HEMEROPHILIDAE 

 Hemerophila Hb. 

 Hemerophila chi, sp. u. (Dint.) 

 Antenime white, annulate with black. Palpi whitish ochreous, median and terminal 

 joints annulate with dark fuscous at the base and before the apex. Head and Thorax 

 ochreous orange, the latter dark fuscous above and posteriorly. Forewings dark 

 fuscous with two rather broad ochreous orange fasciae, each divided by a hne of the 

 dark ground-colour ; the orange colour occurs also in two obscure transverse hues within 

 the basal patch, and in two subterminal patches ; the first fascia is almost straight 

 alono- its inner margin, but on its outer side a rather strong tooth projects on the cell, 

 almost reaching to the second fascia ; the fuscous dividing hne, which traverses the first 

 fascia, nearer to its outer than to its inner margin, is not clearly defined and is preceded 

 throughout, and followed toward the dorsum, by greyish whitish irroration ; the second 

 fascia is somewhat produced along the costa and between the two orange subterminal 

 patches, the hne dividing it is slender, but clearly defined and strongly dentate, pointing 

 obhquely outward from the costa, then inward below a fuscous triangular spot, and 

 again outward to below vein 2, then inward and angulate to the dorsum with a shght 

 projection above vein T''' — a whitish greyish irroration is traceable along the inner side 

 of this Une from the costa, below the cell to the dorsum, and around the discal spot ; 

 ciha greyish whitish, with a blacldsh hne along their base. Exp. al. 12 mm. Hind- 

 wings dark fuscous, \vith a dull orange patch along the lower part of the termen, divided 

 into four spots by an X-shaped mark of the dark ground-colour, the upper spot being 

 obscurely connected with the base by orange scahng ; ciha greyish whitish, with a 

 blackish hne along their base ; under side fuscous, with two orange hnes parallel with 

 the termen, and some orange scahng toward the base. Abdomen fuscous, obscurely 

 barred with dull orange. Legs ochreous, banded with fuscous ; hind tibiae yellowish 

 ochreous, banded with fuscous before each pair of spurs ; hind tarsi black, the third
