( 55 ) 



vein : second line from five-sixths of costa, irregnlarly dentate in the jiale costal 

 area, then oblifine and curved inwards to inner margin beyond middle, apiiroaching 

 first line on the median ; snbmarginal line ochreons, preceded on costa by an oblique 

 fuscous blotch, and scarcely visible in the dark area except as a pale lunnlar mark 

 on snbmedian fold : fringe brown, with a slightly paler basal line ; a small black 

 cell-spot. 



Hindiciiigs : wholly fnscons brown, except the extreme base. 



Underside cinereous ; costal area of forewings ochreons, much striated and 

 spotted with dark fuscous. Face, palpi, and abdomen fuscous lirown ; vertex, 

 thorax, and basal segment of abdomen ochreons. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



In some numbers from the Khasias. 



133. Psilalcis intermedia sp. nov. 



Forewings : ochreons grey, speckled with fuscous, and towards hindmargin with 

 fine blackish striations ; costa ochreons, dotted with black, and with four black 

 spots, at one-fourth, two-fifths, three-fourths, and five-sixths respectively, from 

 which the lines run : first and second simply curved inwards : third, indistinctly 

 denticulate and marked with black dots on veins, angled on vein Ci, and oblic[ne to 

 inner margin, almost touching the second line ; snbmarginal pale, wavy, with dark 

 clouds before it beyond cell and above anal angle ; a row of distinct black marginal 

 spots ; fringe pale, mottled with darker at ends of veins ; cell-spot blackish, just 

 beyond second line. 



Jlindwings : with a dark cloud near base : a linear dark cell-spot ; an obscure 

 waved double postmedian line, the inner area fuscous, the outer ochraceous ; sub- 

 marginal line interrupted, dentate, with mixed darker shading on both sides. 



Underside greyish ochreons ; base of forewing discoloured with grey ; first and 

 second lines marked on and near costa ; a broad blackish marginal band, leaving 

 pale spaces on costa, at apex, and below middle of hindmargin ; hindwings with this 

 band shown only at apex ; both wings with dark cell-spot. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen concolorons. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One (? from Mount Arjnno, Java (W. Doherty). 



This species is very much like Boarmia thricophora Hmpsn. from Sikkim ; but 

 the antennae are merely pubescent, and the hindwings have no fringe of long hairs 

 along inner margin ; the forewdngs have a small fovea.

 diffuse and interrupted, marked by brown dashes on the veins ; the first at one-

 the lower end of the large Innate olive-browu cell-spot, to inner margin before 

 middle ; both the first and second lines marked with rufous blotches on inner 

 margin ; outer line broader and very diffuse, marked by a double series of brown
