cell and anastomosing with third for a short distance above its base ; radial from angle close 

 to subcostal ; discocellular slightly concave ; two upper median branches from angles above 

 end of the cell, third from its end, fourth at one third before its end. Hind wing longer 

 than broad, exterior margin convex, scalloped ; two subcostal branches from end of the cell, 

 upper discocellular shghtly concave, lower short, oblique, nearly straight ; radial from their 

 angle ; two median branches from end of the cell, third at about one fourth before its end. 

 Thorax laxly pilose ; antennoe minutely bipectinate, more or less distorted and bent at half 

 its length in the male ; palpi slightly ascending, second joint laterally broad, widest and 

 pointed in front, pilose, third joint long, slender, cylindrical ; femora, tibiae, and tarsi 

 densely and laxly clothed with hair in the male, less so in the female. 

 Type C. ])teridis. {Ilah. Europe.) 



CaLLOPISTEIA EECURVATA, 11. sp. 



Fore wing rufous-brown, veins lined with ochreous-wliite ; some silvery-white-bordered 

 black subbasal transverse zigzag lines, a duplex anteraedial straight line which is bent 

 outward at the median vein ; lunate orbicular and reniform marks ; a recurved postmedial 

 line, and zigzag short streaks below the apex ; the basal, costal, and apical interspaces 

 blackish-brown, the discal area brightest and traversed by a black lunular line ending in a 

 white spot ; two black-bordered white zigzag lines below the apical streak : liind wing brown. 

 Thorax rufous-brown, collar black-streaked ; abdomen brown.

C. exotica, Guen., which also occurs at Darjiling, is a smaller insect, and differs in 

 having the antemedial transverse line entirely convex, and the postmedial line more boldly 

 recurved. C. repleta, also from Darjiling, lias the antemedial line bent at the submedian 

 vein, and the postmedial line is almost straight. 



Genus PHALGA, Moore. 

 Phuhja, Moore, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 375. 



Fore wing — costa almost straight, apex pointed, exterior margin oblique and scalloped, 

 angular in the middle ; first subcostal branch emitted at one third before end of the cell, 

 second at one sixth before its end, third at one eighth from below base of second, fourth at 

 three fourths from third ; fifth from end of the cell, bent obliquely upward and slightly 

 touching third near its base ; discocellular extremely slender, slightly bent at each end, 

 convex in the middle, radials from upper and lower angles ; upper median branch emitted 

 from angle above end of the cell, middle branch from its end, lower at nearly one half 

 before its end ; submedian recurving from the base. Hind wing narrow, exterior margin 

 convex, slightly scalloped ; abdominal margin short ; costal vein extending to apex, two 

 subcostal branches emitted from end of the cell ; discocellular extremely slender, radial 

 from its lower end ; cell very short ; upper median branch from angle above end of the cell,
