middle of the wing. The pubescence hides the base of the wing 

 sufficiently for it not to be clearly seen whether the 2nd longitudi- 

 nal vein forks before or after the origin of the 3rd. 



The example appears to be a & \ the genitalia are covered 

 with bristly bright yellow hair. 



Described from a single specimen in good condition in the 

 Indian Museum collection, taken at Peradeniya, Ceylon, viii-1910, 

 by Mr. Green. 



Pericoma impunctata, mihi, sp. nov. 



Sex ? South India. Long, i^ mm. 



Body thickly clothed with long, very dark brown bristly hair ; 

 the surface of the body itself also dark brown. Antennae brownish 

 yellow. 



Legs with dark brown bristly hair ; tarsi light brown but 

 without traces of any pale scales at tips of joints. 



Wings thickly clothed on all the veins with a double row of 

 dark brown bristly hairs, denser and more bristly along the costa 

 and at the base of the wing In certain lights the fringe of the 

 wing and some of the stiff hairs on the basal part appear greyish, 

 but the true colour of practically every part of the insect is dark 

 brown. 



Described from one specimen (sex uncertain) from Tenmalai 

 (west side of Western Ghats), Travancore, South India, 22-xi-o8, 

 captured by Dr. Annandale. 



Type in Indian Museum. 



iV.B.— The 2nd longitudinal vein apparently forks beyond the 

 base of the 3rd vein but the root of the wing is too closely covered 

 with hairs to speak with certainty. 



Pericoma unicolor, mihi, sp. nov. 



Sex ? Darjiling district. Long, nearly if mm. 



This species is wholly brown in colour, only the tarsi being 

 rather lighter. The antennae (partly broken) have flask-shaped 

 flagellar joints. The wings are very large, and bear almost wholly 

 dark brown hairs which appear rich golden brown in certain lights 

 and .show a violet tinge when viewed from different directions. 

 The 2nd longitudinal vein forks immediately proximad of the 

 base of the 3rd \'ein, the anterior branch of the 2nd forking again 

 near the middle of the wing, much distad of the fork of the 4th 

 which occurs towards the base, only shortly after the almost 

 invisible posterior cross-vein, which latter is situated in a line with 

 the basal section of the 3rd vein. The hairs at the tips* of some 

 of the veins are blacker but do not form distinct spots. 



Described from a single specimen (sex uncertain) in the Indian 

 Museum, from Kurseong, taken Ijy Mr. D'Abreii in November, 

 1910. 



N .B. — Although the actual dift'erence in length l)etween this 

 species and impunctata is so little, the present form has a much
