I propose to extend the structural characters of this genus so as to include- 

 forms in which vein 7 of forewings runs to the termen, and also those in which 

 the second joint of palpi is clothed with rough projecting hairs towards apex 

 above. In view of this extension- /lomosaees will cease to exist, being merged 

 in- Phceosaces. 



Fhceosaces chrysosoma n. sp. * 



^. 16 mm. Head orange-yellow. Palpi light orange, sprinkled with dark 

 fuscous, terminal joint § of second, anterior edge dark fuscous. Antennte 

 fuscous. Thorax and abdomen dark purplish-fuscous. Legs yellow, anterior 

 and middle pair banded with dark fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen oblique, slightly rounded ; 7 to apex ; dark shining 

 purplish-bronzy-fuscous ; extreme costal edge yellow except at base and apex: 

 eilia rather dark fuscous, tips- ochreous-whitish on termen. Hindwings and 

 cilia dark bronzy-fuscous. 



One specimen, Pundalu-oya, Ceylon, in February (Green). Much like 

 P. anthocoma, but differing by the apical termination of vein 7, and yellow 

 eostal edge of forewings. 



Phceo^aees orthoioma n, sp. 



$. 19 mm. Head whitish-fuscous. Palpi very long, second joint fuscous 

 sprinkled with whitish, above with rough projecting whitish hairs, apex whitish, 

 terminal joint whitish, anterior edge mixed with fuscous. Thorax light fuscous.. 

 Abdomen pale greyish-ochreous. Forewings sub -oblong, costa moderately 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen oblique, slightly rounded ; 2 from before angle,

 mata dark fuscous, partially whitish-edged, second large, connected with apex 

 of a triangular praetornal blotch of dark fuscous suffusion, its antez'ior edge
