TORTRICIDA. 
UVilodemis falsa, 0. sp. 
3 Q. 22-25mm. Head, palpi, and thorax brown, in d with a blackish 
patch on upper part of face. Antenne of J without notch, Abdomen grey. 
Forewings sub-oblong, in ¢ slightly narrowed anteriorly, costa anteriorly 
strongly arched, without fold, posteriorly nearly straight, apex obtuse, 
termen in ¢ nearly straight, little oblique, in Q sinuate, nearly vertical ; 
brown, strewn with blackish-grey dots, arranged in oblique transverse 
series ; markings darker, edged with faint pale striw ; outer edge of basal 
patch straight, oblique ; central facia moderate, oblique, slightly narrower 
towards costa, anterior edge nearly straight. posterior slightly bent in 
middle; costal patch small, semi-oval, obsolete posteriorly : cilia dark-brown, 
at apex end towards tornus greyish-ochreous. Hindwings rather dark- 
grey, rather thinly scaled, except towards termen; in ¢ with a dorsal 
pencil of long dark-grey hairs, and on lower surface with a shallow naked 
prismatic groove running beneath lower margin of cell and along vein 2. 
Nilgiris, 3,500 feet, from August to October (Andrewes), 9 specimens 
(5 3,4 2); alsol g from Ceylon, without further particulars. Almost 
exactly resembling tryrapha in all particulars both of structure and mark- 
ings, except in absence of notch of antenne in d, and in slight difference 
of posterior edge of central fascia, which in trigrapha forms a very slight 
but regular curve, in falsa is distinctly bent in middle and faintly sinuate 
zbove this. Besides the original examples I have a pair (¢ 2) from Khasi 
Hills which are truly referable to triyrapha. This is avery curious case, 
but on the structural difference | cannot treat these forms otherwise than 
as specifically distinct. 
EucosMID&. 
Argyroplece aolantha, n. sp. 
3 Q. 14-17 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous suffusedly spotted 
with fulvous-orange. Palpi with appressed scales, curved, ascending, 
orange. Abdomen orange, segmental margins dark-fuscous. Forewings 
moderate, sub-oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, 
apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, somewhat oblique, deep fulvous-
