Ihave described three Indian species, 8. rhothia, which also occurs in 
Mauritius, S. caleata and S. melanacta, the antennal structure in the last- 
named having been overlooked ; and now add four more. 
Spilonota meleanocopa, n. sp. 
3$@. 15-17 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark grey sprinkled with 
white. Antennal notch of ¢ at 1. Forewings elongate in d, rather 
narrow, costa slightly arched, in ¢ faintly sinuate beyond middle, with 
broad fold extending from base to beyond middle, apex obtuse, termen 
straight, somewhat oblique ; dark grey, coarsely and suffusedly strigulated 
with white; in ¢ a blackish patch on costa beyond middle; a black 
longitudinal mark in middle of disc, in 2 slight and broken ; a triangular 
blackish przetornal spot ; ocellus margined by silvery-metallic streaks, and 
containing two or three black dots; a transverse black mark resting 
on middle of termen: cilia dark fuscous mixed and irrorated with whitish. 
Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked; dark fuscous, thinly scaled, especially 
towards base, more so in ¢ ; cilia fuscous, towards tips whitish-sprinkled. 
Khasis ; in June, six specimens.

some iridescent-whitish scales and some scattered blackish strigule ; 
costa black, with pairs of whitish strigule; basal patch strigulated with

angulated below middle; central fascia more or less irregularly suffused 
with black, acutely angulated in middle; two or three bluish-leaden- 
metallic oblique strigze from costa posteriorly ; a blackish przetornal spot, 
tending to be confluent with a blackish blotch before middle of termen, 
both limited posteriorly by blue-leaden-metallic streaks; apex black; a 
fine black terminal line: cilia olive-greenish mixed or obscurely barred 
with blackish. Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked ; thinly scaled, grey, with 
violet-blue iridescence ; veins dark fuscous; cilia grey. 
Khasis ; in August and September, fourteen specimens. 
Spilonota babylonica, n. sp. : 
3. 15mm. Head and thorax white, shoulders dark grey. Palpi grey, 
edges sprinkled with white. Antennal notch very near base. Forewings 
elongate, costa gently arched, without fold, apex obtuse, termen hardly 
sinuate, oblique ; ochreous-white, base of scales pale greyish; costa and 
dorsum dotted with dark fuscous; a grey patch marked with dark fuscous
