blotch of dark fuscous suffusion on dorsum before middle, reaching more 
than half across wing; costa suffused with dark fuscous from } to apex; 
a small whitish spot on middle of costa, beneath which is a patch of 
whitish irroration ; two small blackish spots edged with a few whitish scales 
placed transversely in disc at $; an indistinct bisinuate whitish line at 4, 
sharply marked towards costa; a black terminal line: cilia fuscous with 
four ochreous-whitish lines, basal third on termen yellow-ochreous. Hind- 
wings grey ; cilia whitish-ochreous with two broad pale fuscous shades. 
Khasis; in March, three specimens. The peculiar neuration marks this 
as an extreme form, but it does not seem necessary to separate it 
generically. 
Brachmia compsophila, n. sp. 
3 2. 13-17 mm. Head and thorax light ochreous-brown or sometimes 
fuscous, face whitish-tinged. Palpi whitish, second joint externally suffused

Madulsima, Kurunegala, Diyatalawa, Ceylon (Green, Vaughan, Pole,
