triangular projection of grey suffusion mixed with black from middle of its 
posterior margin ; two blackish spots on costa beyond this, united beneath 
costa ; a series of blackish marks round apex and termen: cilia whitish-ochre- 
ous, Hindwings light greyish-ochreous, more greyish posteriorly ; three or 
four grey marks on upper part of termen ; cilia whitish-ochreous. 
Khasis ; in October, one specimen. This distinct species, though structur- 
ally in all respects a true Cryptolechia, not improbably indicates the origin ot 
Depressaria from that genus, 
Depressaria, Haw. 
The only species yet known to me from India are the two following, both 
from the Himalayan region ; the other species attributed to the genus by 
Stainton and others are not correctly referred. 
Depressaria cyclas, 0. Sp. 
Q. 19-20mm, Head and thorax pale brownish-ochreous, patagia dark 
fuscous, Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint irrorated with dark fuscous, 
terminal joint with dark fuscous median band, Antennz pale ochreous 
infuscated above, especially towards base. Abdomen whitish-ochreous, 
irrorated with grey. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex 
rounded, termen obliquely rounded ; 2and 3 stalked ; pale brownish-ochreous, 
with irregularly scattered small dots and strigule of black scales; an 
oblique black subdorsal dash at base; costa irregularly spotted with 
blackish throughout, spots rather larger posteriorly ; discal stigmata round, 
black, an additional black dot obliquely before and above first discal ; an 
irregular dark fuscous blotch lying between and above discal stigmata, touching 
second but not first ; a spot of dark fuscous suffusion beneath costa at 3; a 
terminal series of black dots: cilia whitish-ochreous, on basal half obscurely 
barred with greyish. Hindwings light grey, paler towards base ; three or four 
blackish-grey marks on upper part of termen ; cilia pale grey. 
Dalhousie, Kashmir; in May, two specimens. Most like the European 
petasitis. 
Depressaria taciturna, n, sp. 
&Q. 24-25 mm. Head and thorax light brownish, Palpi brownish 
sprinkled with whitish, basal } of second joint, and basal and supramedian 
bands of terminal joint dark fuscous, sometimes almost wholly suffused with 
dark fuscous except apex of terminal joint, Antenne fuscous, Abdomen 
light greyish-ochreous more or less suffusedly irrorated with fuscous and dark 
fuscous. Forewings elongate, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched,

sprinkled with darker, costal and terminal areas sprinkled with fuscous-whitish ; 
two indistinctly indicated oblique darker streaks from costa towards base, apex 
of second more or less marked with dark fuscous ; first discal stigma indicated by 
an oblique dark fuscous mark, sometimes followed by some fuscous- whitish 
scales, second by a fuscous-whitish dot, edged with some darker scales ; these 
are connected by an indistinct streak of darker suffusion, extending more or less
