The single linear corneous n)ark beneath the centre of tlie 

 basally bisinuate basal radial abscissa is unique in. my kno\vled<;e. 

 This species is very like AUocamjdits xmdulatvs, Grav., bnt with 

 the radius a little less strongly rettexed, the first discoidal cell 

 narrower though geniculate at the same point above, and the meta- 

 thorax is scabrously circumstriate, but much less strongly than in 

 the latter species and A. simudiis, Mori. It is also closely allied 

 to Benicosjrilns Jlavlccqnif, though at once know n by the' single 

 linear mark, the much more strongly sinuate base of the radius, 

 strongly curved first cubital ner\ure and less strongly sculptured 

 metathorax.

5 . A pale luteous species, with no black markings. Head palo 

 flavous. Antennii' red. Thorax with the metanotuiu hasallv 

 glabrous, the basal impression with a stout central and two or 

 three lateral carina^ " the base, behind the keel, is irregularlv 

 striated; the strite in the centre longitudinal, the "others 

 irregularly transversely, the rest of the segment with close, 

 rather strong', regularly roundly curved strife ; " propleurae closely 

 and obliquely striate, mesopleura) closely punctate, metapleurse 

 closely, coarsely and obliquely striate. Scutellurib laterally carinate 

 throughout. Abdomen darker than pale luteous, especially 

 towards its anus. Lecjs immaculate, densely pilose, but more 

 sparsely on the tibiae and tarsi, TFim/s hyaline, with the stigma, 

 costa, and basal abscissa of the radius testaceous ; glabrous area 

 with a single small pyriform corneous mark ; transverse cubital 

 nervure slightly and roundly curved, as long as the recurrent ; 

 disco-cubital nervure centrally curbed and incrassate, broadlv 

 fenestrate.

Ceylox : Pundaluoya (E. E. Green). 



The type was bred by Green from the Yapourer Moth, Dasi/chira 

 Jiorsfieldi, Saund., in January.* I consider it probable that 

 this species is not distinct from the next; I have seen no 

 specimens that I can ascribe to it.
