CRAMBINAE 
CRAMBUS CHILOIDELLUs sp. nov. (Pl. VIII, Fig. to.). 
Palpi pale ochreous, smoky outwardly; head, thorax and primaries very 
pale ochreous, almost creamy, all veins lined with smoky brown, interspaces with 
a broader streak of same color; a fine white streak through cell from base to 
discal dot, and another streak of same color through entire submedian fold, both 
bordered on each side by smoky brown; small dark discal dot and terminal 
row of spots; fringes pale, cut by two transverse smoky lines; secondaries whit- 
ish, veins and costa slightly smoky. Beneath primaries and costa of secondaries 
deep smoky in @, paler in 9, remainder of secondaries whitish. Expanse 
25 mm.

The species looks like a large edition of densellus Zell. ; in all three 
specimens however veins 7-9 of primaries are stalked and 10 is from 
cell, although very close to stalk of 9, 11 is free and the front is non- 
tuberculate. This would throw the species into Crambus, although 
very dissimilar to the majority of species of this genus. In one 9 
before us the brown streaks are scarcely visible towards base of wing; 
the white streaks of cell and submedian fold are not prominent as they 
so nearly coincide with the ground color of the wings. 
PLATYTES DENTILINEATELLA sp. noy. (Pl. IX, Fig. 16-17). 
Palpi ochreous, smoky outwardly; head and thorax pale ochreous; pri- 
maries ochreous, shading into yellow in terminal area; veins and interspaces 
lined with brown to subterminal line; a brown discal dot, connected with base 
of wing by white streak; a broader white streak through submedian fold from 
base to subterminal line, bordered by brown; an indistinct, brown median line, 
starting from before middle of costa and very strongly outcurved around cell, 
the outermost portion almost attaining subterminal line, curving backward almost 
parallel to median vein as far as vein 2 near origin, then with slight outward 
bend and again oblique to middle of inner margin; submarginal brown line 
bordered outwardly with pale ochreous, often indistinct, from costa 1/3 from 
apex rigidly oblique to vein 7 near outer margin, then parallel to same and 
strongly and evenly dentate in the interspaces; an oblique diffuse dark shade 
extending inwards from apex to median line; terminal space even yellow, with 
terminal dark line and interspaceal dots; fringes purplish, cut by a darker line. 
Secondaries slightly smoky, silky. Beneath primaries smoky, secondaries whitish. 
Expanse ¢ 18 mm., 9 22 mm.
