116 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Descriptions of 



rior wings ; it cannot readily be confounded with any known 

 species. 



Head brownisli-grey ; face paler. Palpi pale greyisli-ochreous ; 

 the end of the second joint brownish ; terminal joint oclireous- 

 brovvn at the base, and with a black ring before the tip, much 

 thickened with loose projecting scales. Antennae thick, about 

 three-fourths the length of the anterior wings. 



Anterior wings brownish-ochreous, with a dark-brown patch at 

 the base ; before the middle are three tufts of dark scales ob- 

 liquely placed, and beyond the middle are three nearly similar 

 tufts, but the costal and subcostal one are larger and darker than 

 that on the fold ; before the apex lies a small blackish spot, a 

 streak from which runs into the apical cilia ; cilia otherwise 

 ochreous. Posterior wings brownish, with a faint coppery gloss ; 

 cilia greyish. 



Larva green, with the head dark-brown ; feeds on Zizyphus 

 Jujuba. 



Collected by Mr. Atkinson near Calcutta. 



7. Depressarial Ricinella, Atkinson. 



Alis anticis truncatis ochraceis, punctis sparsis fuscis ; macula 



saturate fusca disci ante medium ; alis posticis albidis. 

 Exp. al. 9—11 lin. 



This is not a true Depressaria, the abdomen not being flattened, 

 and the second joint of the palpi being slender, in both which 

 respects it resembles Ortholcelia, but the greater length of the 

 palpi, as long as in Phihalocera, and the different habit of the larva, 

 remove it from OithotceUa ; the length of the antennae, little more 

 than half that of the anterior wings, easily distinguishes it from 

 Phibcdocera. It has a superficial resemblance with Depressaria 

 arenella. 



Head and face ochreous. Palpi long, thin, recurved, the second 

 joint not incrassated, ochreous, with a brown tinge along the sides ; 

 terminal joint ochreous, with a brown ring at the base. Antennae 

 of the male pubescent. 



Anterior wings gradually increasing in breadth to beyond the 

 middle, then becoming slightly narrower, the hind margin trun- 

 cate, ochreous, with numerous small brown spots, and a larger 

 darker spot on the disc before the middle ; towards the apex is 

 frequently a curved row of brown dots ; hind margin spotted with 

 brown ; cilia pale ochreous. Posterior wings whitish, with a few 

 brown dots on the apical margin ; cilia whitish-ochreous.
