38. Endotricha serratalis, nov. spec. 



Two females of '22 mm. expanse. 



Serratalis has quite the neuration of fiamynealis, the palpi are 

 also as in that species, and thus, though I do not know the male, I 

 do not doubt that its right place is in Endotriclia. Palpi, head, 

 thorax, and basal area of fore wings chestnut-brown, the central 

 area somewhat paler, the third or marginal greyish, except at the 

 apex, where it is brown. Lines pure white ; the first at one-third, 

 almost perpendicular, with three faint undulations ; the second, as 

 usual in Endotriclia, near to the hind margin, and so the central 

 area very broad : this second line begins at seven-eighths of the 

 costa ; its first part is very slender, waved, parallel to hind margin, 

 then, from vein 4 to the inner margin, it is tiirned inward, thicker 

 and strongly indented. Costa of central area with minute white 

 dots. Fringes fuscous with pale base. Hind wings pale grey. 

 Under side variegated with brown and dark grey, and an indented 

 discal line.

 39. Scoparia pulvei'alis, nov. sp. 



Six specimens of both sexes of 18 — 21 mm. expanse. 



The shape of wings in this species is about the same as in 

 centuriella, Wien. Verz., sibirica, Led., and dubitalis, Hiibn., but 

 it is distinguished by the very coarse and abundant black suffusion 

 of the fore wings, which renders the markings of some specimens 

 very indistinct. Palpi black with whitish base. Head blackish 

 grey. Thorax bluish grey, much suffused with black scales. Fore 

 wings broad, the hind margins straight, apex rather obtuse. 

 Ground colour clear bluish grey, as in Scoparia frequentella, 

 Staint., but in some specimens (from Sikkim interior) so much 

 suffused with black that the ground seems black, sparingly suffused 

 with bluish grey. First line indistinct, straight, slightly undulated, 

 the ordinary adjoining black markings horizontal, elongate, large 

 but indistinct, in one specimen filled u^} with ochreous brown, in 

 the others black. The 8-shaped mark very broad, indistinct, black, 

 or, in one specimen, filled up with ochreous brown. Direction of 

 second line as in centuriella and dubitalis, hardly oblique, with a 

 short but distinct curve, the costal part straight. Siibtei-minal 

 band black, the subterminal line as in dubitalis, close to hind
