1. Telphusa ochrifoliata, sp. n. (Tab. Il. fig. 15.) 
Antennae dark fuscous, annulate with pale ochreous. Palpr dark fuscous, sprinkled with pale ochreous ; the 
median joint above, and the apex of the terminal, pale ochreous. Head shining, steel-whitish. Thorax 
dark fuscous, with some ochreous scaling. Forewings purplish fuscous, blackish at the extreme base; 
with a large cream-ochreous leaf-like patch, commencing near the base, its upper edge touching the 
costa, its lower edge resting on the fold, and its outer extremity running to an outwardly pointed angle 
on the cell about the middle; this patch is narrowly margined, except on the costa, with black, and there 
are two black dots beyond it, one at each angle of the cell, with a few chestnut-brown scales between 
them; a pale cream-ochreous spot occurs at the commencement of the costal cilia; a smaller one, con- 
taining two black dots, on the termen below the apex; cilia fuscous, with some admixture of ochreous 
scales along the termen. Ewp.al.14mm. Hindwings grey, with a slight brownish tinge; cilia pale 
brownish grey. Abdomen fuscous. Legs pale cream-ochreous, banded with fuscous externally.

9. Telphusa melanoleuca, sp. n. 
Antennae black, with three white annulations about their middle; the basal joint white, with a black spot 
above on its outer half. Palpi stout, strongly recurved, the terminal joint longer than the median; 
black, the median joint with a white ring at each extremity, the terminal joint broadly ringed at its base, 
and narrowly before its apex, with white. Mead white above. T'horax black. Furewings brown-black, 
with an oblique white band leaving the costa at one-fifth, descending obliquely outward to the dorsum at 
one-fourth, and extending along it to the tornus, before and about which it throws up two angular 
encroachments upon the dark ground-colour, which almost divides them on the dorsum hefore the tornus ; 
in this white band, below the middle of the fold, is a shining bottle-green spot, preceded by dark raised 
scales on the basal patch, with two tufts of white raised scales on either side of the fold, one above the 
other ; beyond it a third patch of white raised scales lies above the fold, at the first upward angle of the 
white dorsal band; a small white costal streak-spot precedes the cilia and is followed by a series of four, 
reaching to the apex, below which is another which almost meets the last of the series; costal and apical 
cilia, except where interrupted by the white spots, brown-black ; terminal and tornal cilia dirty whitish ;
