( 311 ) 



segments distinct, hairy ; tongue aiul freniilnni well developed, the retiQaciilura 

 forming as nsnal a strong bar, chili-shaped at end ; antennae thick, sabserrate, with 

 sessile fascicles of cilia ; legs long, with rongli shaggy hair; pectus woolly. 



Nenration : forewing, cell three-tifths of wing ; discocellular bent, obli(ine 

 inwards in npper two-thirds : first median jnst beyond middle ; second at seven- 

 eightlis ; radials normal; 7, 8 stalked from before end of cell; 9, 10, 11 free, 

 11 from jnst beyond middle, straight, well separated from 12; 9, 10 sinnous, 10 

 approximating first to 11, then to 9; 9 approximating first to In, then to S: 

 hindwing, cell two-fifths of wing ; costal diverging at base from subcostal ; 7 from 

 before end of cell ; median vein swollen near base into a dark bulbous excrescence, 

 curved upwards from the origin of vein 3 ; vein 2 apparently from near liase ; inner 

 marginal area hairy, the cell-meml)rane puckered.

Foreinnc/ : hyaline white, but this ground-colour shows onl)' along cell and 

 below its onter half, all the rest of the wing being covered with irregnlar fuscous 

 partially confluent striae, the whole surface, except along extreme hindmargin, 

 glossed with violet-purple according to the incidence of light : at two-fifths a broad 

 dark mark runs obliquely across cell from costa, and before apex there is a dead 

 white triangular costal spot ; aloug the hindmargin the white ground-colour shows 

 behind the fuscous mottling, and there are three dark blotches before margin, one 

 above vein 6 and one on each side of vein 3 ; fringe dark grey, paler in places, and 

 whitish-mottled at anal angle. 



Ilinila-iny : with the hyaline area embracing not only the cell, but an equal 

 area beyond it between veins 4 and 6 and half the space between 3 and 4 ; the 

 costal and onter margins broadly fuscous, the inner margin white mottled with 

 fuscous ; fringe white, tinged with grey, especially towards apex ; veins across the 

 hyaline area black ; wings with no pnrplisli gloss. 



Underside like npper, but forewing without the purplish gloss. 



Face and palpi whitish ochreons, tinged with grey ; vertex white ; thorax, 

 shoulders, and patagia grey, the last whitish at base internally ; abdomen cinereous, 

 with a yellowish tinge beneath ; forelegs whitish, blotched with dark grey ; middle- 

 legs fuscous ; hindlegs pale ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 56 mm.

Subfamily CYLLOPODINAE. 

 Authyala gen. nov. 



Like Dioptis and Tamosti/lu, but distinguished by the nenration. In the 

 forewing the cell is half as long as the wing, with the discocellular oblique 

 throughout ; vein 2 at three-fourths, 3 from end of cell along with 4, not stalked 

 with it ; the radials rising apparently near together from centre of discocellular ; in 

 hindwing veins 6, 7 are long stalked, vein 2 from one-half, 3 from three-fourths. 



Antennae of S pectinate ; palpi upcurved in front of face. 



The wing-membrane is actually hyaline.
