Expanse of wings : 36 mm. 



One ? from Mount Arjnuo, Java (Doherty). 



Nearest to D. vestita Warr. from the Khasia Hills. 



131. Ectropis nigrocellata sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale ochreons, densely covered with coarse and partially confluent 

 transverse fnscons striae, a blotch beyond tlic cill and the apex alone remaining 

 pale ; lines obscure, more or less hidden by the dark tints ; first from one-fourth of 

 costa, curved, to inner margin at one-fifth ; median from a dark spot at centre of 

 costa to two-fifths of inner margin ; outer, partially double, from about three-fourths 

 of costa sinuous to three-fifths of inner margin, followed beyond cell by a darker 

 patch ; submarginal line indistinct, pale : cell-spot represented by a large diilnse 

 roundish blotch of black scalet. ; fringe coucolorons, with marginal black spots at 

 base between the veins. 



Jlimlwings : the same. 



Underside smoky black ; the cell-marks large, deep bhuk, jjreceded and 

 followed by whitish spaces ; a white patch at apex of forewings ; head, thorax, and 

 abdomen greyish ochreons, dusted with darker. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



Three ? ?, one <? ; one ? from Snor, Mefor, May— June 1807 (Dolierty), the 

 others from Ron Island, July 1897 (Uoherty). These last somewhat jniler, more 

 ochreons iu tint, with less dark suffusion, the black dlscal blotches on the upper 

 surface smaller in the forewings and nearly obsolete in the hindwings ; the under- 

 sides are, however, alike iu all the examples. 



The neuratiou is somewhat peculiar ; the cell is only two-fifths of the wing, 

 and veins 7, S, 9 are stalked as usual, but both 7 aud 8 rise very much nearer the 

 base than is generally the case. 



Lophobates gen. nov. 



Forewings : elongate, narrow ; costa almost straight ; bindmargin oblii[ne, 

 slightly curved : anal angle obtuse. 



Hinrlwings : broader; bindmargin well-rounded, subcrennlate ; abdoininiil 

 margin sinuous, with a lobe near base, bearing beneath a tuft of hair. 



Antennae of <? strongly bipectinate nearly to apex ; paljii porreet, densely 

 haired ; hindtibiae swollen, with a small pencil of hairs and four short spurs. 



Neuration : forewings, cell half as long as wing : discocellnlar vertical ; 

 first median at three-fourths, second at eleven-twelfths : radials normal ; 7, 8, 9 

 stalked; 10 and 11 coincident, anastomosing with 12, 10 connected by bar with 

 8, 9. Hindwings : costal approximated to subcostal for half the length of cell ; 

 vein 7 before end ; medians as in forewings. 



Tj'pe : L. ochreicostata sp. nov. 



132. Lophobates ochreicostata sp. nov. 



Forewings : fnscons brown : the costal area oclircons, thickly dnsted with 

 fuscous, the line dividing the two areas sinuous aud oblique from one-fourth of 

 inner margin to bindmargin below apex ; first line curved, fnscons, from nearly 

 one-third of costa to one-fourth of inner margin, marked by a dark spot on median
