Wings abovt- dark fuscous ; anterior wings with a sanguineous transverse fascia not reaching costal 

 or inner margins and crossing wing at end of cell. Wings beneath as al)ove, but the transverse fascia 

 to the anterior wings broader and paler than aljove and approaching nearer to the costal margin. 

 Body and legs dark fuscous. 



Exp. wings, 8'2 millim.

 vol. i. p. 555, n. (1877). 



The specimen eollected l)y Capt. Piuwill in ^fahicca, and now contained in tlie collection 

 of the British Museum, is here figured, and the following is Felder's original description : — 



" Alls utrinque fuscis, anticis fascia lata transversa subsinuata fulvo-nurantiaea. ^ ." 

 " Prseeedenti* affinis, sed minor pedibusque gracilioribus instructus." 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula: Selangor : Kwala Lumpor (Biggs — coll. Dist.): Malacca (coll. Felder — 

 Pin win— Brit. Mus.). 



The small size of this species and the position of its transverse fascia on the anterior 

 wings are the characters wliich apparently identify it. It appears to l)e a moderately scarce 

 species; one specimen only — umtilated — is in my collection. 



Genus KEKANA. 



Keraud, Distant, (inlca, p. 392. 



This genus is closely allied to Astirtojitcrim, but structurally differs by having the first subcostal 

 nervule of the anterior wings emitted more nearly opposite the base of the second than of the lower 

 median nervule. 



1. Kerana armata. (Tah. XXXV., lig. 31.)

A\ ings above dark chucolate-brown ; anterior wings with a broad, transversely oblique dark orange- 

 yellow fascia, which is convexly rounded outwardly and nearly straight inwardly, crossing wing at about

 paler than above. Body and legs concolorous with wings.
