 soniolinies dotted blackish ; basal patch little marked, edge 

 obtusely angulated in middle, seldom blackish-marked on angle; 

 central fascia n\oderate, obli(jue, grejish-ochreous, sometimes 

 suffused fuscous towards costa, anterior edge sinuate or nearly 

 straight, posterior edge suffused and indistinct exce^jt tovvards 

 costa; a small blackish dot in disc near beyond this ; costal patch 

 moderate, semiova), greyish-ochrcous or fuscous, darker-marked 

 on costa : cilia whitish-ochreous, a grey anteniedian line. Hind-

S. India, Nilgiris, Pykara, Ootacamund, about 7000 feet, 

 September, October, March (Andreiues, Fletcher, Maxwell) • seven 

 specimens. 



Cacoecia termias, n. sp, 



(^ . 17 mm. Head, palpi fuscous. Thorax dark indigo-fuscous. 

 Abdomen grey, anal tuft ochreous. Forewings suboblong, 

 moderate, costa anteriorly moderately arched, posteriorly slightly 

 sinuate, with strong costal fold extending from base to middle, 

 apex obtuse, termen vertical, slightly sinuate beneath apex, rounded 

 beneath ; brown suffused rosy-purplish ; a suffused dark brown 

 oblique streak from dorsum towards base reaching half across 

 wing, area between this and costa to central fascia more or less 

 suffused dark indigo-blue ; central fascia very oblique, moderate, 

 dark brown, irregular in disc, very narrow towards costa, lighter 

 and indistinct towards dorsum ; costal patch elongate, narrow, dark 

 brown, posterior end almost confluent with a M^edgeshaped dark 

 brown fasciate streak running to below middle of termen ; a dark 

 brown or blackish mark on apical end of termen : cilia ochreous- 

 brown, more or less tinged rosy-purplish, lighter towards tornus, 

 near apex mixed dark bluish-fuscous. Hindwings grey, posterior 

 half suffused ochreous-yellowish from costa to vein 5 ; cilia pale 

 yellowish, two suffused hght grey shades. 



Assam, Shillong, 5000 feet, September, October (Fletcher) ; two 

 specimens. Very closely allied to epicyrta, but I believe truly 

 distinct ; shape of forewing different, costa more arched anteriorly, 

 so that at the crown of arch the wing is as broad as at posterior 

 extremity, whereas in epicyrta it is obviously narrower ; also the 

 yellow costal area of hindwing only extends to vein 5, whereas in 

 epicyrta it extends to 3 or even below ; the wedgeshaped streak 

 resting on termen has quite even regular edges, wliereas in epiciirta 

 they are irregular ; the costal patch is narrow and evenly rounded 

 l)eneath, whilst in ejncyrta it tends to become triangular and 

 prominent. I have seen epicyrta in abundance, but not any from 

 the Khasis. 



Cacoecia compacta, n. sp. 



cJ . 19 mm. Head, palpi, thorax ferruginous-brown. Abdomen 

 light ochreous, apex suffused ferruginous. Forewings su})oblong,
