oclireons, darker above ; forelegs hair}-, thickly irrorated with dark reddish-brown 

 scales, mid and hind legs irrorated and ringed with dark reddish brown, tarsi dark. 



Primar}' ochreons, thickly irrorated with reddish brown, making the general 

 colonr reddish ochreons ; on the costa close to the base is a short cnrved dark 

 transverse dash, a dark spot at the end of the cell, apex clonded with reddish 

 brown from which a straight obliqne dark red-brown stripe extends to the inner 

 margin a third from the base ; another finer obliqne line extends from the same spot 

 to near the anal angle ; this line is indented in the middle, whence it is connected 

 with the other oblique stripe by a short dark line. Posterior margin finely dark, 

 fringes paler, finely darkly spotted, with dark edging. Secondary pale ochreons, 

 very slightly darker in the centre ; posterior margin finely dark, fringes paler, 

 darkly dotted with dark edging. Underside irrorated thickly with dark grey, 

 especially in the costal area, with dark reddish cloudy patch beyond the lower end 

 of the cell ; at the upper extremity of the cell is a small dark spot, inner-marginal 

 area pale ochreons without the dark irrorations. 



?. Precisely like the mnle, but a little darker and without the short cnrved 

 basal dash on tlie costa. Underside the same as the male with the addition of a 

 dark spot nearer the base tiian that at.the upper end of the cell ; there is, however, 

 an indication of this spot in some males. 



Expanse : S 35—39, ? 47 mm. 



Hab. Dinawa, also from the Aroa River (Tring Mnseum). 



The type is in my collection. 



This species, which flies at the same time exactly as the previous one, L. pmtti, 

 has a strong superficial resemblance to it ; at rest, with the wings closed, they 

 however look quite distinct ; the marked oblique straight line in this species, and 

 the absence of the dark inner-marginal dash, which is so conspicuous a feature in 

 jjratti when at rest, separate them immediately from each other; then also the 

 underside of the secondary is very different. 



51. Lasiolimacos ferruginea spec. nov. (PI. V. f. 50). 



c?. Head, palpi, and thorax pale ochreons brown, abdomen ochreons pale 

 brown, with dorsum reddish. Antennae pale ochreous brown, shortly pectinated 

 for a third. 



Primary pale ochreous brown, suffused almost entirely with rough lustrous 

 reddish brown, thick scales, with a terminal broad wedge-shaped patch of finer 

 chestnut-coloured scales, above which is a subapical yellow spot, whilst the 

 scaling of the centre of the inner margin is also paler. Secondary pale whitish 

 ochreous deepening into reddish towards the termen. A small dark prominent 

 spot at the upper end of the cell, yet more prominent below than above. 



Exjjanse, 37 mm.

Nervicompressa gen. nov. 



cJ. Palpi very small, heavily haired, deflexed ; legs thickly clothed with hair. 



Primary short, very broad, posterior margin nearly straight, cell extremely 

 short and small, decidedly less than a third of the wing. Vein 4 from the lower 

 angle of the cell, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 stalked, 9 rising nearer the apex than 7, almost at 

 right angles to 8, and lying compressed below 10, which for its whole leugtli lies
