One 9 from the Khasia Hills, November 1894. 



I have queried the genus of this insect, being a 9 . Moreover it differs in 

 neuration : vein 11 rises near cell from the common stem of 7, 10, 9, 8, which rise in 

 the order named. 



Subfamily SCOTOPTERYCIIXAE. 

 30. Catascia eolaria Guen. ab. fuscobrunnea ab. nov. 

 In this form the ground-colour of both wings above is dull rufous brown, without 

 any pale dusting. Underside as in the type-form. 

 One (S from Cherrapunji, October. 



In Fauna of British India, Vol. III. p. 253, Hampsou mentions a specimen of 

 this coloration.

 fascia springs, and the sixth before the apex, forming part of the submarginal shade ; 

 a similar marginal blotch opjiosite the cell; a blackish linear cell-spot; the whole 

 wing is sprinkled with shining scales, and above the anal angle are some yellowish

 than the hindwings. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One ? from Sikkim, June 1889 (Pilcher leg.). 



I have only seen two specimens of this insect, both ? and more or less worn. 

 It seems to be most nearly allied to thibelaria Oberth.
