resemblance to her figure of latifascia, Ric. The position of the 
two rosettes or rings, each with an inner triad of spots similarly 
situated; the two transverse rows across the discal cell, etc., the 
outer row parallel to the hind margin of the wing; the subapical 
whitish band and whitish extremities to the posterior cells, also the 
two zigzag lines across the anal and axillary cells, are all more or 
less distinctly traceable in latifascia. 
It seems quite possible therefore that the present species may 
prove to be the @ of Jatifascia, in spite of the apparent discrepan- 
cies in the relative lengths of the antennal joints. However, as 
the species was returned by Miss Ricordo herself to the Indian 
Museum as being probably new, I venture to characterize it as 
such. 
Haematopotas triatipennis, mihi, sp. nov. 
(Piiexexyviby fie 225) 
@.- Western Himalayas. Long. 8 mm. 
Head.—Eyes with upper facets bright chocolate brown, lower 
ones greenish black, with a narrow violet horizontal stripe. 
Frons ash grey, with a pair of contiguous pale livid yellowish 
calli immediately above the antennae, and occupying nearly all the 
frons. Face ash grey, with black hairs; proboscis reddish brown; 
palpi pale dirty brownish yellow with black pubescence. Antennae 
bright yellowish; Ist joint half as long as 3rd, only moderately 
thickened; 3rd joint slender, elongate, constricted immediately 
beyond base (Ist annulation); apical part (the last three annula- 
tions) narrow, tip black. The 3rd joint at its greatest width is less 
wide than the Ist joint. 
Thorax (stained).—In life, evidently dark ash grey; no trace 
of any dorsal stripes, though these may have been present. 
Sides of scutellum a little yellowish. 
Abdomen.—Basal half dull brownish with a little yellowish 
tinge towards sides, apical half blackish, the whole surface with 
blackish brown hair. Belly similar, but much less pubescent. 
Legs.—Coxae dark grey, fore pair a little lighter. Femora 
dark brown; tibiae brownish yellow, fore pair with apical half 
black; fore tarsi black, posterior tarsi brownish yellow, a little 
darker on the emarginations. 
Wings.—Grey, except at extreme base; the costal cell very 
pale yellowish. No trace of rosettes of the usual pattern in 
this genus, but the wing is crossed transversely by six narrow 
whitish streaks situated as follows :— 
The two first streaks begin at the upper margin of the Ist 
basal cell, thence crossing the two basal cells at equidistant points, 
the ist streak ending at the 7th longitudinal vein, and the 2nd 
very nearly reaching the wing border, crossing the anal and 
axillary cells at the centres. The 3rd streak begins at the upper 
margin of 2nd submarginal cell, passing through the discal 
cell where this section of the streak is ‘“‘ interrupted,’ being placed
