120. Circobotys ? phycidalis, nov. spec. 



A pair; the ^ 20 mm., the 2 22 mm. expanse. 



This species may, provisionally at least, be placed in Circobotys ; 

 the shape of wings is nearly the same as in limbata, but the apex 

 of fore wings, though strongly produced, not falcate. The antennae 

 of the male have an obtuse tooth-like projection at the upper side 

 of the basal joint, and the first sixth of the shaft is curved down- 

 wards, with a tuft of scales in the cm've, as in the knot-horns ; the 

 remainder is setaceous base, as the whole female antennae are. 

 Palpi fully twice as long as the head, rostriform, pointed, narrower 

 than in limbata, and a little pilose. Front obtusely prominent. 

 Head, thorax and fore wmgs luteous, mixed with grey ; the costa 

 ochreous, very narrow towards the base. Lmes as in limbata, but 

 more continuous and distinct. Fringes a little paler than the wing. 

 Hind wings with fringes a trifle paler and more glossy than the 

 front pair, the anal fourth whitish. Abdomen pale greyish 

 ochreous, whitish beneath. Under side of wings pale gi'ey, glossy, 

 unmarked.

121. Calamochrous dichi'oma. 



Ehulea dichroma, Moore, Desc. Indian Lep., p. 223 ; 

 S. & C, No. 4133. 



This species may be placed in Calamochrous, Lederer ; 

 the front is prominent, as it is in acutellus, Eversm. 

 (though Lederer does not mention it), only more rounded ; 

 the palpi are porrect, and the shape of wings nearly 

 the same, the apex of fore wings being still more pro- 

 duced. Nervulation normal, the discoidal cell of fore 

 wings fully half as long as the wing.

122. CalamocJirous hrevipalpis, nov. spec. 



A male of 33 mm. expanse. 



Allied to C. dichroma ; the discoidal cell of fore wings also fully 

 half as long as the wing, the nervulation normal, but the rostri- 

 form, bicolorous labial pali)i shorter, not fully twice as long as the 

 head. The betaceous, nearly bare, antennae, the white-raargined
