19. Cletthara hittora, sp.n. (PI. I., fig. 2.) 
Primaries ochreous-grey, basal third dark brownish-grey bor- 
dered externally by a lighter band, which is edged by a perpen- 
dicular wavy line of black with an internal edge of whitish ; the 
black line extends from costa straight across to the inner margin ; 
the central area is occupied by a patch of pale reddish-brown, bor- 
dering which, on the posterior edge, is a trace of a very interrupted 
dark line, rising at the centre of the costa and being produced 
outward round this reddish-brown patch, and then receding to the 
internal margin; there is a submarginal band of pale reddish-brown 
shading, edged internally by a toothed interrupted blackish line 
arising in a small apical black patch. Posterior margin finely 
blackish. Fringes brownish-grey with darker dividing line. 
Secondaries grey subhyaline with a dark border. Fringes whitish 
with darker dividing line. Exp. alar. 17 mm. 
There is one specimen, which may be a 9, but the body is 
absent, in which the primaries are all dark grey; all the markings 
of the ¢ are reproduced, with the exception of the reddish-brown 
central area, but the pattern is very much intensified and darkened, 
and each of the dark transverse lines are accompanied by a pale 
border. Exp, alar. 18 mm. 
20. Detopeia pulchella, L. 
Common.
