 lated line bounded externally by a pale cupreous-brown stripe 

 across the disc just beyond the cell ; a marginal series of alternate 

 black and pale cupreous dots ; fringe dark gi'ey ; secondaries 

 pearly white ; veins and a slender marginal line cupreous-brown ;

Leucocosmia, n. g. 



General aspect of Orthosia, but much paler ; allied to 

 Enargia {E. ahluta), but the primaries narrower, and 

 the antenuffi, with the exception of the basal joint, very 

 slender, filiform, tapering. 



21. Leucocosmia ceres, n. s. 



3" . Primaries above pale sericeous sandy brown, almost golden, 

 crossed towards base by three irregularly zigzag stripes formed by 

 somewhat contorted double lines of brown, duller and darker than 

 the ground colour ; a transverse brown stripe, dentate-sinuate 

 externally, crosses the wing just beyond the middle ; between this 

 and the basal stripes is a black discoidal dot indicating the 

 orbicular spot, and at the end of the cell (bounded internally by 

 the post-median stripe) is a small unciform whitish spot repre- 

 senting the reniform spot ; external two-sevenths dusky, darker 

 than the ground colour, bounded internally by a cream-coloured 

 slightly sinuous stripe, beyond which a,re two parallel darker brown 

 lines ; a submarginal trisinuate whitish stripe ; a marginal series 

 of minute black dots ; fringe creamy white, with dusky brown 

 external edge ; secondaries pearly hyaline whitish, the veins and 

 broad diffused external and abdominal borders pale sericeous gold- 

 brown ; body pale brown, slightly greyer than the primaries, below
