from costa above the discal mark to the anal angle, where it contains an indefinite 

 fuscous blotch ; discal spot ocelloid, oblique, connected with a dark costal siiot ; 

 apical one-third dark fuscous, mixed with dull yellowish, the subterminal line paler, 

 ill-defined. Hindwings white, mottled with fuscous and yellow, more thickly towards 

 base and hindmargin ; the yellowish scales are arranged indefinitely as three curved 

 fasciae; no trace of the central black denticulated line. Head and thorax fuscous. 

 Abdomen grey. Underside white, mottled with fuscous. Forewings with a broad 

 blackish hindmargin, which leaves a whitish space at apex and anal angle only, and 

 a smaller spot below the middle. Hindwings with a narrower submarginal fascia, 

 followed by a series of broad whitisli horseshoe shaped blotches lietween the veins, 

 e.xeept opposite the cell. 



Almost as large as hymenaria. 



Three examples in the Feld. collection without locality, but placed along with 

 others recorded as from Assam. A <? from S. Celebes evidently belongs here ; this is 

 much darker than the ? , with a well marked broad pale fascia which does not reach the 

 anal angle. The hindwings are almost wholly smoky fuscous. Felder's ? j are 

 proliably also from Celebes. 



Elphos procellosa sp, nov. 



Forewings smoky purplish grey, with an irregular curved pale yellowish white 

 fascia-formed space between the discal spot and the exterior line, broadest on costa, 

 and not reaching the inner margin ; in a few cases the basal portion of the wing is 

 \aried somewhat with paler markings, I'nderside of hindwings wholly smoky grey, 

 with a still darker border, which leaves some dull white luntdar blotches along the liind- 

 margin and forewings, with the marginal hand similar, but witli the basal area less 

 completely smoky, being white with fuscous blotclies beneath the pale fascia of the 

 upperside. 



Expanse of wings : 78 mm. 



"'^ix c?cf, four from the Felder collection said to be from Assam, one from 

 the Nilgiris, and one from Kandy. Much smaller and more sombre looking tlian 

 E. hymenaria. The hindmargins of the wings subcrenulate only. 



Xandrames curvistriga sp. nov. 

 Forewings whitish, suffused with pale testaceous and fuscous, and mottled with 

 dark fuscous strigae ; basal two-thirds and apical region darker, the intervening space 

 whitish, running from costa quite to liindmargin, where it extends from anal angle 

 to halfway up the margin ; basal half of wing pale testaceous mottled with darker 

 streaks, with an ill-defined browni.sh vertical line ; cell .spot large, elongated, blackish 

 fuscous, traversed Isy the central shade, which at its lower end makes a short sharp 

 bend basewards, then runs as a slender streak to inner margin before the anal angle: 

 n>ual exterior line absent ; subterminal line pale, curved from the costa as far as the 

 white blotch in which it is lost, jn-eceded by a deep fuscous costal blotch, and followed 

 by a paler fuscous one, reappearing l)elow the white blotch as a .Miiuous line terminat- 

 ing at the anal angle; space immediately preceding it dark fuscous; the white 

 blotch at the anal angle beyond it containing some testaceous marks ; fringe preceded 

 by dark lunules between the veins, which are most prominent at the end of the white 

 blotch, Hindwings testaceous fuscous, paler towards the base, and deepening into 

 dark fuscous before a pale subterminal line, which ' starting from the costa before the
