INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 141 



by the black streak : cilia yellowish-white, with blackish bars in middle of 

 termen and at apex. Hind wings rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 



Khasi Hills, in June ; three specimens. The palpi are peculiar, but do not 

 seem here to be of more than specific value. 

 Erincea, n. g. 



Antennae in <£ stout, serrulate, pubescent. Palpi moderate, porrected, 

 second joint with expanded scales towardsapex. Thorax smooth. Forewings 

 in $ without fold, termen sinuate ; 3 and 4 curved and approximated 

 throughout, 5 absent, 7 and 8 stalked. Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked, 5 

 closely approximated at base, 6 and 7 closely approximated towards base. 

 Allied to Cydia but characterised by the peculiar neuration. 

 Erincea chlorantha, n. sp. 



$9. 17-21 mm. Head grey-whitish, sides mixed with blackish. Palpi 

 blackish-grey, apex of joints whitish. Thorax olive-greenish somewhat mixed 

 with whitish, on shoulders and posteriorly mostly suffused with black. Ab- 

 domen grey. Posterior tibia? in £ with brush of dense long projecting scales 

 on basal half beneath. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex 

 tolerably pointed, termen slightly sinuate, somewhat oblique ; pale grey or 

 whitish, irregularly mixed with olive-green ; markings purplish-grey or fuscous, 

 irregularly edged and mixed with blackish ; seven irregular costal spots, 

 first with an angulated streak extending to dorsum forming edge of basal 

 patch, second extended as an irregular fascia to dorsum before middle, thence 

 angulated upwards to disc beyond middle, and again downwards to near 

 tornus ; some small scattered variable black marks on costa and dorsum, and 

 in disc ; an irregular blotch towards apex : cilia whitish, somewhat mixed 

 with grey and olive-greenish. Hindwings grey ; cilia grey, with darker subbasal 

 line. 



Maskeliya, Ceylon, from December to April ; nine specimens (Pole, de

 sinuate, little oblique, rounded beneath ; ochreous-white, strigulated with 

 brown, grey, or dark fuscous, except on a broad undefined streak extending 

 from middle of dorsum to costa before apex, interstices of strigulation more or 

 less silvery or filled up with leaden-metallic, sometimes forming definite streaks 

 from costa ; ocellus long, narrow, broader upwards, margined laterally with 

 thick leaden-metallic streaks, and filled with six or seven irregular small black 

 spots, preceded on dorsum by a short erect leaden-metallic mark enclosed be- 

 tween two black streaks : cilia grey speckled with dark grey. Hindwings 

 rather dark grey ; cilia grey.
