PAECTES. By M. Gaede. 
cristatrix. P. cristatrix Gn. (33 c). Body olive brown with greyish white scales. Forewing olive brown, greyer at 
the apex. A black line from the cell-margin to vein 1, from where it extends not vertically but hook-like to 
the inner margin, a flesh-coloured triangle above it. The white band within the black exterior line somewhat 
flesh-coloured and with fine pink lines. The exterior line descends steeply towards the inner margin. Submarginal 
line similar to that of the preceding psaliphora. Hindwing light brown, whitish below the cell. 30—32 mm. 
India, Tonkin, Java, New Guinea. 
euphiles. P. euphtles E. Front (31 e). Similar to cristatrix. More purely olive brown, not olive grey, at the costal margin 
behind the interior and exterior lines; the pink colouring lighter, especially behind the submarginal line and in 
the indentation of the exterior line. The black interior line somewhat more bent than in cristatrix , the exterior 
line more curved also at the apex and almost vertical to the inner margin. A brown spot in the submedian fold 
before the submarginal line almost as dark as the exterior line. Hindwing not different. 27—30 mm. Sumatra, 
Borneo. We figure a 9 from Perak, which may be this species, although the description of the marginal area is 
somewhat different, since the space behind the submarginal line is olive brown, not pink. 
variegata. P. variegata Roeplce also resembles cristatrix (33 c). The light spot above the base on the forewing is 
narrow and long. The area close behind the steep exterior line at the inner margin light, striped above it. 33 mm. 
1 2 from Sumatra. 
Icucotrigona. P. Ieucotrigona Hmps. (33 c) is distinguished by the beautiful ochreous colour. Body reddish brown. 
A white spot below the cell near the base is bordered with a double red-brown line. Exterior line double, red- 
brown, beginning far outside, excurved almost to the distal margin, inward at vein 5, then parallel to the distal 
margin, ochreous before it. Lilac brown behind it. Hindwing brownish Avhite, dark at the margin, with a light 
band. 34 mm. Only 1 $ known, from Borneo. 
cyanodes. P. cyanodes Trnr. (33 c). Recognizable by the intense bluish grey tint. Thorax somewhat bluish, ab¬ 
domen pale brown. Forewing bluish grey, brownish at the costal margin. Interior line black, introangular at 
vein 1, a short yellowish white spot above it. A black dot at the lower cell-angle. Exterior line double in front, 
blackish, from vein 5 more steeply to the inner margin, white inside. Behind it in all the New Guinea specimens 
as far as the margin between veins 3 and 5 olive brown. Before the exterior line a parallel thin dark line from 
vein 5 to the inner margin. Submarginal line dentate, rather indistinct. Hindwing brown, bluish white at the 
anal angle. Described according to 1 £ from Queensland. We figure 1 $ from New Guinea. 
poliotis. P. poliotis Hmps. (33 d) is more brownish than cyanodes.’ The interior line extends here in the submedian 
fold, a yellowish white spot above and below it. Exterior line from vein 7 black, distinct. A grey spot at the 
distal margin in front. Traces of a dentate submarginal line. Hindwing brown, paler at the base and inner margin, 
a faded light spot at the anal angle. In the 2> the exterior line is less distinct at the inner margin. 26—28 mm. 
Singapore. 
coslistrigata. P. costistrigata B.-Bak. (33 c). Conspicuous by the dark colouring and the blackish spot at the base of 
the wing, where the allied species have a light spot. Forewing red-brown, the basal spot with a leaden grey 
lustre, somewhat blackish at the costal margin, bluish grey before the apex. Somewhat yellowish behind the 
black basal spot, then follows the fine red-brown interior line, incurved in the submedian fold, beginning far in 
front below the costal margin. The ring-macula is a rusty red dot, the reniform macula a luna. The double 
exterior line rather indistinct owing to the dark ground, as usual, but in the curve much more distant from the 
distal margin, somewhat extra-angular at vein 2 and behind it a bluish dark spot at the inner margin. An in¬ 
distinct parallel line before it. Submarginal line white in front, dentate, then brownish, dentate, indistinct. 
Hindwing yellowish, broadly dark at the margin, white at the anal angle. In a less well preserved 2 the black 
basal spot is only insignificant. The yellow scales before the interior line, which are quite indiscernible in the 
original figure, form a regular spot. 30—32 mm. New Guinea. 
pratti. P. pratti B.-Bak. (33 d). Body pale brownish. Forewing greyish white, brown at the base at the costal 
margin. Interior line double, dark, incurved below the cell, where it is wood-coloured yellow. Ring-macula and 
reniform macula dark, edged with light, both luniform. The median line is more distinct than usual, far excurved 
behind the cell and then dentate. Exterior line double, black, distinct from the costal margin, the angle at vein 
2 somewhat stronger than in costistrigata. The indentation in my specimens (22) is filled with brown. Sub¬ 
marginal line white as far as vein 4, then yellowish brown. Hindwing brownish. 30—35 mm. New Guinea. 
fabrica. P. fabrica Swh. (33 d). Very similar to pratti, greyer. Lilac brown at the inner margin of the forewing 
at the base and behind the exterior line. Interior line below the cell black, double. Two black dots surrounded 
by white at the cross-vein. Median line before the reniform macula, undulate, dark. The double exterior line 
indistinct at the costal margin, otherwise as in pratti. Submarginal line fine white, edged with lilac brown inside, 
also outside so at the apex. Hindwing somewhat darker than in pratti. 36 mm. Presumably only 1 2 known, 
from Perak. 
subapicalis. P. subapicalis Wkr. (-- recurrens Wkr.) (33 d) has a similar double interior black line, though less deve¬ 
loped, bent like the exterior line. Greyish brown. The median area on the forewing and the distal margin in
