rated with purplish fuscous and dark fuscous ; a curved postmedian fascia more 

 or less obscurely indicated by margins of purplish-fuscous and dark fuscous 

 suffusion, narrowed dorsally, enclosed portion sometimes ferruginous-tinged : 

 cilia whitish-ochreous tinged with fuscous, more yellow-ochreous basally, with 

 subbasal fuscous line, on costa deep yellow-ochreous. Hindwings pale whitish- 

 ochreous, towards termen slightly infuscated ; a sHght groove on lower margin 

 of cell ; cilia whitish-ochreous, base yellowish-tinged, sometimes with indis-

Five specimens, Maturatta, Ceylon, in July (Pole), / 



Macrernis rostrata, n. sp. 



^. 18-21 mm. Head and thorax light brownish-ochreous, faintly lilac- 

 tinged, hairs of crown projecting between antennfe. Palpi pale ochreous, mixed 

 with deeper ochreous and dark fuscous. Antennae whitish-ochreous, faintly 

 fuscous-ringed. Abdomen pale ochreous, Forewings elongate, narrow, 

 posteriorly slightly dilated, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, termen 

 'sinuate, oblique ; brownish-ochreous, with a few scattered dark fuscous scales ; 

 a dark fuscous mark along base of costa ; a dark fuscous streak of somewhat 

 raised scales along dorsum from base to tornus, enclosing a groove along vein 

 1 b, with a flap of hairscales curved over it from above towards base, upper 

 edge of streak with two strong projections at ^ and |, first triangular, reaching 

 half across wing, second fascia-like, parallel to termen, reaching above middle 

 of wing ; a suffused dark fuscous streak along termen : cilia light brownish- 

 ochreous, with one or two indistinct fuscous lines, Hindwings whitish- 

 ochreous-grey ; cilia whitish-ochreous. 



Six specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in January, February, and July (Pole, 

 Alston, de Mowbray) It seems probable that Frisilia nesciatella, Walk,, 

 though described as a male, is the female of a species of this genus, in which 

 case the generic name Frisilia would have to be adopted ; but I am not yet 

 able to identify with certainty Walker's species, 

 Heliangara, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales, face retreating ; tongue developed. Antenna) 

 over 1, thick, compressed, in $ simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten, 

 liabial palpi moderately long, curved, ascending, smooth-scaled, terminal joint 

 shorter than second, acute. Posterior tibise rough-scaled above, Forewings 

 with 2 from angle, 3 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 9 and 10 from near 

 7, 11 from before middle, Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 1^: 3 and 4 

 stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 long-stalked, 



A genus of very peculiar facies, but apparently bearing much the same 

 relationship to Narthecoceros that Tipha does to Macrernis. 



Heliangara lampetis, n, sp. 



$ ^. 11-13 mm. Head shining ochreous-bronze, face paler. Antenna) 

 ochreous-yellowish, tip infuscated. Palpi ochreous-yellow. Tlrorax shining
