22. Arhostia (?) persimilis sp. nov. 



Forewings : dirty oehreous, il Listed cuarscly with grey, esiiec-ially from the base 

 outwards and along the hindniargin ; the three lines dark grey, slightly curved, and 

 parallel to hindmargin ; first at one-fourth; second at one-half, passing close to tlie 

 small lilackish cell-spot; third at three-fourtlis, the last the clearest; fringe con- 

 colorous, with dusky basal line. 



Hindv'ings : the same, without the first line. 



Thorax and abdomen concolorous; face reddish, fudersidi' dulli'r. 



Expanse of wings : 20 mm. 



A few from the Kliasias. 



23. Craspediopsis inaequata sp. nov. 



Forewings stone-colour, slightly darker in tone than hlmaculidn \Varr. and 

 more tinged with ocbreous, the costa paler. The markings are similar to tho.se of 

 p'lUivittata and binuwiddta, but the exterior line, instead of consisting of a series 

 of lunules with dent iculat ions between them, is a continuous fine thread, which forms 

 a distinct curve opposite the cell, and is immediately followed by a somewhat 

 indistinct reddish line, not parallel to it, which bears a spot beyond the curve and 

 another lietween the first and second median nervules, from which an oblique Hue 

 runs to the top of the two blotches in the exterior line; the fringe, which in 

 liiniaculatn is quite pure, has, like that of paUivittaia, a small spot opposite the end 

 of each vein. The lower spot of the exterior line is smaller and blacker than in 

 hlmncuhita, while the upper one is more faintly expressed. The pectinations of the 

 cj antennae are much shorter and of move uniform length throughout, whereas in 

 bitnaculata they are plumose in the middle. Face and palpi lilack, as in the other 

 species. 



Expanse of wings : oti mm. 



Several from the Khasias. 



Of the four species which I refer to this genus, paJliviUata Moore is the largest, 

 and also the most mottled with ochreous and reddish ; bipunctata comes next in 

 l)oint of size, and is the palest in colour; then pers!iiuIis^loove,\\hk'h is the greyest ; 

 and last imwqiuda, which is decidedly smaller and slightly darker than hlmacidida, 

 but less mottled than pjidlivlUata. 



24. Chrysocraspeda perpicta s]). nov. 



Foreivinrjs : yellow, irregidarly blotched anil dusled with lilood-rcd ; the co.sta, 

 hindmargin, ami inner margin dull pinkish drab : discal spot white, surrounded with 

 reddish. 



Hindiuingfi : yellower; basal area thickly dusted with lilood-rcd. the apical 

 region more sparsely so ; hindmargin dull violet-grey, becoming dull retl at base of 

 fringes, which are yellow; on inner margin above anal angle is a curved dark red 

 blotch concisely cut by the second median nervule ; di.scal spot white, .set in red. 



Thorax and vertex pinkish drab; abdomen yellow, dusted with blood-red, the 

 penultimate segment with a blotch of the .same colour as that on inner margin of 

 hindwings ; face and antennae yellow, s|iot li'd with red. I'nderside yellow, sutTused
