308 HETEROCERA. 
2. Brenthia ocellata, sp. n. 
Antennae brownish fuscous, with faint paler annulations toward the base. Palpi whitish, the median joint 
with a blackish spot outside at the base, and a blackish bar before its apex ; terminal joint with a black 
line along its outer side throughout. Head greyish brown. Thorax dark brownish fuscous, the tegulae 
with two slender white lateral lines. Forewings dark brownish fuscous, sprinkled with dirty whitish, 
especially in a transverse band pointing snward from the costa at one-fourth, having some blue and 
reddish iridescent metallic scales at its costal extremity; and in a broader band across the middle, 
composed of broken whitish reticulation, and throwing out a shining, pointed, projection of blue and 
lilac scales from its upper extremity beneath the costa ; the outer third of the wing, which is somewhat 
darker than the remainder, contains a conspicuous, shining, white spot and a row of partially coalescing 
iridescent blue and lilac spots along the termen and around the apex; cilia brownish fuscous at their 
pase, brownish’ grey on their outer half, a few at the apex being tipped with white. Hap. al. 12-13 mm. 
Hindwings brownish fuscous, a band of bright rosy blue around the apex, preceded by an oblique streak 
of the same pointing inward from the costa, with a small metallic median spot below its inner extremity ; 
a cloudy whitish patch descends obliquely outward from the costa near the base, and a straight silvery 
white bar, from the dorsum near the flexus, extends to vein 6 between the cell and the termen—this 
bar whitens the dorsal cilia, another white streak running through them obliquely from the lower end of 
the apical metallic band; between these white patches the cilia are dark brownish fuscous. Abdomen 
dark brownish fuscous, with a slender whitish transverse bar below the middle. Legs alternately 
banded with white and dark brownish fuscous.

3. Brenthia bicaudella, sp. n. 
Antennae dark brownish fuscous, spotted with white. Palpi whitish, tipped with fuscous. Head brownish 
grey. Thorax brownish fuscous, with two slender, longitudinal, steel-green metallic lines meeting in a 
spot at the back ; underside silvery white. Forewings dark brownish fuscous, with a large, oblong, snow- 
white spot across the end of the cell, and another on the dorsum a little before the middle; at the base 
are two shining steel-blue metallic spots, just below the costa; a short steel-green streak from near the 
base beneath them, and another between this and the dorsum ; beyond the outer of the subcostal spots 
is a larger metallic blue spot, just below the middle of the costa, an outwardly curved band of the same 
colour lying beyond the white discal spot, but not quite touching the costa or dorsum ; before the apex is 
a short blue metallic streak; cilia dark brown on their basal half, shining brownish grey on their outer 
half, with a white spot at their apex. xp. al. 9-11 mm. Hindwings slightly paler brownish fuscous 
than the forewings, with an elongate snow-white discal spot, followed by a broad lilac-blue metallic band, 
running straight from near the apex to a little below the flexus; there is a white spot on the costa 
before the apex, and another in the brown cilia at the apex, while in the terminal cilia are two inwardly 
oblique white dashes, giving to the intervening brown spaces in the cilia a singular caudate appearance— 
the cilia on the flexus are also white. Abdomen dark brownish fuscous ; underside silvery white. Legs 
banded alternately with dark brownish fuscous and silvery white.
