 than in Indian $ . These differences may well be racial, 

 but' I i^efrain from erecting a new subspecies upon a single 

 $ . This species is not extremely close to M . decipiens 

 (genotype), but it is now placed in Mixomelia in Coll. Brit. 

 M'u's. and is structurally sufficiently near to decipiens to 

 render it possible to accept the classification.

Coloration and markings nearly as in M. producta, {Nodaria

 Ceylon) from which it differs in the following particulars. 

 Antenna bipectinate (serrate, with stout bristles and cilia, 

 in producta). Wings (especially fore wing) rather narrow; 

 antemedial and subterminal lines rather straighter, more 

 parallel (less oblique) than in producta, of more equal 

 strength, both outstandingly dark; subbasal and postmedial 

 line and discal spot weakly marked. Hind wing with 

 su[>terminal line nearly obsolete before R^ Underside with 

 subterminal dotted line weaker than in producta. Cxround- 

 colour ratjier more fuscous than in producta ; size smaller.

Tliis does not appear immediately close to the last species, 

 but this group is also included by Sir G. Hampson in 

 Mixomelia. Probably diagramnia is somewhat nearer than 

 palumhina to the genotype. ' '

■The 9 frorh 6500 feet is larger than the other, with the 

 postmedial line on fore wing rather more strongly bent 

 outward behind M and the subterminal more broadly 

 interrupted at and about fold. In all these respects it agrees 

 better with Hclia lunijera Moore (Lep. Ceyl., iii, p. 238), 

 which Hampson in his "Moths of India" sinks to discisigna, 

 but which appears to me quite separate, being distinguished 

 in the cf by the serrate-fasciculate antenna (bipectinate in
