INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 599 



fuscous suffusion, whose apex reaches costa at f, its posterior edge limited by 

 a nearly straight fine whitish-ochreous line; a small spot on costa before middle, 

 and a small oblique oval spot in disc beyond middle : cilia light fuscous-ochreous, 

 with broad rather dark grey sub-basal shade, beneath tornus wholly dark grey. 

 Hindwings pale ochreous, apex and termen narrowly suffused with fuscous ; 

 cilia pale fuscous, at base and towards tornus becoming whitish-ochreous. 



Two specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February (Pole). The colouring of 

 the posterior legs is a curious feature, being the reverse of what almost invari- 

 ably obtains.
