 Agastya hyhlceoides, Moore, I. c, p. 379. 



A single specimen, which agrees with Mr. Moore's 

 type. I cannot tell where this curious looking insect 

 should be placed, as Mr. Snellen had not seen it.

249. Agastya flavomaculata, Moore, I. c. 



This appears to differ only in smaller size, and in 

 having a small yellow spot between the median and 

 submedian veins. The type from Darjeeling should be 

 in the Atkinson collection, but I could not find it. —

Genus Crambus, Fahr., Zeller, Chil. et Cramb. Gen. 



et Spec, p. 14. 



250. Crambus latellus, nov. spec. 



A female, without abdomen, of 27 mm. expanse. 



This species is very distinct by its broad white fore wings, 

 sparingly marked with ochreous yellow along the hind margin, and 

 with a black central dot, situated on the base of vein 2, a somewhat 

 unusual place. Palpi as long as the thorax, bicolorous, the basal 

 half ochreous, the central fourth white, the tip black. Head and 

 thoi'ax denuded. Apex of the dull pure white broad fore wings 

 rectangular, somewhat obtuse, as in the European hortuellus, to 

 which group latellus belongs, the hind margin nearly straight, and 

 the fringes with a pearly and pale golden lustre. The markings 

 consist in the above-mentioned very distinct black dot, two faint 

 oblique ochreous streaks on the second half of the costa, and in a 

 slender ochreous transverse line near hind margin, which is oblique 

 and geminated from five-sixths of costa till vein 5, thence parallel 

 to hind margin, single and faintly undulated ; apex with an 

 ochreous spot ; hind margin in cells 1 b and 2 with another, which 

 is adorned with two black dots ; marginal line ochreous. Hind 

 wings with fringes sordid white, unmarked ; marginal Hne ochreous. 

 Under side of fore wings dark grey, the hind sixth yellowish white, 

 with two marginal black dots in cell 1 b and 2 as above. Neuration 

 as in hortuellus.
