cilia pale whitish-ochreous, with a grey shade. 



Khasis, in July ; one specimen. 



Eboda ohstinata, n. sp. 



9- 13-14 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-fuscous sprinkled with blackish. 

 Palpi brownish-ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous. Abdomen grey. Fore- 

 wings elongate-cblong, costa abruptly arched near base, thence nearly straight, 

 apex rounded -obtuse, termen slightly rounded, somewhat oblique ; brownish- 

 ochreous ; markings deep ferruginous suffusedly mixed with dark fuscous and 

 a few black scales ; basal patch with outer edge oblique, sometimes nearly 

 obsolete dorsally, sometimes extended as a broad dark fuscous dorsal suffusion 

 to coalesce with central fascia : central fascia moderately broad, broadly con- 

 fluent in middle with large suffused costal patch ; a black and ferruginous 

 striga extends from costal patch to tornus, and another round apex anl upper 

 part of termen : cilia whitish-ochreous. Hindwings fuscous : cilia whitish- 

 ochreous with a fuscous shade. 



Puttalam, Ceylon, in November (Pole) ; two specimens. Vein 7 of forewings 

 terminates about the apex, but both in this species and smaragdinana the apex 

 is so obtusely rounded off as not to be exactly definable, therefore the termina- 

 tion of 7 should be treated as indefinite. 



Oxygrupha rapax, n. sp.

 mixed with blackish, extending to 3 of wing, marked with a pale yellowish dot 

 towards costa near base, and a large ridge of scales on its outer edge : cilia 

 fuscous. Hindwings very elongate-trapezoidal, fuscous ; cilia fuscous.

 Thorax whitish-greenish mixed with dark grey. Abdomen pale ochreous
