olivaceous, witb its inner border and the anterior margin narrowly black. Mesonotum ^yitb two central, 

 obconical, black fasciae on anterior margin, between which is a very narrow and indistinct dark line ; on 

 each side of the obconical spots is a smaller spot and a short oblique, discal, black faseiate line on each side

Tegmina and wings pale hyaline, their bases blackish, the venation ochraceous or fuscous ; tegmina 

 with the costal membrane olivaceous, the postcostal area blackish ; transverse veins at the bases of 

 second and third apical areas infuscated. 



The opercula are short and suboval, their inner margins straight at base and then obliquely deflected 

 to apices, which do not extend beyond the basal abdominal segment ; their outer margins are slightly 

 oblique and convexly deflected at apices. 



Long. excl. tegm. ,? , 32 millim. Exp. tegm. 95 millim. 



Hab. — Tenasserim (Limborg — Calc. Mus.) ; Myitta (Doherty — coll. Dist.). 



When describing the Eliyncliota collected by Mr. Limborg in Upper Tenasserim the 

 typical female, Crijtotijmpana recta, Walk., was alone known to me, and I then opined that the 

 species I afterwards described as C. Umhorgi might prove to be the male of C. recta. But when 

 both sexes of Walker's species had been received, further doubt was impossible. 



Species hnown to the ivriter hy the female sex only.

Hab. — Continental India: Neelgiri Hills, northern slopes, 3500 feet (Hampson — coll. Dist.). 



I am indebted to Mr. G. F. Hampson for four female specimens of this species, which 

 I have hitherto refrained from describing, with the desire of firstly acquiring a male example.
