and including it, some black dots in the reniform, a black angular

 pinkish, the outer margin being suffused with brown ; hind-wings 

 with the basal third black, then a medial pinkish band and the 

 remainder of the wing blackish-brown, central space pale.

BOCANA MADIDA, nov. 



^ . Brown ; fore-wings with a brown sub-basal spot, a brown 

 oblique band before the middle, a white dot at the end of the cell, a 

 sub-marginal line of pale lunules with black outer edging ; hind- 

 wings with an inner brown band which includes a white dot at the 

 end of the cell, medial and discal sinuous and more or less dentate 

 bands with black inner edgings ; marginal line to both wings 

 lunular and black, cilia dull ochreous.

It is not a typical Bocana, the antennae have a kink in 

 the middle, from which proceeds a tuft of pale hairs, the 

 palpi is disjointed in the middle, the upper half consisting 

 of a thick club bent acutely backwards and has a comb 

 of thick hair on its upper-side, but I cannot diagnose 

 this genus properly with only a single example to work on. 



Rh^senA apicalis, nov. 



(^ . Head, thorax and fore-wings dark grey, palpi white at the 

 tips, head and sides of the thorax marked with white, a black dot at 

 the end of the cell, some brown suffusion at the base of the wing, 

 a black straight band from the costa a little beyond the middle to 

 the hinder angle, the space beyond blackish-brown, a sinuous pale 

 line with black inner edging runs from near the middle of the black 

 band to the costa near the apex, the marginal space beyond this is 

 grey, the marginal line black and contains a black patch in the 

 middle ; abdomen and hind-wings blackish-brown without markings. 



Expanse of wings A inch.
