before tornus, fifth reaching half across wing, sixth running almost along termen 

 to tornus ; a black mark running from middle of disc obliquely downwards to 

 beyond fourth streak, by which it is interrupted, bearing a small round golden- 

 ijT, metallic spot near its anterior extremity : cilia whitish-grey, basal third golden- 

 bronze, with a dark fuscous apical hook. Hind wings grey, lighter towards base; 

 «. ,^jA ' cilia pale greyish -ochreous. 

 rc^fji*^ *" -^vVT Nilgiris, 3,500 feet, in May (Andrewes) ; one specimen. This belongs to the 

 '>^ group in which there is no snbapical indentation in the median line of cilia, and 

 is nearly related to several Australian species. 



GlypMpteryx antidoxa^ n. sp. 



^ $ . 19-22 mm. Head whitish-ochreous more or less irrorated with dark 

 fuscous. Palpi fuscous-whitish. Antennae pale greyish-ochreous dotted with 

 dark fuscous. Thorax \ihitish irrorated with dark fuscous. Abdomen fuscous 

 mixed with dark fuscous, segmental margins whitish. Forewings elongate, 

 rither narrow, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa slightly arched, apex rounded, 

 termen sinuate-indented beneath apex, rather oblique ; 7 and 8 separate •, pale 

 whitish-ochreous finely irrorated with black ; markings cloudy, whitish ; a 

 sleader irregular fascia before j, becoming obsolete towards dorsum ; a slightly 

 curved median fascia narrow towards costa, broader and sometimes bifid on 

 dorsal half ; three converging streaks from costa posteriorly, second often ob- 

 solete, uniting with an oblique discal streak near before them, a streak along 

 lower part of termen, and a small spot on tornus in a general cloudy suffusion ; 

 two round black terminal dots about apex, and two others below sinuation . 

 cilia whitish, with a black median line, basal half on tornus speckled with 

 blackish, elsewhere appearing dark fuscous in certain lights. Hindwings dark 

 fuscous ; cilia whitish-fuscous, suffused with fuscous towards base. 



N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; Madulsima, Ceylon (Vaughan) ; in Decem- 

 ber, and from March to June, six specimens. This is a singular species of 

 novel type. 



Glyphipteryx orymagdis, n. sp. 



^. 13 mm. Head and Thorax whitish. Palpi whitish, second joint fuscous 

 except at apex, with long projecting tuft of scales beneath. Antennte grey.

 extremely oblique ; 7 and 8 separate ; light brownish-ochreous, more inf uscated 

 on margins of markings, markings whitish ; about seventeen rather short oblique 

 streaks from costa between \ and apex ; a slender median streak from base to 

 f ; a rather broad dorsal streak from base to tornus, attenuated posteriorly ; 

 posterior half of wing longitudinally streaked with whitish between veins, on 

 costal half very confusedly ; some blackish scales on upper margin of median 

 streak posteriorly, and on lower margin of interneural streak beyond it : cilia 

 whitish, with a dark fuscous median line edged with brownish-ochreous pos- 

 teriorly, and a blackish apical hook. Hindwings narrow, pointed, 3 and 4 

 stalked ; grey ; cilia whitish-ochreous.
