of spots at the base ; a patch on the costa before the middle, 
an angulated large costal patch beyond the middle, and two 
towards the apex, the first two patches more or less connected 
with macular bands running outwards, the subapical spot 
connected with a macular band curving inwards; many con- 
nected spots and patches on the outer third of the wing, all 
these marks very difficult to describe: hind wing with a discal 
outwardly curved row of well-separated small spots, three 
short bands of conjoined spots on the lower part of the abdo- 
minal margin, and a series of marginal spots—all these 
marks pale black ; the wings are very lightly clothed, and 
consequently the markings of the underside are identical with 
the markings on the upperside.

flab, Assam. 
A common species in the Khasia Hills. I have received 
many examples from my native collector, all males. Sir 
George Hampson has sunk my genus and species to Meyrick’s 
genus and species from Fiji, the unique type of which is a 
female, but he has described and figured the Assam male. 
It is impossible to believe that the two forms so many 
thousands of miles apart can have any connection with each 
other, and it is not scientifically justifiable to jump to such a 
conclusion on account of a similarity of pattern. 
Heterocnephes ceegialis, nov. 
36. Allied to H. scapulalis, Led., of which I have a long 
series from New Guinea and from Goodenough Island, but is 
much larger; palpi and top of head pale ochreous ; head, 
body, and wings chocolate-brown, much as in 7. scapulalis 
and H. lymphatalis, Swinhoe, from Assam, of which I have 
also a long series; thorax with four longitudinal whitish 
stripes ; abdomen with ill-defined whitish segmental bands, 
anal tuft large, black: fore wing with a small, triangular, 
pale ochreous costal patch before the middle and another
