blotch resting on dorsum towards base, reaching half across wing, in 9 by a 

 small irregular dark green transverse mark beneath costa at ^ ; in ^ upper 

 half of central fascia very dark green, irregular, becoming brown on costa, in 

 9 this mark is broken up and much reduced, rising on costa nearer base at ^ ; 

 three small semi-oval dark brown marks on posterior half of costa : cilia pale 

 brownish-ochreous, tips brown, except towards tornus. Hindwings in $ 

 fuscous, towards costa posteriorly sometimes slightly tinged with orange, and 

 strigulated with darker ; in 9 light ochreous-orange, towards dorsum some- 

 times slightly infuscated, posteriorly strigulated with fuscous, terminal edge 

 sometimes fuscous ; cilia in $ fuscous, in 9 light fuscous. )p -7^0 



Peradeniya, Maskeliya, Gampola, Ceylon, from May to January ; fourteen 

 specimens (Pole, Green, Alston). 



Ulodemis, n. g. 



Antenna in $ shortly ciliated, with dorsal notch in stalk near base. Palpi 

 rather long, porrected. Thorax without crest, Forewings with 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to termen. Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 closely approxi- 

 mated at base, 6 and 7 connate or short-stalked. 



Apparently allied to Pandeniis. 



Ulodemis trigrapJia, n. sp,

 blackish spot. Abdomen bronzy-grey. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa an- 

 teriorly moderately arched, posteriorly slightly sinuate, apex obtuse, termen in 

 ^ almost straight, somewhat oblique, in 9 somewhat sinuate, hardly oblique, 

 rounded beneath ; brown, more or less strewn with blackish-grey strigulse, in 

 9 sometimes hardly perceptible ; three obscure slender whitish oblique trans- 

 verse lines, nearly straight and tolerably parallel, indicating edge of basal 

 patch and margins of moderate central fascia, which are hardly darker than 

 ground colour : cilia brown, tips pale. Hindwings in $ with subdorsal 

 groove containing expansible hair-pencil ; grey ; cilia light grey, with darker 

 basal line. 



Bhotan (3,000 feet) in April, May and August ; three specimens (Dudgeon). 



GELECHIADiE. 



Thyrsostoma, n. g. 



Head smooth ; tongue developed. Antennae |, in $ moderately ciliated (1), 

 basal joint very long, without pecten, second joint also elongate, about half 

 basal, its apex angularly prominent above. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 

 joint with very long fine expansible fringe of hairs beneath, terminal joint as 

 long as second, thick, tolerably pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Pos- 

 terior tibias with three tufts of scales above. Forewings with 4 absent, 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to costa, 9 absent, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings ^, very 

 narrowly elongate-trapezoidal, acutely pointed from %, cilia 4 ; 2-5 parallel, 

 6 and 7 approximated towards base.
