( Hi) J 



Hindtvings: i^aler, without dark dusting except along inner margin, witli the 

 second hand of forewings represented very faintly ; fringes red. 



Head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings; face dull olive-red. 

 Underside mainly dull brick-red or orange-red ; the base and inner margin of forewings 

 cinereous; the second band in both wings black, as well as the marginal blotch on 

 forewings ; fringe of forewings blackish at base, of hiudwings with a fine black 

 basal line. 



Expanse of wings : 56 mm. 



One 5> from the Khasias. 



47. Lobogonia olivata sp. nu\-. 



Forewings: pale silvery green, suffused iu parts with olive-green, and dusted 

 with very fine dark atoms; costa whitish, with numerous irregular blackish frecklings ; 

 lines thick, olive-fuscous ; first at one-third of costa to one-third of inner margin: 

 second from two-thirds of costa to inner margin just before anal angle, [jarallel to 

 first line ; both lines nearly straight, and edged internally with pale whitish green, 

 which gradually deepens into olive towards base ; hiudmargin likewise whitish green, 

 deepening into olive outside the second line ; a small round black spot near hiudmargin 

 ojiposite the cell; a small dark cell-speck on discocellular ; fringe pale green, but 

 dark olive-fuscous in the curve between apex and central prominence, and again 

 between it and anal angle. 



Ilindwings ; pale shining whitish, speckled with faint green, with a bent fuscous 

 olive line at two-thirds and a faint darker cell-sjiot ; fringe pale ochreous. 



Head and thorax olive-green ; abdomen silvery grey. Underside dull yellowisli 

 ochreous, mottled with fuscous ; the forewing mostly suffused with cinereous. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



A few from the Khasias. 



Hypocometa gen. nov. 



Allied to Phthonoloba Warr. ; like that genus, with neither wing distorted or 

 excised ; agreeing also in the antennae and palpi, and in the neuration of forewings ; 

 vein 10 anastomoses with 11, and then with 8, 9, to form a double areole. The points 

 of difference from Phthonoloba are twofold : the hind tibiae of c? are without spurs, 

 and instead of the femorotibial tuft have a thick short brush of dark scales at the 

 junction of the tibia and tarsus; secondly, in the S hindwing one of the median 

 nervules is wanting, presumably the second. 



Type : Hypocometn claada sp. nov. 



48. Hypocometa clauda sp. nov. 

 Forewings : bright green or whitish green, with black vvavcd and dcntatcd linos; 

 fifteen can be counted ; of these the first is basal ; 2 and 8 are confused together liv 

 black scaling, forming a fascia ; 4 is thick, 5 very slender ; G and 7 form a fasciaform 

 edge internally to the central fascia; 8, 9, 10, 11 are fine and subdeutate, close 

 together, and form the outer edge of central fascia ; 12 is slender and wa\y, and 

 forms the centre of a whitish fascia; 13 and 14 form a submarginal fascia; 13 is 

 subniarginal, and consists of triangular or Innulate contiguous blotches, preceded liy 

 a whitish line ; a series of double black spots along hindmargin at end of veins ; the 

 upper half of central fascia is widened and pale, and contains a large ova! black discal 

 spot, with pale edges.
