Galle, Ceylon (Fletcher) ; in June, thirteen specimens. Extremely like 
Brachmia dolosa, but (besides the generic difference of neuration) apex of 
forewings more obtuse, termen less oblique, terminal joint of palpi with 
blackish supramedian band. The species are so similar in size, colour, and 
markings that they are scarcely distinguishable if these points are not 
noticed. 
Ischnodoris, n. g. 
Head with appressed scales, sidetufts loosely spreading ; ocelli present ; 
tongue developed. Antennz 4, in ¢ shortly ciliated, basal joint mode- 
rately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second 
joint with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. 
Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibise 
clothed with rough scales above. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked, 6 absent, 
7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, 
cilia 1}; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Allied to Brachmia, of which it is a development. 
Ischnodoris sigalota, n. sp. 
32. 11-12 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, more or less sprinkled and 
sides of face suffused with fuscous. Palpi whitish, second joint fuscous 
except apex, apex of terminal joint more or less suffused with dark fuscous. 
Antenne grey ringed with whitish, in ¢ shortly ciliated. Thorax whitish 
closely irrorated with brownish. Abdomen grey, anal tuft ochreous-whitish. 
Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, termen 
very obliquely rounded ; pale whitish-ochreous closely irrorated with brown- 
ish ; stigmata rather large, black, plical smaller, slightly beyond first dis- 
eal; a spot of blackish suffusion on dorsum slightly before second discal ; 
row of cloudy blackish dots or groups of scales close before margin round 
termen and posterior part of costa: cilia whitish-ochreous sprinkled with 
brownish, on costa slightly ferruginous-tinged. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale 
greyish. 
Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole, Alston); in February, May, July and from 
October to December, twelve specimens. 
Strobisia, Clem. 
Head smooth-scaled, glossy ; ocelli present ; tongue developed. Antennze 
z,in ¢ simple, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial 
palpi very long, recurved, second joint smooth-sealed, terminal joint as 
long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, ap- 
pressed to tongue. Posterior tibize with rough scales above. Forewings 
with 2 and 3 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa or sometimes apex or 
rarely absent, 9 seldom out of 7, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1 or over 1, 
- elongate-trapezoidal, termen somewhat sinuate, cilia 3-1; 3 and 4 connate or 
stalked, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 stalked or approximated towards 
base.
