and below vein 3 ; fringe concolorous : an obscnre dark cell-spot, throngh which a 

 fine waved median line can jnst be traced. 



Hindwingg : with costal area whitish ; the oblique brown line central, followed 

 by an obscnre Innnlate dark grey line. 



Underside brown ; the inner margin of both wings paler ; forewings with the 

 ends of enter and submarginal lines on the costa whitish. Face and paljii dull 

 brown ; thorax and abdomen paler ; base of antennae and vertex whitish.

Iridoplecta gen. nov. 



Forewinqs : with costa faintly convex ; apex rectaugnlar, blnnt : hindmargin 

 finely crenalate, vertical to third median, where there is a slight elbow, thence 

 oblique to anal angle. 



Ilinilwings: hindmargin strongly crenulate, with five prominent teeth, of which 

 the middle one at end of the third median is longest. 



Antennae of S very finely pubescent ; palpi very short, not reaching beyond 

 forehead ; hindtibiae somewhat dilated, with four spurs. 



Neuration : forewings, cell half the length of wing ; discocellular curved, very 

 fine ; first median at three-fourths, second and third together from lower angle ; 

 radials normal ; last three subcostals stalked from some little way before end of cell, 

 third and fourth forking only just before apex ; first and second absent ; costal 

 running nearly to apex, close to the stem of the other three subcostals. Hindwings 

 with first subcostal and second median each leaving jnst before angle of cell. Wings 

 semihyaline, iridescent. 



Type : Iridoplecta ferrif era Moore {Trygodes). 



An example of this Indian species has been sent by Doherty from Bali (March- 

 April 1896), differing only in the hindwings being less strongly crennlated. 



151. Miantochora incolorata sp. nov. 



Forewings : pearl-grey, slightly lustrous, speckled and suffused in parts with 

 darker grey ; the costa pale, with coarse fuscous mottlings ; the lines somewhat 

 diffuse and inconspicuous, dull ferruginous ; the first curved, at one-third, the second, 

 in the middle, nearly vertical : the third from five-sixths of costa to inner margin 

 before anal angle, incurved below the middle, its inner edge marked by dark vein- 

 dots; on the lower radial beyond it is a dark spot; a triangular dull ferruginous patch 

 on hindmargin below apex ; marginal area beyond outer line from vein 5 to anal 

 angle, and the iuner margin between the middle and outer line occupied by pale 

 patches of the grouud-colonr ; fringe rufous towards apex, pale grey below ; cell- 

 spot dark, indistinct ; the veins towards hindmargin pale ochreous. 



llindwimjs : paler ; an indistinct ferruginous antemedian and more strongly 

 marked postmedian line, the latter, as in forewings, preceded by black spots on veins, 

 and followed by a darker cloud ; marginal area darker grey. 



Underside whitish, freckled with grey : the outer line only marked by dark spots 

 on veins ; costa of forewings ochreous chequered with fuscous : the subapical ferru- 

 ginous triangle distinct. Head, thorax, and abdomen grey mixed with ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 50 mm.
