segment is suffused with fulvous-ochreous ; second segment with a trans- 
verse fine median line of. a few white scales: cilia bronzy-fuscous, faintly 
rosy-tinged, slightly mixed with white scales on basal % of upper cleft and 
basal half of lower, beyond this with a dark fuscous patch on upper margin 
of second and third segments reaching apex, and on lower margin of all 
segments extending to apex and lmited by a gently curved colinear 
(subcontinuous) black basal line at apex of each segment, but on two upper 
segments cut by a single white scale near before apex, on dorsum with a 
blackish scale-projection just beyond cleft, at apex of wing with a blackish 
bar, on costa brownish-ochreous with a dark fuscous patch on middle of 
first segment. Hindwings dark fuscous, tinged with crimson anteriorly, 
and near base with ferruginous ; eilia rosy-fuseous, on dorsum with a small 
triangular blackish scale-projection just before middle of third segment, 
and a large cireular blackish scale-projection occupying its apex on both 
margins. 
Hambantota and Puttalam, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher); in October and 
November, eight specimens. This is the form bred in plenty by Mr. 
Fletcher from larve feeding on flowers of [tis quadrangularis;.it is the 
commonest Ceylon form (I have seen numerous specimens besides those 
here described), but possesses characters which I have never met with in 
examples from other localities. Mr. Fletcher includes it in his account of 
socotranus, but together with what I regard as heterogeneous material from 
various regions. 
Deuterocopus alopecodes, n. sp. 
3 2. 10-llmm. Head and thorax ferruginous sprinkled with dark 
fuscous, thorax beneath whitish-yellow. Palpi whitish, second and termi- 
nal joints each with two ferrugimous bands. Antenne black, lined and 
dotted with white, ciliations in G3. Abdomen ferruginous, basal segment 
with two small white spots, posterior margin of second segment somewhat 
mixed with white, two or three pairs of white dots or slight marks on 
posterior segments, beneath whitish-yellow with well-marked entire deep 
ferruginous band on posterior margin of third segment. Legs ferruginous 
banded with dark fuscous suffusion on whorls, and more or less obscurely 
ringed with white. Forewings with lower cleft over 3 of upper; ferru- 
ginous, variably irrorated with dark fuscous; the dark irroration forms 
a patch on base of first segment and a band at its middle, latter sometimes 
hardly marked, its margins sometimes indicated by a few white scales ; two 
or three white scales on second segment beyond its middle: cilia golden- 
bronzy, slightly mixed with white scales on basal § of upper cleft and basalt 
half of lower, beyond this with a patch of dark fuscous suffusion on upper 
margin of second and third segments reaching apex, and on lower margin 
of all segments separated by a pale patch from a blackish downwards-direc- 
ted triangular apical scaletooth, most distinctly on second and third
