A single specimen of this well-marked species is contained in 

 the Nilgiri collection made by Sir G. !F. Hampson, and which he

 reached me from elsewhere {supra), but it seems to be no\^'here

2485. Penthimia scapularis, sp. n. 



Head, pronotum, scutellum, body beneath and legs black ; a 

 somewhat large spot near each posterior angle of pronotum, three 

 spots in transverse series (the middle spot largest) on apical area, 

 and the extreme apex of scutellum pale testaceous : tegmina 

 testaceous, the veins piceous, the apical area broadly transversely 

 subhyaline, the testaceous portion much finely reticulately spotted 

 with piceous, less so on basal area, the reticulate spots being larger 

 and more prominent on claval and middle costal margins, in the 

 pale apical area there are a few small piceous-browu spots in the 

 apical cells, the largest of these is situate in the upper cell ; 

 margins to the abdominal segments beneath and the tibial 

 spinules pale testaceous ; on each side of face at the anterior 

 margins of the eyes there is an oblique testaceous line ; tarsi 

 castaneous-brown ; vertex distinctly transversely striate on its 

 anterior area; eyes black with their margins testaceous; pro-
