forming complete lines ; three others near base and one submarginal from costa 

 to middle are also generally plain ; the rest are broken up into short transverse 

 dashes ; the median vein throughout and the snbmedian in part are finely yellow; 

 at the anal angle is a small grey patch on the blackish suffusion ; fringe rnfons 

 grey, with a slender pale basal line, the basal half darker than the apical. 



Hind/ring : with the median vein yellow, and all the streaks partially 

 fractured ; inner margin and fringe conspicuously pale ochreons. 



Underside uniform dnll brownish ochreous, with the streaks fine and pale ; 

 costa of forewing red at base ; outer half of fringe darker brown. 



Pectus, front of forelegs, palpi, head, and prothorax fiery orange ; patagia, 

 metathorax, and dorsum shaded with brown ; dorsum with a yellow red-edged 

 central line. 



Expanse of wings 24 — 28 mm.

28. Striglina metallifera spec. nov. 



Forewing : dull greyish fulvous, crossed by curved series of darker spots 

 between veins bearing specks of shining metallic scales, the veins themselves 

 slightly paler ; costa diffusely smoky grey-brown ; fringe concolorous, with minute 

 metallic dots at end of the veins. 



Hindwing : similar, but the area above snbmedian fold with a diffuse black 

 cloud, the inner margin below it and the fringe pale glossy ochreous ; in one 

 example the black cloud is absent. 



Underside pale ochreous, the spots hardly visible, except below costa of 

 forewing, and the marginal dots. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen greyish fulvous ; anal half of dorsum blackish 

 in the examples which have the black cloud on the hindwing. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.

Allied to S. scintillans, but of quite different coloration. 



29. Striglina nigripuncta spec. nov. 



S. Forewing : greyish straw-colour ; costa with five brown spots, increasing 

 in size and depth of colour towards apex ; from the third a curved irregularly 

 edged olive-grey central band descends ; the fourth and fifth are confluent below 

 costa, giving rise to an interrupted submarginal band ; the whole wing is crossed 

 by slight grey and brown reticulations ; fringe concolorous. 



Hindwing : with the submarginal band narrower but plainer and continuous, 

 edged by darker reticulations ; above the anal angle in snbmedian interval is a 

 round black spot. 



Underside with the dark markings much clearer. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen straw-colour ; palpi dark brown. 



? greyer, especially towards outer margin ; the costal spots grey instead of 

 brown, and the fasciae broken up; a straight grey-brown bar from apex to two-fifths 

 of inner margin, where it is somewhat broader, continued across hindwing at one- 

 third from base ; the black spot above anal angle as in the <5 ; the markings of 

 the underside inconspicuous. 



Expanse of wings: (J, 38mm.; ?, 44mm.
