Brunettia travancorica, Annand. 



The brown or blackish short and moderately short scales on the 

 upper surface of the wing are thickly present on the upper 

 as well as the lower surface, but on the basal half only. They 

 appear silky black when viewed in some directions and dull 

 greyish white viewed from other directions. On the lower surface 

 these dark scales cover the whole area. 



The very small white hair- spots at the tips of the veins are 

 placed on the absolute edge of the wing, almost in the adj acent 

 fringe. 



Some specimens taken by Mr. E. E. Green at Peradeniya, 

 Ceylon, afford the data i8-vii, 14-viii and October (all 1910). 



N.B. — A specimen in the Indian Museum, unfortunately in too 

 bad condition to describe, certainly represents an undescribed 

 species allied to atrisquamis, from which it differs by the scales on 

 the under surface of the wings covering the basal half only. No 

 obvious patch of silk}^ hairs on the alulae. Traces of small white 

 spots on the extreme border of the wing.

Body covered with dark blackish brown hair, which, at least 

 on the abdomen, appears dark greyish in certain lights. A small 

 but very conspicuous tuft of snow-white scaly hairs at the sides of 

 the thorax, nearly below the shoulders, a little in front of the base 

 of the wing. 



Antennae with general appearance of those of Psychoda 

 bengalensis. Legs with brown hairs and scales, which are darker 

 on the tarsi. Tips of tibiae and of metatarsi with white scales.
