by the exaggeration of the red suffusion; in punctulata also the dark striation is more pronounced and the 
stigmata clearer. Larva varying from green to brown, freckled with darker; the lines obscure; dorsal 
hue almost lost in a dark clouding; subdorsal lines plainer with diffuse upper edge; lateral and spir- 
acular lines white. 
S. corrugata Hmps. (13 b). Forewing pale brownish ochreous with slight black irroration, and corrugafa. 
rufous suffusion at end of cell; inner line marked by black points on the veins; outer minutely crenulate, 
indistinct, with black dots on the veins at ends of teeth; terminal black points below apex only; a small 
elliptical white spot at lower angle of cell beneath an ill-defined yellowish discoidal spot; hindwing ochreous 
whitish, suffused with fuscous in centre and terminally. Described from a $ from Kau Mt., Simla, Pun¬ 
jab, N. India. 
S. denticula Hmps. (13 c). Forewing ochreous white flushed with rufous and with dark irro- dcnticuia. 
ration; inner line brownish, with fuscous points on the veins, obliquely sinuous from costa to submedian 
fold and angled inwards on vein 1; outer line brown with black points on veins, obscurely lunulate den¬ 
tate; a slight triangular shade on termen below apex; orbicular stigma a small black brown spot, the 
reniform larger, subquadrate; hindwing brown, the costa and fringe ochreous white. Ceylon. 
S. lineatissima Warr. (13b). Forewing ochreous grey with numerous black speckles; the veins lineatts- 
all finely white, the intervals with rufous grey lines; median vein white in outer half, thickening to- sima - 
wards end of cell, where it is slightly hooked, preceded by a minute dark dot, and followed by dark 
scaling on each side of vein 4 at base; the orbicular and reniform stigmata diffusely yellowish; lines 
marked, as usual, by blackish veinspots; a pale yellowish space above vein 1 from base to inner line; 
a diffuse pale streak from apex, with a dark terminal triangle beyond it above vein 4; a row of minute 
dark terminal dots; fringe cut by the alternate dark and light lines; hindwing blackish fuscous, with 
black terminal dots; fringe white with a grey line beyond middle. A large species, described from a single 
$ from Darjiling, Sikkim. 
S. pastea Hmps. (13 b). <$. Forewing ochreous washed with rufous in places and thickly dotted -pastea. 
with black, especially in terminal area; lines indistinct; the subbasal and inner marked by a black 
costal dot; the outer double, interruptedly lunulate dentate; the veins slightly marked with white; orbi¬ 
cular stigma fuscous, small and round; reniform large with a pale centre; a slight dark shade from reni¬ 
form to termen, along which it expands towards apex, where there is a small pale spot; another slight 
dark shade from below orbicular running along vein 2 to termen; costa with numerous black dots; a 
row of small black dots along termen between veins; fringe ochreous with a dark dividing line and 
rayed with brown; hindwing dark grey, paler basewards, with the fringe pale; the $ is duller, being 
more suffused with grey. Khasia Hills. 
S. inquinata spec. nov. (13 c). Forewing pale whitish ochreous stained with rufous brown, partially inquinata. 
in the <$, wholly in the $ except in terminal area; inner line marked by black dots on costa and veins, 
excurved between, more strongly marked on submedian fold; outer line double, interruptedly lunulate 
dentate, the teeth and the lunules marked by black spots on and between the veins; orbicular stigma 
a round black spot; reniform large and black; a broad black shade from it along vein 5 to termen, 
along which it thins off towards apex; another, somewhat browner, streak runs below vein 2 to termen; 
terminal spots black; fringe ochreous with dark rays; hindwing blackish fuscous, paler towards base; 
a dark cell spot; fringe white; underside ochreous washed with rufous and sprinkled with dark atoms; 
cellspots large and black; a black spot at costa at beginning of outer line; a diffuse dark shade from reni¬ 
form to termen in forewing and terminal cloud in hindwing; head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous, 
dusted with black and washed in places with bright rufous. The types, a <$ and £, from the Khasia 
Hills, Assam, in the Tring Museum. Allied to pastea Hmps. but a much brighter insect. 
S. perirrorata spec. nov. (13 c). Forewing greyish ochreous with a faint tinge of brown, and densely perirrorata. 
speckled and striated with blackish; lines very ill-defined; the inner marked by black dots on veins; 
the outer by a double row; the subterminal by a dark cloud beyond cell; reniform an ill-defined fuscous 
cloud, darker at lower end; minute black terminal dots; fringe concolorous, rayed with brown; hindwing 
fuscous with base paler; fringe white; underside pale ochreous, speckled with dark in costal areas; outer 
line dusky, marked in forewing by a dark costal spot, and obscurely dentate lunulate, in hindwing with 
dark dashes on veins; a black cellspot in hindwing only; head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous without 
speckling. The type, a $ from the Khasia Hills, in Tring Museum. 
S. yu Guen. (— exempta Walk., costalis Moore) (13 c). Forewing ochreous white dusted with dark yu. 
atoms; the cell defined below and beyond extremity by rufous suffusion; inner line obscure, obliquely 
waved from costa to submedian fold, and angled inwards on vein 1; outer line obscure, lunulate dentate,
