7. Toccolosida ? pallifrons, nov. spec. 



One female of 31 mm. expanse. 



It is only provisionally that this species is described here as a 

 Toccolosida, as the male is still miknown to me. I do not per- 

 ceive maxillary palpi, Avhich are short and filiform, but distinct in 

 T. ruhriceps ; however, as the head of the only female is damaged, 

 these organs may exist m perfect specimens. Head and thorax 

 luteous, mixed with rufous brown. Fore wings dark fuscous at the 

 base and rufous brown between the discoidal cell, vein 5 and the 

 inner margin ; the costal half of the wing pale greyish luteous, with 

 a black discal dot. Kufous part of the wing marked with two 

 oblique pale transverse hnes, the second somewhat flexuous, whiter 

 and remounting close to hind margin till the apex. Fringes dark 

 grey, variegated with whitish. Form of fore wings nearly as in 

 T. rubriceps. Hind wings with a very distinct obtuse angle in 

 cell 3, thus of a different shape as in rubriceps. The outer third 

 is rufous brown, the basal part blackish brown, with two flexuous 

 white lines and a vitreous spot between them.

In the description of the genus Suradeva, Moore, 

 Lederer says : — " Der Hinterleib .... beim Manne .... 

 gegen hinten zu sehr erweitert, mit klumpenformiger, 

 amEnde borstig behaarter Afterspitze die eigenthiimlich 

 gebildete Afterklappen vermuthen lasst," A male of 

 this species, from the Naga Hills, shows that this club- 

 like end of the abdomen hides a considerable tuft of 

 long hairs ; it is exserted in the said specimen, which 

 bears also a MS. note, intimating that in the living 

 insect the anal tuft smells strongly of bitter almonds.
