N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome); in May, October, and November, four 
specimens. 
Nothris incondita, n. sp. 
$2. 14-18 mm. Head and thorax whitish, sometimes with a few black- 
ish-grey scales. Palpi whitish, second joint with blackish subbasal and 
median bands, with long rough projecting tuft beneath, terminal joint 
with three blackish rings. Abdomen in ¢ whitish-ochreous, in Q whitish. 
Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely 
rounded; whitish, irregularly sprinkled with blackish scales, veins streaked 
obscurely with pale ochreous; a black dot towards costa near base ; 
stigmata obscurely indicated by some irregular grey markings, variable 
and undefined, plical beneath first diseal; apical area clouded with grey ; 
several very small dark grey marks on costa posteriorly : cilia ochreous- 
whitish, with several grey lines. Hindwings and cilia ochreous-whitish. 
Madulsima, Ceylon (Vaughan); in May and August, four specimens. 
Nearly allied to the South African siceifolvi, Wals. 
Hypelictis, Meyr. 
Founded on a single species, acrochlora, Meyr.; the four additional species 
here described are clearly congeneric, but require some enlargement of the 
generic characters as under, 2z., terminal joint of palpi varying from as 
long as second to much shorter, variably thickened with scales sometimes 
roughly projecting posteriorly, rarely slender : forewings with 6 to termen 
or apex, ¥ to costa, 8 out of 7 or absent, 9 seldom out of 7. Notwithstand- 
ing these differences they have a peculiar and characteristic facies, and 
are nearly related together. 
Hypelictis thyrsicola, n. sp. 
2. 16-17 mm. Head and thorax greyish-ochreous sprinkled with 
whitish. Palpi greyish-ochreous sprinkled with dark grey and whitish, 
second joint very long, straight, porreected, above with long rough project-

slender. Abdomen grey, anal tuft mixed with ochreous-whitish. Fore- 
wings elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly somewhat dilated, eosta gently 
arched, apex obtuse, termen faintly sinuate, rather oblique ; 6 to termen, 
8 absent, 7 and 9 stalked ; greyish-ochreous, with a few seattered black 
scales; costa suffused with dark grey except towards apex, where it is 
tinged with crimson; stigmata indicated by small indistinet spots of grey 
suffusion, discal approximated, plical rather before first discal ; cilia whitish- 
ochreous tinged or suffused with pale crimson except towards tornus, tips 
dark fuscous exeept towards tornus. Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia 
greyish-ochreous, with light fuscous subbasal shade. 
Khasis ; in August and November, two speeimens. 
Hypelictis frenigera, a. sp. 
3g Q. 13-14 mm. Head and thorax dark violet-fuscous. Palpi dark 
bronzy-fuscous, second joint with scales somewhat rough above towards 
apex, terminal joint moderately thickened with scales. Abdomen dark

very fine whitish curved or bent line from 3 of costa to tornus ; an ochreous 
yellow or orange apical patch, anterior edge somewhat convex, enclosing 
two or three fuscous wedge-shaped spots on termen; a more or less 
developed fine black line round apex and termen: cilia light ochreous- 
yellowish, on costa and round apex dark violet-fuscous with basal half 
ochreous-yellow cut by a fuscous bar beneath apex, beneath’ termen 
infuseated, Hindwings rather dark fuscous; cilia whitish-ochreous, more
