 Crocid»pora phaeali* 9 |. plish and slightly irrorated with 



grey ; antemedial line represented by a diffused oblique whitish striga from 

 costa to median nervure ; a whitish patch on middle of costa ; traces of a black 

 discoidal lunule ; postmedial line very ill-defined, whitish, excurved at middle ; 

 subterminal line represented by some diffused whitish scales. Hindwing

4325. a. Homcesoma glaucochroa, n. sp. 



9. Head, thorax and abdomen grey tinged with brown ; palpi blackish 

 except at base. Forewing grey irrorated and in parts suffused with red-brown : 

 the 1st line almost medial, grey, excurved from costa to below cell, then slightly 

 angled inwards in submedian fold, a brown patch before it on inner area defined 

 by fuscous on inner side ; the 2nd line grey slightly defined on each side by 

 brown, excurved at middle ; a terminal series of rather elongate black points. 

 Hindwing semi-hyaline whitish, the terminal area tinged with brown ; cilia white 

 with a slight brown line near base. 



Forewing with veins 4*5 from cell ; hindwing with the cell very short, the 

 discocellulars oblique, veins 3 and 5 strongly stalked, 2 from angle. This species 

 will probably require a new genus when the male is discovered. 



Habitat.— Ceylon, Matale t^Pole). Erp. 12 mill. Type in B. M.
