Species of Indian Micro- Lepidoptera. 115 



at the base, and with a black ring before the tip. Antennae wliite, 

 with a black spot on the front of the basal joint. 



Anterior wings white ; a black dot on the sub-costal nervure 

 near the base, and the costa dotted with brown-black ; three 

 nearly equidistant reddisli-brown clouds run across the wing, one 

 near the base, one in the middle, and the third at the hind margin; 

 in the spaces between these are too leaden grey spots of irregular 

 form, that before the middle being the darkest, and a leaden grey 

 line runs along the hind margin ; cilia greyish-ochreous, inter- 

 sected by three darker lines. Posterior wings whitish, tinged with 

 pale-brown towards the apex, with pale-ochreous cilia. 



I have before me a single specimen, taken by Mr. Atkinson near 

 Calcutta. 



5. Depressaria Ricini, Atkinson, in litt. 



Alis anticis sulphureis, costa pone medium aurantia, puncto 

 obsoleto disci pone medium, punctisque marginis postici, 

 griseis. 



Exp. al. 8 lin. 



A pretty and very distinct species, easily recognizable by the 

 above characters. 



Head and face pale sulphur-yellow. Palpi whitish ; tip of ter- 

 minal joint dark-fuscous. Antennae pale-brown, strongly ciliated. 



Anterior wings pale svdphur-yellow, with the costa narrowly 

 orange from before the middle to the apex ; on the inner margin 

 near the base is a faint pale grey cloud, and on the disc beyond 

 the middle is a very indistinct grey dot; a row of grey dots runs 

 along the hind margin ; cilia whitish-sulphur. Posterior wings 

 whitish, with the cilia a little darker. 



Larva green, with the head black ; feeds on the castor-oil plant, 

 Ricinus communis, rolling up the edge of a leaf. 



I have before me a single specimen, collected by Mr. Atkinson 

 near Calcutta. 



G. Depressaria Zizyphi, Atkinson. 



Alis anticis brunneo-ochreis, basi saturate fusca, punctis fuscis 

 oblique transversis, tribus ante, et tribus pone medium, e 

 squamis elevatis compositis, macula subapicali nigricante. 



Exp. al. 61—7 lin. 



This appears to be a real Depressaria, though aberrant in the 

 structure of the palpi, and in the tufts of raised scales on the ante-
