mm. Honshu. 
P. meleagris Hoidb. (85 d). Uniformly glossy dark grey. An interior and exterior band, 1 mm broad, 
indistinct. Ring-macula and reniform macula white. Numerous white dots on the veins. 42 mm. Described 
from Ta-tsien-lu. Pen-schin-ling Pass, Upper Burma. 2500 m. 
9. Genus : Polyploca Hbn. 
Separated from Palimpsestis by the hairy eyes. The third segment of the abdomen with a hair-tuft. 
Type: ridens F. from Europe. 
P. albidisca Warr., from the Penjab, has been dealt with inVol. II, p. 329 and pi. 49 i; it is recogniz¬ 
able by the narrow brightened median area, dubia Warr. is probably the same. 
P. solena Swh. Body brownish-grey. Fore wing silvery grey, median area with a red-brown hue and 
enclosing 2 dark double lines almost meeting below the cell. Exterior line straight, almost vertical. Before 
the apex there is a whitish ochreous costal spot from which an indistinct dentate sub marginal line proceeds. 
Hindwing blackish-brown with a light median band. 40 mm. Khasia Hills. 
P. bifasciata Hmps. Silvery greyish-white. Forewing with a faded smoky brown interior and exterior 
band, the former being somewhat notched, the other slightly excurved in the middle. A fine oblique apical 
streak. 36 mm. Sikkim. 
P. galema Sivh. Thorax dark brown. Ground-colour pale brown. The interior line of the forewing is 
double, obliquely excurved, filled with dark at the costal margin, the base darker. A black round spot in 
the centre of the cell is surrounded by a strongly notched median line. Exterior line double, slightly curved, 
undulate, also filled with dark at the costal margin. Besides 2 indistinct undulate submarginal lines. A 
black oblique streak from the apex. Hindwing dark brown. 44 mm. Khasia Hills. 
P. polychromata limps. Body and forewing pale brown, dusted with red-brown and smoke-brown. 
Bright yellow scales below the base of the cell, rusty red behind it. Interior band composed of 3 twice 
curved lines. A square white spot at the centre of the inner margin. A bright yellow band at vein 2. Cross¬ 
vein black, bright rusty yellow behind it. Numerous indistinct dark lines in the distal area. From the apex 
a black oblique streak and a dentate white submarginal line. Hindwing greyish-brown. 34 mm. Sikkim. 
P. aenea Wilem. Thorax brown. Forewing pale bronze brown, with a slight gloss, with a black spot 
at the base. Interior line double, black, slightly bent. Median line double, finer, bent in the middle, angled 
above the inner margin where we see a wiiite spot. Exterior line meeting the median line at the inner 
margin. Submarginal line pale, undulate, beginning with a wiiite spot. Maculae indistinct. Hindwing pale 
brown. 38—40 mm. Formosa. 
10. Genus: Jileiiiacerola Hmps. 
Antennae thin. Palpi delicate, projecting beyond frons. Fore wing oblong. Vein 6 from the cell-angle, 
7 + 8 and 9 + 10 stalked. Vein 5 of hindwing from the centre of the cross-vein, 3 + 4 on a long stalk. 
Type: cinerea Wkr. 
N. cinerea Wkr. Pale grey, with a slight pink tinge, brownish at the base. Interior and exterior lines 
double, black. Abdomen and hindwing pale grey. 36 mm. Penjab. 
N. alternata Mr. (85 d). Thorax and forewing light reddish-brown. Interior and exterior lines composed 
of dark red-brown small spots. Median area lighter. Hindwing pale brown. 40—42 mm. Sikkim. 
11. Genus: Plusinia nov.gen. 
Palpi short, porrect, densely haired, last joint bare. Antennae of $ thick. Forewing very broad, 
apex sharp. Vein 5 somewhat remote from 4, 6 close at the upper cell-angle; 7, 8 and 9 from the apex of 
the areola. Veins 8 and 9 once more approaching each other later on, almost forming a second areola, 10 from 
the anterior margin of the areola. Vein 5 of hindwdng also somewhat remote from 4, 6 and 7 much less 
separated, 8 for a longer distance than usual closely approaching 7. 
PI. aurea nov. spec. (85 d). Fore wing golden yellow, somewhat brownish in the interior part of the 
costal margin and at the distal margin. Lines rusty brown, interior line rectangularly broken at the base
