Racotis sinuosa sp. nov. 

 Like boarmiariu Guen., but larger. The discal spots in both wings ocelloid aud 

 largei-, more distinct. Underside with the ground colour very much suffused with 

 dingy cinereous; the marginal black border broad, touching the hindmargin, and 

 leaving a large whitish apical blotch on the forewings, and a small pale blotch below 

 the apex of hindvrings. In the torewings the inner edge of this fascia is not straight, 

 but iiTegularly sinuous. 



One (? and one ? from Xorth India.

Darisa fasciata sjj. nov. 



F'orewings pale dull ochreous, thickly dusted with fuscous; lines dark brown : 

 first near base, forming a small subcostal angle, and running obliquely inwards, pre- 

 <'eded by a fuscous olive shading ; discal spot round, nebulous ; second line runs at 

 first outwards, forming a rounded angle ojiposite the cell, then obliquely inwards to 

 the submedian fold beneath the discal spot, where it cm-ves again outwards; this line 

 is followed by a broad fuscous olive fascia, which is connected with the hindmargin 

 opposite the cell and towards anal angle, and is bounded by the indistinct subterminal 

 line. Ilindwings the same, but with no basal line, and the discal spot smaller. 

 Underside like upper, hut a little duller. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



One ? from Sikkim, in Felder collection. 



Darisa interlata sp. nov. 



Forewings whitish ochreous, dusted with fuscous strigae ; lines dark fuscous ; 

 first near base, at one-fourth, forming two sinuses outwards, preceded by a thicker 

 fuscous shade, which reaches neither margin ; an indistinct vertical central fuscous 

 shade, which is cui-ved shortly outwards round the dark lunular cell spot ; exterior line 

 irregularly dentate and sinuous; runs vertically or slightly inwards from costa, then 

 outwards for a similar distance, then vertically again till near the inner margin, 

 where it curves inwards to some distance before anal angle ; marginal area suffused 

 with fuscous olive ; a dark brown costal subapical spot, and a dark brown cloud below 

 it; fringe with a dark base line, which swells out into spots at the veins; subterminal 

 line hardly indicated. Hindwings the same, but without first line and median shade ; 

 the exterior line evenly curved and strongly dentate. Underside paler ochreous, 

 du.sted with fuscous. F'orewings with a broad dull fuscous marginal band, which 

 contains three paler spaces — one iit apex, the second just below the middle, the third 

 before the anal angle. Hindwings with the band confined to the costal half of the 

 wing, and not reaching the hindmargin. 



P^xpanse of wings : 65 mm. 



One ? fi-om Sikkim, from the Felder collection. 



Paradarisa gen. nov. 



Distinguished fioni Darlna Mcioic, to which it is certainly allied, by the cf 

 Jintennae, which, instead of being jicctinated, are onlv shortly ciliated, as in 

 Ectropis Hub. 



Type: Paradarisa coiiiji(iml(u-i(i. Wlk. (Tepltroaiu).
