A small species with brown wings, the apical band single, 

 short, and five distinct small transverse white bars on posterior 

 border of wing in the submarginal, first, second, third and fourth 

 posterior cells, distinctly divided from the rosettes and almost 

 touching the pale marks in the apices of these cells. Frontal callus 

 black, shining, narrow, reaching the eyes, the paired spots large, 

 touching it. Antennae reddish yellow, the first joint about half 

 as long as the third one. Face with narrow black band and a 

 black spot between the antennae. Abdomen brown with grey 

 segmentations. I^ength type 7 mm., the other specimens 6^ — J^ 

 mm. 



Face grey with white pubescence, with narrow black or brown 

 band between eyes and antennae and below on each side touching 

 eyes a brownish or black spot almost joining or distinct from the 

 band. Palpi dull reddish yellow with pale pubescence. Anten- 

 nae dull reddish yellow, the first two joints with black pubes- 

 cence, the first joint cylindrical, not incrassate, the second 

 small, round, about a third of the size of the first joint, the third 

 joint slender, the first annulation a little dilated and broader 

 than the three last ones. Forehead yellowish grey, broad, the 

 paired spots large, almost round, not quite touching the eyes on 

 the frontal callus, the unpaired spot small, round. Frontal callus 

 black, narrow, a little produced on its upper border ; a black spot 

 is present between the antennae. Thorax brown with three distmct

In Howlett coll. type (female) and others from Kanara, Bom- 

 bay, and from Bombay. 



A species allied to H. inconspicua, n. sp., but distinguished by 

 its larger size, the greater length of the first joint of antennae (more 

 than half as long as the third joint), by the absence of any black 

 spot between the antennae, and of any black band on the face, 

 though a spot is usually present below on each side. Frontal
