In neiiration of fore wing this species differs from albihasalis 

 in the following points : — SC^ from close to angle of cell ; 

 SC" rather more shortly stalked with SC\SC^ K^ from 

 an^le of cell; R^ and "R^ minutely stalked. Q neuration 

 practically as in the cf. 



It is just possihle that when more material is available 

 Borneo specimens may be found to differ racially from 

 Sumatra ones. 



113. ECHANELLA OBLIQUISTRIGA Sp. n. 



cf , 9 , Sii— 37 mm. 



(/. Antenna nearly typical but with slightly longer tuft 

 of hah-. Palpus with segment 1 greatly produced (at least IJ 

 diameter of eye) , upcmved in front of face ; segments 2 and 3 

 recurved over head and thorax, reaching to near middle of 

 abdomen, both very slightly down-curved, 2 with a small 

 erect tuft of hair at its proximal end and a similar larger 

 tuft at the junction of 2 with 3, the latter anteriorly 

 blackish posteriorly whitish; segment 3 slightly longer than 2, 

 whitish except at distal end (which is clothed with metallic 

 purple scales) and with a tuft of long whitish hair on its 

 inner side. Fore wing slightly broader than in albihasalis, 

 with ver}' narrow fold at middle of costa and narrow oblique 

 tuft of down-turned hair across disc to just behind angle of 

 cell; coloration much as in temperata, but the buff shades 

 a little brighter and more irregular, almost confined to the 

 base of wing and to a broad horizontal bar in distal end 

 of cell and a lunule from 5-6 costa to termen behind SC^, 

 where it meets a broader bar to the lower angle of cell ; a 

 slight antemedial bar on costa and weak traces of postmedial 

 and subterminal lines behind the broad bar from termen to 

 cell. Hind wing nearly uniform pale fuscous-brown, a little 

 paler towards base, with obsolescent discal spot. Underside 

 pale fuscous-brown, paler on proximal thu'd of hind wing, 

 which has a distinct dark spot on anterior half of 

 discocellular 2 and diffused postmedial and subterminal dark 

 bands, both excurved round cell and angled inward of fold ; 

 fore wing with large rounded pale spot at about one-third 

 costa. 



9 . Similar to the 9 of temperata but with the buff 

 shades rather darker (less contrasted) ; postmedial line of
