sLade that limits the antemediaa line; onter line fine, white, thrice angnlated, first 

 acutely between veins 6 and 7, more blnutly on vein 3 and on the submediau fold, 

 edged internally with darker, and followed by similarly angled dark grey, pale grey, 

 and dark brown lines; two slender white submarginal lines, running parallel to 

 hindmargiu, the first preceded and the second followed by equally slender greyish 

 ochreous lines; fringe greyish ochreous, the basal line finely paler; the basal half 

 of the fringe with dark grey or blackish dashes between the veius; nervules beyond 

 the cell finely white as far as submarginal line. 



Hi nd icing s : smooth, grey: with two curved slightly darker submarginal 

 fasciae, marked with black scales on inner margin; the inner lines marked only by 

 dark spots on inner margin. 



Underside dull dark cinereous, with the submarginal line indicated on both 

 wings. Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings; abdomen ringed with pale and 

 dark : palpi dark grey. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One ¥ from the Khasias, November 1896. 



The hindmargin of forewings is vertical to vein 3, then very obliijue. This 

 species, strongly characterised by its markings, appears to stand quite alone. 



Subfamily HYDRIOMENINAE. 



Diactinia gen. uov. 



I propose this distinctive name for those species of the somewhat heterogeneous 

 genus Citlaria which have the ground-colour dark, and the lines and often the 

 veins white or pale, the usual markings more or less cut up or abbreviated. The i 

 antennae are minutely serrate and pubescent. Scaling fine and smooth. 



Type : Diactinia silaceata Hub. 



.50. Diactinia leucoglyphica sp. nov. 



Foreicinys: dark olive-brown; the lines cream-white; a dark brown cuvvlmI 

 line close to base, enclosing a dark spot; first line white, from one-sixth of costa 

 to one-fifth of inner margin, beut almost rectangularly on the submedian fold: a 

 slender white line along the fold of cell, and a shorter one beneath it along the 

 submedian fold; from middle of costa an oblong white patch, pointing towards anal 

 angle, and reaching vein. 3, containing a small brown spot on costa and a larger one 

 below it ; this patch is flanked on cither side by a broadish white line, each starting 

 from the subcostal vein, curved below the median, and meeting on vein 3; the 

 inner of the two connected with the white cell-line; on inner margin beyond middle 

 is an oblique ring-shaped white mark with oval brown centre, surmounted by a 

 curved white line from inner margin before anal angle; submarginal line white, 

 narrow, formed of long wedge-shaped marks, the points of which just touch the 

 outer of the two white lines; a broad white line oblique from apex, recurved to 

 hindmargin below vein 4, and again curved to anal angle; a fine white line close to 

 and parallel to hindmargiu; fringe brown, with a white fleck at apex and middle; 

 the ground-colour towards anal angle between the submarginal line and the curved 

 white line olive-yellow. 



llini/winqs .- whitish, with fuscous grey surt'usion towards base ol' inner miirgm 

 and along a broad postmedian fascia, the outer edge of which is luuulate; some grey
