Craspedia rufistigma sp. nov. 



Forewings : jmle stone-colour, tliickly dusted with tine lilack atoms; the lines 

 very indistinct; third line denticulated, darker opposite the cell and above inner 

 margin, wliere it is followed bj' some orange scales ; discal spot stone-colour, thickened. 



Hindvjings : like forewings, with an oval orange cell-spot; fringes concolorous, 

 with two rows of dots, one basal, the second beyond, intermediate. 



Thorax and abdomen concolorous ; vertex and shaft of antennae nearly white ; 

 face and palpi brown above, whitish below. Underside [learly whitish, with costa 

 of forewings and all lines distinctly darker ; basal line of fringes thick, dark grey ; 

 end of the veins followed by a small dark spot in the fringe. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



Several S S from the Khasia Hills. 



Craspedia sordida sp. nov. 



Aniiodes tvalkeri Hmpsn., I. L. II., viii., p. 29, No. 805, PL clvi., fig. 7, nee 

 Butler. Type in British Museum. Nilgiris. 



Nearest C. walker i Butler, from Ceylon, but much darker, the ? ? entirely 

 smothered with smoky cinereous ; central shade thick, and in the hindwing passing 

 outside the cell-dot and throwing a finer arm round it on the inside, so forming a kind 

 of ocellus (in walkeri the central shade passes wholly within the cell-spot). The c? is  

 paler, more like the c? of walkeri, but with only a thickening of the black exterior 

 line at the two usual indentations, instead of a black blotch ; the <S antennae have 

 fascicles of cilia, while in walkeri they are simply ciliated, and the cilia are shorter. 



Three ? ¥, one (J, in British Museum from the Nilgiris. 



Craspedia sordida, aberr. multiscriptata uo\-. 



All the lines strongly marked, dark ochreous and cinereous ; basal area nearly 

 filled up with dark grey ; third line with two dark blotches geminated, followed by a 

 line of grey wedge-shaped marks ; fringes with dark grey spots at base, and smaller 

 grey intermediate spots beyond; discal spots iirominent, dark grey. 



One c? from the Nilgiris. 



Craspedia spilodorsata sp. nov. 



Wings bone-coloui-, like Craspedia discaia Warr. froin the Solomons, liut without 

 the ochreous tinge ; discal spots smaller ; exterior line ochreous, black only on costa 

 and in the two inward sinuses, opposite the cell and above the inner margin ; the 

 shade following darker than in discata and with a rufous tinge in the two sinuses ; 

 fringe with a small black dot at base between the veins, and another in the fringe at 

 the end of the veins. In the hindwings the exterior line is rufous throughout. Head, 

 face, thorax, and abdomen as in discata, but the abdomen is marked down the centre 

 by a row of dark spots. Underside like upper, but with the markings, especially of 

 the hindwings, fainter; the forewings partly suffused with dull fuscous. 



Expanse of \Tiugs : 22 mm. 



(S (? from Oinainisa, Timor. 



Craspediopsis gen. no\. 



Distinguished from Craspedia by the very strongly pectinated antennae of thi- cj, 

 as well as by the much larger size of the insects. 



Type : Craspediojjais paUivittula JNloore {Anisodes).
