@. 15mm. Head whitish-ochreous, face and palpi white. Antennal 
pectinations short. Thorax white, shoulders sprinkled with grey. Abdomen 
whitish. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex rounded, 
termen obliquely rounded ; white ; three suffused blotches of fuscous irro- 
ration, sprinkled with black specks, occupying most of disc from near baso 
to near apex, separated only by curved white streaks, first blotch extending 
below fold and indistinctly to costa, second extended anteriorly to costa at 
2 and limited beneath by fold, third resting on tornus and not reaching 
costa; some slight dark fuscous irroration towards middle of dorsum; a 
narrow yollow-ochreous apical fascia attenuated downwards to middle of 
termen, edged anteriorly with some dark fuscous irroration. Hindwings 
grey; cilia white with grey subbasal line. 
Trincomali, Ceylon, in November (Green) ; one specimen. 
Comocritis nephelista, n. sp. 
$2. 16-20mm. Head and palpi white. Antenne in d flatly dentate 
strongly ciliated. Thorax ochreous-white, posteriorly tinged with grey. 
Abdomen whitish, Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex rounded, 
termen very obliquely rounded ; 9 and 10 stalked ; whity-brownish irrorated 
with dark fuscous, more strongly posteriorly ; a suffused white streak along 
costa from about 4 to near apex; two small indistinct dark fuscous spots 
obliquely placed towards costa at }; a suffused whitish streak enclosing an 
elongato-semioval patch of stronger dark irroration along median third of 
dorsum ; some indistinct whitish admixture in disc posteriorly, sometimes 
forming a suffused streak running to termen above tornus ; four small indis- 
tinct cloudy dark fuscous spots round apex and termen: cilia pale whity- 
brownish with faint grey shades, beneath tornus whitish. Hindwings light 
grey ; cilia white. 
Kandy and Maskeliya, Ceylon, from March to June (Mackwood, Pole) ; 
four specimens, Differs-from the rest of the genus by stalking of 9 and 10 
of forewings. 
Comoeritis enneora, n. sp. 
3. 17mm. Head and palpi white. Antennal pectinations very short. 
Thorax white, with two small dark grey postmedian spots. Forewings 
clongate, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen rounded, rather strongly 
oblique; 3 and 4 connate; silvery-white ; nine small roundish dark leaden- 
grey spots, viz., one almost basal beneath costa, one in disc towards base, 
one towards costa before 3, one on fold beneath this, one elongate in disc 
before middle, one above middle of disc, one on fold beyond middle, one 
towards costa before 2, and one in disc beyond this: cilia white, base pale 
ochreous. Hindwings grey-whitish ; cilia white. 
Khasis, in May; one specimen. This example has the pupal case, with 
the head and lingual and antennal sheaths separated in one piece, still 
enclosing the abdomen. 
Ethnwa duplicata, a. sp. 
32. 30-32 mm. Differs from hilarella only as follows: abdomen with 
dorsal spots absent on two basal segments, reduced or absent on third; 
hindwings in both sexes as in Azlarella 9, but with apical patch wider and 
much more convex anteriorly, less produced beneath and not reaching 
middle of termen, grey apical patch in cilia also reduced and not reaching 
middle of termen. The characters of abdomen are as in pullata, but in that 
species the hindwings have a dark fuscous costal band on lower surface, 
Patipola (6,200 feet), Maskeliya, Puttalam, Ceylon, in December and 
January (Pole, Fletcher) ; three specimens. Doubtless sometimes overlooked 
by colicctors and mistaken for the commoner hilarella,
