P. ozarbica Hmps. (26 1). Forewing dark red brown suffused with purplish grey; an oblique median ozarMca. 
shade and the terminal area more chocolate red; inner line indistinct, double, excurved slightly below costa, 
then oblique; a black discoidal bar; outer line double, filled in with with ochreous white, angled outwards 
below costa, then oblique with an ochreous white band on its outer side; a black point before it on discal fold; 
subterminal line slight, pale, incurved below vein 3; hindwing brown tinged with grey. A South Indian insect, 
occurring at Belgaum and in the Nilgiri Hills, Madras, and Pirmaad, Travancore. 
P. reducta spec. nov. (26 1). Like ozarbica, but smaller; the basal and terminal areas redder; the median reducla. 
fascia narrower and darker, marked with black across submedian fold; the pale band beyond it broader. 1 d 
1 $ from Bombay. Type in Tring Museum. 
101. Genus: MicaiMlia Bllr. 
Tongue present; frons smooth; palpi upturned, the second segment somewhat broadly scaled at ex¬ 
tremity, the third short and pointed; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests; antennae of d la¬ 
mellate, generally cpiite shortly ciliated; fore wing elongate, the costa arched, apex prominent, subacute, the 
termen obliquely curved; neuration normal. Type M. argentata Btlr. 
M. pulcherrima Moore (26 1). Eorewing ochreous whitish; the costal area to beyond middle and the pulcherrima. 
inner marginal area tinged with fiery red; the costal edge olive brown; the cell and area below it as far as sub¬ 
median fold olive brown, extending obliquely from end of cell to apical part of costa, where it becomes more ruf¬ 
ous; a slight black streak in base of submedian fold; a minute black streak on vein 1 before middle; a sil¬ 
very white fascia above terminal half of median vein, defined by black and acute at its extremities; two obscure 
blackish discoidal spots; traces of a dark median line from submedian fold to inner margin, angled inwards 
on vein 1; the brown area defined below by an oblique silvery white streak towards apex; an oblique diffuse 
brown fascia from termen below vein 5 to submedian fold beyond middle; a terminal series of black points; 
fringe redbrown; hindwing ochreous white ; an indistinct blackish cellspot and faint outer line excurved beyond 
cell, then incurved; black terminal points. Sikkim, and Bhutan, N. India. 
M. pulchra Btlr. (26 1). Forewdng olive dusted with darker; the median area forming a dark olive brown pulchra. 
patch mixed with rosy scales from costa between the stigmata; inner line whitish, clear only from costa to 
orbicular stigma; the outer, more broadly whitish at costa, curves obliquely outwards to vein 6, then runs sinuous 
inwards to inner margin, followed below the angle by a thick rosy line; orbicular and reniform stigmata large, 
rosy, with paler edges; between the outer line and apex a chestnut brown triangular costal patch; a whitish 
slightly sinuous subterminal line; terminal line fine, interrupted, formed of black scales; fringe pale olive, 
showing beyond middle of wing two dark lines; hindwdng dark brownish grey, the fringe paler. A Japanese 
and Corean species recorded by Hampson from Ceylon also. 
102. Genus: Ceratostrotia gen. nov. 
Differs from Eustrotia in the antennae of the d being shortly bipectinate to apex. Type 0. melanchlaena 
Swinh.

ed by the double inner line filled in with grey and somewhat sinuous; orbicular stigma pale and round; the reni- lacna - 
form a slight pale lunule; an indistinct curved median line; outer line double filled in with whitish, slightly 
bent outwards below costa and angled inwards on cell fold, incurved below vein 4, followed by a whitish band; 
subterminal line pale, indistinct; hindwing greyish brown; in a form from Belgaum, Madras — subsp. rubi- rubidafa. 
data subsp. nov. ■— the forewing is much redder, without any grey tinge. Recorded from the Punjab, Bombay, 
and Madras. 
103. Genus: ISarastrotia gen. nov. 
Differs from Eustrotia in having the mid and hind tibiae of the d fringed on the outer side with long 
hair, and a fringe of hair on the underside of hindwing along median vein. Type B. metalophota Hmps.
