158 J. HARTLEY DURRANI ON MICROLEPIDOPTERA 



Imma ramosa, sp. n. (Dint.) 



Antennae blackish. Pal/pi orange-ochreous. Head and Thorax orange-ochreoiis, the 

 latter with two longitudinal blackish streaks ; tegulae blackish, edged with orange- 

 ochreous. Forewings broad, costa rather strongly arched, apex rounded, ternien 

 rounded, not oblique ; 7-8 stalked, 8 to apex ; orange-ochreous, the interneural spaces 

 strongly marked with blackish, causing the neuration to appear very distinctly in 

 lines of the orange ground-colour, except toward the costa and termen where the ground- 

 colour obliterates the dark streaks, narrowly along the costa to vein 10, and thence 

 somewhat broadly by a distinct subterminal band, widest around the apex ; two black 

 spots are more or less distinct at the outer angles of the cell ; the costa and termen 

 are narrowly margined by blackish, the termen with a conspicuous lilac-blue line 

 adjacent to the blackish cilia which become outwardly fuscous ; under side pale orange- 

 ochreous, the costa and termen margined with dark fuscous, and with a strong fuscous 

 fascia from the costa toward the tornus, corresponding with the termination of the 

 dark lines on the upper side, some scattered dark fuscous scales occur toward the base, 

 but there is no indication of the pattern of the neuration as on the upper side. Exp. al. 

 34-36 mm. Hindwings dark fuscous, becoming more blackish outwardly toward the 

 conspicuous pale orange-ochreous marginal band, which is broadest around the apex 

 to vein 4, thence gradually narrower to vein P ; there are some pale yellowish hairs 

 on and below the cubitus ; cilia concolorous with the adjacent part of the wing, the 

 yellow becoming outwardly paler ; under side as above, but with some yellow scaling 

 at the base along vein 12. Abdomen pale orange-ochreous, dark fuscous above. Legs 

 orange-ochreous; hind tibiae and first tarsal joint outwardly fuscous, except along 

 the lower edge.

Allied to grammatistis Meyr., but the ground-colour is yellow, not whitish, the terminal 

 bands of both wings are much broader, and the under side of the hindwings are not 

 suffused with the pale ground-colour. 



Imma timetica, sp. n. (Dint.) 

 Antennae blackish. Palfi orange-ochreous. Head and Thorax orange-ochreous, the 

 latter with two longitudinal blackish stripes, and each of the tegulae with a central 

 blackish stripe. Forewings broad, costa arched, apex rounded, termen rounded, not 

 oblique; 7-8 stalked, 8 to apex; orange-ochreous, black-margined throughout — narrowly 

 along the costa and dorsum, more widely around the apex and termen ; with a broad, 

 oblique, blackish fascia from the costa to the tornus, widening somewhat on the costa ; 

 four blackish streaks arise frojn the base of the wing, one subcostal, one subdorsal, and 

 two median, connate, the upper median furcate, one branch running along vein 11,
