Subfamily EPIPLEMINAE. 



36. Chaetoceras parvidens spec. nov. 



Forewing: dull greyish fawn-colour, of the same tint as Chm'tocerns cnxhiaia 

 (described as an Epiplema), with which it may be easily confounded ; lines often very 

 indistinct, but marked by black spots between veins, the two on the folds always 

 more distinct than the others ; the fonr spots from apex distinct ; cell-spot obscnre ; 

 fringe concolorous. 



Hindwing : with the lines also marked by spots, the outer ending in a doable 

 blotch on inner margin, as in casbiata, and with a pale cell-spot; but the outer 

 line is farther from outer margin, and the angle at 4 is therefore much more 

 obtuse ; the spot below lower tooth is a black dot only, not a spot with lustrous 

 scales, and not showing on the underside ; the teeth at veins 4, 6, 7 are quite 

 small and blunt. 



Underside of forewing grey, of hindwing whitish, both slightly black-speckled. 



Face and palpi blackish; thorax and patagia grey like wings; abdomen 

 paler, with a pair of black spots or a bar at base : vertex and antennal shaft 

 whitish. 



Expanse of wings: 35 mm.; one specimen expands only 30 mm.

37. Chaetoceras strigulosata spec. nov. 



Forewing: bone-colour, tinged with pale olive-grey except along the two folds, 

 and covered throughout with fine dark grey striae ; inner line marked only by a 

 Spot on submcdian fold ; traces of a double waved brown outer line at two-thirds, 

 not reaching above vein ; cell-spot black ; fringe ochraceons, with a slightly 

 darker marginal line at base ; three or four dark dots from apex to vein 4 before 

 margin ; costa thickly striated with dark-. 



Hindwing : less densely striated, especially in cell, and without the grey 

 tinge ; the double outer line acutely angled on vein 4 ; a black line from tooth 

 to tooth ; a brown streak into lower tooth with a dark spot at its base, preceded 

 by some lustrous scales ; a dark line on discocellular, ending at bottom in a 

 black spot, 



Underside cream-colour, with slight fine speckling, tinged with grey-brown 

 in forewing at base and along costa. 



Face and palpi black ; head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreotis, the dorsum 

 with a faint brownish tinge. 



Expanse of wings : 3D mm.

38. Chaetoceras striolata spec. nov. 



Forewing : like strigulosata, but larger, the ground-colour whiter, with a slight 

 brownish not greyish tinge, and striated with brown ; costa with a few striae ; 

 first line diffuse and obscure, with a brown spot on submedian fold; cell-spot 

 large, black ; the outer double line brown, the external arm thick, luuulate 

 dentate, separated by distinct white spaces between the veins from the diffuse 

 brown submarginal shade : three black submarginal spots from apex ; fringe 

 ochreous; the veins pale ochreous. 



Hindwing: as in strigulosata; but the grouad-eolour whiter, and the bands 

 and striae browner and more distinct.
