approaching outer line below miildle, diverging below vein 2, the intervening space 

 tilled up with brown-black; the outer close to the black marginal spots; the pale 

 subniarginal line broad ; fringe concolorous, black-speckled. 



Hind'winf/s : like forewings, without basal line. 



Underside with the markings showing through. Face and pal[)i lilackish ; 

 thorax and abdomen like wings, the latter with a black-brown dorsal lilotch, corre- 

 sponding to the dark blotch on inner margin of hiiidwings.

Hinduiargin of hindwings produced at anal angle and vein 4, incurved between. 



41. Pylarge candidaria sji. nov. 



Forewings: chalk-white, thickly dusted with dark grey along costal region; 

 the lines starting from dark costal spots, all dentate-lunulate, and in the main 

 parallel to liindmargin ; first dark gi-ey, from one-fourth of costa to one-fifth of inner- 

 margin, outcurved above median vein ; second from costa at three-fifths to before 

 middle of inner margin, strongly excurved above round the small black cell-spot, 

 dark grey ; outer line black, more strongly dentate, from three-fourths of costa to 

 two-thirds of inner margin, forming an acute angle projecting outwards on vein 6, 

 and a strong black crescent between veins 1 and 2 ; closely followed by an olive-grey 

 shade, similarly dentate; submarginal line broadly white, followed by another grey 

 shade ; black marginal lunulas ; fiinge white, slightly speckled. 



H indivmr/s : similar, but without first line; the cell-s})ot small, preceded by the 

 median line. 



Underside of forewings, except along inner margin, suffused with dull grey, with 

 the markings indicated ; of hindwings white. Face whitish, like the vertex, thuiax, 

 and abdomen ; the last ringed with blackish. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm.

42. Sterrha crescentifera sp. nov. 



Forewings: dull brownish grey, thickly and somewhat coarsely dusted wilh 

 dark scales ; lines fine, blackish ; first from one-fourth of costa to one-fourth of inner 

 margin, running outwards from costa and forming a strong, rounded jirojection in cell 

 l)efore cell-spot, and a less prominent one below median; outer line from four-fifths 

 of costa to four-fifths of inner margin, irregularly dentate-lunulate, twice acutely 

 angled below costa, running out towards liindmargin on vein 6, and insinuate in cell 

 and more strongly on submedian fold; cell-spot .semilunate, whitish, with a darker 

 nucleus; an obscurely marked median shade, widely outcurved beyond cell, t lien as 

 strongly incurved below it to inner margin near first line; the first line is preceded 

 and the outer followed liy a paler, .slightly brownish space; submarginal line very 

 indistinct ; marginal line black, swollen between the veins, ami interrupted by a Jiale 

 spot at their ends; fringe dark grev. 



Hindwings: similar, but more coarsely dark scaled, the median line stronger, 

 the cell-spot not so clear.
