 wet, season (Ockciiden). 



In size and superficial appearance this sj)ecies luimics 'raiino.ilijla unimaoda 

 AVarr. ; but the difference in nenration and the red collar will serve to 

 distinguish it. 



St'BFAMILY P.1ST0N1NAE. 



Hetererannis gen. nnv. 



Forciciiit] : elongate; costa straight; apex bluntly rounded; hiudmargin 

 oblique, faintly curved; anal angle rounded off; fovea present. 



linuhring : produced below apex, rounded ; hiudmargin nearly straight : anal 

 angle rectaugnlar. 



Antennae of i strongly bipectinate, the extreme tips serrate. Palpi shortly 

 porrect, rough beneath, the segments obscured; tongue absent; frenulnm well 

 developed. Hindtibiae with four spurs, hardly swollen. 



Nenration: forewing, cell more than half as long as wing; discocellnlar 

 inangulated in middle ; first median nervnlo just beyond middle, second at five- 

 sixths, well before end of cell ; lower radial from slightly above centre of 

 discocellnlar, upper from upper angle; 7, 8, It stalked from a little before end 

 of cell ; 111 and 11 coincident. Hindwing, costal and subcostal closely ajiproximated 

 for quite half of cell ; 7 only just before end ; no radial ; medians as in forewing. 



Type : Hetererannis obliquaria Grote {Boarmin). 



Manifestly allied to Erannis Hub., but separated by the bipectinate antennae 

 of the S and the presence of a fovea in the forewing. 



Subfamily ASCOTINAE. 



232. Bryoptera basisignata spec. nov. 



Forewing : white, finely black-sjieckled, and suffused in parts with pale sepia- 

 brown ; inner and outer lines strongly marked, velvety black ; the inner from one- 

 fourth of costa, slightly angled inwards on the subcostal vein, then obliquely curved 

 inwards, and much thickened below the median vein, preceded in lower half by 

 a brown shade ; outer line from two-thirds of costa to three-fifths of inner margin, 

 slightly angled outwards on veins d and 4, insinuate between, below vein 4 

 incurved ; median line fine, from a dark spot on costa, rectangularly bent outwards 

 round the distinct round black cell-spot, then curved parallel to outer line, the 

 space between them below the middle filled in with sej)ia-brown ; submarginal 

 line whitish, regularly zigzag, the space between it and outer Hue pale brown, 

 mixed with whitish towards inner margin ; marginal area brownish, darker in some 

 specimens at costa and beyond cell ; a row of distinct black marginal spots ; fringe 

 white, mottled with grey brown. 



Hindwing : with a velvety black streak near base of inner margin ; a black 

 cell-spot, preceded by a brown shade from middle of inner margin, the inner edge 

 of which is straight ; outer line and marginal area beyond it as in forewing. 



Underside dirty greyish, with darker marginal borders, and distinct cell- 

 spots ; apex of forewing and fringes of both wings whitisji. 



Head and thorax white sjirinkled with grey scales; abdoinen givyer, with tlic 

 segmental divisions darker, the second segment with a broad velvety black ring ; 

 palpi externally blackish.
