dusted witli hliicki.sh atoms; first neai- base, very indistinct, the costal Ijlolch being 

 (juite small ; a larger costal blotch near middle above the blackish discal sjiot, and a 

 smaller one beyond; from each of these can be traced a curved yellowish line; the 

 two lines approximating below the discal six>t are lost in a large curved blackish 

 blotch in middle of inner niai'gin ; a fourth blackish costal spot stands shortly before 

 apex ; a marginal Itlotch below apex, and a collection of blackish atoms at anal angle ; 

 fringe pale straw-colour, with some dark mottlings towards apex and at anal angle. 



Hiiidwini/s : with a minute cell-spot; two pale yellow curved central linos, and 

 the three marginal dark blotches as on forewings ; fringes wholly straw-colour. 



Ifead, face, thorax, and abdomen concolorous. Underside yellower, with dark 

 fuscous strigae, and the dark markings indicated, but not plainly. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



In some numbers from the Khasias. 



Allied to C. strujala Warr. 



Chiasmiodes gen. nov. 



Forewings : more elongate than in L'hinsiida Hiili. ; costa gradually curxed from 

 base to apex, which is nearly rectangular; hindmargin almost vertical to middle, then 

 oblique and inctu-ved to anal angle, which is rectangular. 



Hindivinrjs : kite-shaped, both angles well marked, (he hindmargin with a broad 

 blunt prominence in the middle. 



P'orewings with fovea; (J antennae thick, .--ubdeutate. with .stout fascicles of 

 cilia ; forehead with sharp tuft of scales ; palpi porreot, rostriform, laxly scaled ; 

 tongue present. 



Xeuration: forewings, cell half as long as wing; discocellular straight, ol)lique; 

 fir.st median nervule at two-thirds f second and third from lower end of cell ; radials 

 normal ; last three subcostals stalked from end of cell ; second wanting ; first 

 anastomosing with costal. Hindwings with the medians as in forewings; the two 

 subcostals from upper end of cell.

Foreioings : whitish, tinged with yellow along costa and inner margin, and with 

 all the veins yellow; numerous irregular transverse brown strigae; lines brown, 

 distinct; first from one-fourth of costa to one-fourth of inner tnargin, strongly 

 angulated outwards on subcostal nervure; second from costa just beyond middle 

 runs at first towards middle of hindmargin, then liluntly rounded back to inner 

 margin in the middle; third, half-way between second and apex, also runs outwards 

 for a short distance, then, forming nearly a right angle, goes perfectly straight and 

 concise to inner margin before anal angle ; a fourth line, more diffuse, starts from 

 apex, running alongside the third from its angle to near the margin, where it diverges 

 into the anal angle; a dark brown marginal line, interrupted by the yellow veins; 

 fringe straw-colour, mottled with brown ; a large round blackish cell-spot. 



Hiiuhvini/s : with the transverse strigae denser, the costal region whitish, 

 without markings; only two lines, one central, lliick, straight; the other half-way 

 to hindmargin, slightly curved.
