undulate, less bent and steeper than in alternans. Submarginal line white, fine, dentate. Hindwing greyish 
brown. 18—20 mm. India, Ceylon, Malacca, New Guinea. 
5. Genus: Pataeta Wkr. 
Palpi relatively highly erected. Antennae of E almost plain. Thorax with a flat tuft behind, another 
tuft on the first abdominal segment. Neuration normal. The genus contains but 2 species, both easily recogniz¬ 
able by the almost black forewings, with an indistinct marking. Type: carbo Gn. 
P. carbo Gn. (32 g). Body and forewing lustrous bluish black. Interior line black, double, somewhat carlo. 
angular, vertical, another parallel line before it. Ring-macula small, black. Reniform macula yellowish brown, 
narrow. A fine black median line from the reniform macula to the inner margin. Exterior line double, straight 
behind the cell, somewhat inwardly removed above and below it. A less distinct double line behind it. Traces 
of a pale submarginal line. Hindwing white, lustrous, blackish at the margin. 30—34 mm. New Guinea, 
Australia. 
P . conspicienda Wkr. (= corvina Sn.) (32 g). According to the figure of corvina, as dark as carbo. Owing conspici- 
to the darkness, the differences are scarcely discernible, conspicienda has 2 double interior lines on the forewing 
and the median line proceeds from the upper edge of the reniform macula, forms a bend and touches it once 
more below. 30—34 mm. Australia. 
6. Genus: Plilegetonia Gn. 
Palpi more densely haired than in Eutelia. Antennae of E typically serrate and tufted. Thorax and 
abdomen tuftless. Half of the species are Indian, half African. Type: catephioides Gn. from Africa. The species 
are very similar to the Eutelia. 
1. Antennae of finely serrate and tufted. Forewing oblique at the 
distal margin, undulate below vein 3. 
Ph. kebeae B.-Bak. (= albicomma B.-Bak.) (31 b). The $ is dark red-brown on the body. Forewing kebeae. 
blackish brown, bluish grey in the marginal area. Interior line fourfold, black, with brownish ochreous scales 
between. The ring-macula is a white dot edged with black, the reniform macula greyish olive, narrow, edged 
with black. Median line oblique, reddish yellow. Exterior line black, threefold, somewhat undulate, excurved 
as far as behind the cell, the exterior branch edged with yellow in front. A triangular blackish brown spot above 
the exterior line at the costal margin. Submarginal line black, edged with ochre outside. Hindwing dark brown, 
yellowish at the base. Forewing of E with the interior lines more distinctly filled with yellow. The triangular 
spot at the costal margin edged with white, a bluish white spot behind it. The last branch of the exterior line 
edged with wdiite outside. A large white comma-spot between veins 2 and 1. Base of hindwing whiter. 28 mm. 
New Guinea. 
Ph. apicifascia Hmps. (= dinawa B.-Bak.) (32 g). Body pale red-brown. Forewing brown with a violet apicifascia. 
reflection. Interior line white, -extra-angular below the costal margin, broadly edged with dark below' the cell 
outside. The ring-macula is a white oblique streak, edged with dark. Reniform macula dark, somewdiat 8 shaped, 
a thick yellowish white luniform spot behind it, below which a dark oblique median band begins. Exterior line 
white, outward as far as vein 5, then inward, edged with dark at the costal margin on both sides, white from it 
to the median band. A dark triangle behind the exterior line at the costal margin, broadly edged with white. 
Submarginal line dentate, white. Hindwing reddish brown, lighter at the base. — In dinawa B.-Bak. the white dinawa. 
luniform spot behind the reniform macula is absent. The dark triangle at the cotal margin red-brown. 24 to 
28 mm. India, Ceylon, Malacca, Philippines, Bali, New Guinea, dinawa is from New Guinea, but there are also 
apicifascia before me from that island. — A specimen from Malang (Java) is before me, in which the white 
ring-macula has disappeared, the white or rusty yellow Inna behind the reniform macula being also absent, the 
brightening before the exterior line being hardly discernible. All this similar to Hampson's figure in Cat. Lep. 
Phal. Br. Mus., not to Semper’s figure. 
Ph. atribasalis Hmps. Body red-brown. Forewing grey and red-brown at the base, obliquely cut off atribasalis. 
outside, a greenish white shadow behind it, then like the base, brown only at the anal angle. Interior line double, 
black. The ring-macula is a white, black-edged dot, the reniform macula narrow, greenish, a black double line 
from it to the inner margin. Exterior line threefold, filled with white, outward as far as behind the cell. A tri¬ 
angular subapical spot, blackish brown, edged with white, the white submarginal line proceeding from it, with 
a black dot inside at vein 5. Hindwing brown. 28 mm. 1 $ from the Bismarck Archipelago. 
2. ( Targalla). Antennae of E almost plain and laminated. 
Ph. albiceps Hmps. (= picticolor Hmps., ioda Swh.) (32 i). Body dark red-brown. Forewing reddish albiceps. 
yellow. Interior line fourfold, dark, inward, the filling somewhat greenish. Reniform macula red-brown, with 
a pale ring. Median line fine, proceeding from the upper edge of the reniform macula, then touching it below
