127. Onagrodes recurva spec nov. 



Forewing : snuff-brown ; towards base and along costa and outer margin 

 broken up by brownish buff scales ; along costa there are visible oblique streaks 

 of brown with broader pale intervals ; at one-fourth and two-thirds there are traces 

 of darker dentate lines, the first obscurely curved to two-fifths of inner margin, the 

 outer oblique to vein 6, then incurved to two-thirds of inner margin ; submarginal 

 pale and waved ; cell-spot brown. 



Hindwing : with outer margin broadly and inner margin more narrowly 

 snuff-brown ; the area within smooth dull blurred grey, containing an oval patch 

 of mealy ochreons scales. 



Underside of forewing pale brown in costal half, with the lines obscurely 

 darker ; dark brown below middle, with an oval patch of ochreons scales between 

 veins 1 and 2 : hindwing brown, crossed by some pale lines, and with indications 

 of the pale patch of npperside. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen all snuff-brown. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



1 <?. 



All the wings have a tendency to curve upwards along the outer margins, 

 so that the short fringes are at right angles to the plane of the wing. 



128. Spectrobasis differens spec. nov. 



Forewing : olive-fuscous, not so dark as in maligna ; the costa, as in that 

 species, green for one-third from base, then pink with dark streaks ; submarginal 

 line not visible, but on the other hand the two lines edging the central fascia 

 traceable ; fringe whitish, pink only along base, mottled with black. 



Hindwing : uniform fuscous, with the bauds of underside hardly showing ; 

 fringe fnscons. 



Underside of forewing like maligna, but paler ; the costa in <$ tinged with 

 yellowish-ochreous as well as red : hindwing in $ with the antemedi.-tn band 

 narrower and better defined ; the base of postmedian white to middle ; the 

 submarginal formed of separate white wedge-shaped marks ; costa yellowish 

 ochreous ; in ? more or less overrun with red ; the bauds less marked, with 

 a reddish central line, the outer one yellowish. 



Face, vertex, and patagia green, and the thorax also greenish, not velvety 

 black ; abdomen paler, ochreous with black dusting ; antennae fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm.

The larger ? mentioned iu the description of S. viridis, Nor. Zool. xiii. p. 103, 

 belongs to this species. 



129. Spectrobasis maligna spec. nov. 



Forewing : dull greenish fuscous on a pinkish ground, the pink only showing 

 along costa and towards apex ; costal edge with black streaks, the beginning of the 

 lines, separated by pinkish intervals ; the costal space above subcostal vein reddish 

 at base, then green to one-third; lines hardly traceable across wing below subcostal 

 vein, except the submarginal, which is waved and pinkish below costa : in one 

 specimen the veins towards margin and the extreme margin itself are reddish ; 

 fringe pink, with distinct black mottling. 



Hindwing : fnscons, with obscurely paler antemedian and postmedian bands
