I cannot agree with Professor Fernald in sinking Ceelostathma 



as a synonym of Amphisa, Crt., which has veins 7 and 8 of the 



fore wings stalked and 9 separate, whereas Ceelostathma has 7 and 



8 stalked out of 9. 



198. C(ELOSTATHMA PARALLELANA, sp. II. 



Antenna? biciliate, 2| ; cream -colour. Palpi projecting rather 

 more than the length of the head beyond it ; cream-coloured ; 

 second joint shaded with fawn-brown externally. Head and 

 thorax cream-colour. Fore wings and cilia cream-coloured, with a 

 dark fawn-brown band from before the middle of the costa to the 

 middle of the dorsum, variable iu breadth and distinctness, some- 

 times diffused or dilated outwards below the middle ; this is 

 followed by a second narrower band, commencing on the costa at 

 one-fourth from the apex and reaching to the tornus ; a single 

 black dot lies at the end of the cell between veins 5 and 6. Exp. 

 al. 12 mm. Hind ivinys pale fawn-grey with a slight reddish 

 tinge. Abdomen cream-coloured, shaded with grey across the 

 middle. Legs creamy whitish.

 Hedemann). " The larva feeds on Mimosa " (Hedematm). 



This species differs from Ceelostathma discopunctana, Clem., in 

 the form of the outer baud, which is almost parallel with the first 

 instead of being conspicuously curved inward at its upper 

 extremity. Along the costa the intensity of the bands is variable, 

 and iu one female they are almost entirely obliterated, the wing- 

 colour becoming pule fawn-ochreous instead of creamy. I cannot, 

 however, doubt that it belongs to the same species.

= -\Cochylis, Tr., Stgr. Cat.; %Conchylis, Sdf., Fern., &c. 



199. Phalonia ichthyochroa, sp. n. 



Antcnnce whitish cinereous. Palpi projecting nearly the length 

 of the head beyond it ; whitish, shaded with brown externally. 

 Head hoary. Thorax shining silvery whitish. Fore ivinys 

 shining silvery whitish; a rust-brown shade along the base of 

 the costa not extending to the dorsum ; a broken fascia com- 

 mencing on the costa beyond the middle consists of a dark- 

 margined rust- brown spot at its upper extremity and a larger 

 rust-brown shade on its lower half, extending somewhat inwards 

 and containing one or two patches of blackish scales ; the apical
