ahavalis, (Echana ahavalis Wlkr., Spec. Lep. Ins., xvi, p. 196, 

 1856, Ceylon) but smaller, though quite as highly raised 

 (filled with very dense liair?) and forming a more distinct 

 swelHng at costa. Vein SC^ abnorinally close to SC^ SC'^ 

 abnormally close to SC^-^, the two pairs of veins widely 

 separated by the fold which is almost as strongly swelled 

 beneath as above. Coloration appears more or less as in 

 ahavalis (condition is not good), the lines almost obsolete, 

 a slight, waved, dark subterminal the least indistinct. Hind 

 wing pale fuscous- brown with faint indications of a discal 

 spot and of curved postmedial and subterminal lines, which 

 are more distinct beneath, where the ground colour is whiter. 

 Fore winaf beneath nearlv uniform drab-brown, the fold more 

 ochraceous white towards costa. 



9. Much like a small /cnfa//.<? 9, Delt. et Pyr., p. 66, 

 1854, Central India, the hind wing slightly narrower and 

 with more dark irroration than in Ceylon and Indian 9 of 

 lentalis. This cannot be regarded as a certainly correct 

 pairing, the 9 in this genus so strongly resembling one 

 another. 



Mt. Murud, 7200 feet (summit) November — 1 cf ; without 

 elevation, November— 1 9 ; Mt. Duht, 3000 feet— 1 o"- 

 Also in Coll. Joicey from Perak, 2000-2500 feet (W. 

 Doherty) — 2 cf . 1 9 < and in Coll. Brit. Mus. from Sarawak. 

 4 cf and a (doubtful) 9 - and from Singapore, 3 cf placed 

 over a blank label. 



Some specimens from Singapore and Perak seem a trifle 

 broader winged and paler in tone than Sarawak ones and 

 may prove distinct, but the difference may well be merely 

 aberrational. 



109. Hydrillodbs euc.adla sp. n. 



O*, 32 mm. 



Costa of fore wing above with small, somewhat flattened 

 fold just bevond middle, preceded on proximal side by a 

 narrow flap edged with short, dense, down-turned scales; 

 SC^ given off almost opposite to or slightly before E', very 

 -close to SC" ; SC^ stalked with SC^-^- to nearly one-third. 

 Palpus normal (rounded in front). Antenna snbserrate, 

 with bristles and ciliation about twice diameter of shaft.
