Subfamily ASTHENINAE. 



25. Laciniodes deuig^rata sp. nov. 



Like L. plurilinearia Moore, but the general colour yellower, entirely without 

 lilack or dark markings. 



Head, face, and collar yellow, not black ; the exterior band of white spots much 

 more distinct and not interrupted in the middle ; inner line curved below costa, not 

 angulated ; outer line recurved to ccsta, not rimning straight as in plurilinedria, its 

 upper half therefore being sinuous. 



Three ? ? from Shillong, .May and July. 



Subfamily TEICHOPTERYGINAE. 



Probmphe gen. nov. 



c?. FwevAngs : ample, triangular; the costa with a prominent bulge at one- 

 third, followed by a slight indentation before the convex outer half; ai)ex blunt; 

 hiudmargin as long as inner margin, straight and oblique, and strongly creuulate in 

 the u]>per half, the teeth at cud of veins 4 and 6 being prominent. 



llindinmjs: small iu comparison wdth the .size of forewings, with roundeil 

 apex and hiudmargin ; the inner margin thickened towards base, then lobed to anal 

 angle ; the lobe folded over flat on upperside, and hairy within. 



Palpi short, pointed, porrect ; tongue present ; forehead and vertex somewhat 

 protuberant ; antennae lamellate. 



Neuration: forewings, cell not half as long as wing; discocellular vertical in 

 upper area, oblique below ; first median at one-half, second at five-sixths, third from 

 lower angle of cell ; lower radial from the angulation of discocellular, upper from top 

 angle of cell ; first subcostal anastomosing with stem of the other four, forming a 

 single areole. Hindwings, costal connected with .subcostal by a bar; the subcostal 

 bent downwards to middle of wing ; first subcostal nervule from the bend ; second 

 fi-om the end of cell, reaching hiudmargin below middle ; discocellular very strongly 

 aud acutely inangulated, the radial and last two medians radiating from the acutely 

 pointed lower end of cell ; first median some distance before end ; the first and 

 second running tlirough to the hiudmargin of the lobe that is folded over. 



Type : Proomphe lobata sp. nov. 



A development, as the neuration shows, oi Dysethia Warr. 



20. Proomphe lobata sp. nov. 



Fwewwigs ; ochreous flesh-colour, the lines paler ; a red-brown triangular spot 

 on costa near base; another ju.st beyond the costal bulge, edged internall}- by the 

 jjale first line, which is abruptly angled at the apex of the spot and runs slightly 

 wavy to inner margin at one-third ; outer line from apex to two-thirds of inner 

 margin ; a third, but more indi.stinct, brown costal triangle is visible ju.st beyond the 

 luiddle of wing ; fringe concolorous. 



Hi ;tdiui'nt/8 : more yellowish, without any markings. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous ; face dark browii. Underside yellowish, 

 in forewings tinged with reddish, in hindwings mottled with darker yellow. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm.
