marginal area jialer between veins 3 and 4 ; a I'aiut reddish streak from the red 

 outer band towards apex above vein ; marginal line waved, blaek ; fringe shining 

 blackish, with base interruptedly paler and a pale patch below vein 4. 



Ilindwing : similar ; the central fascia with two dark bands across it ; the 

 lines beyond it wider and clearer. 



Underside dull dark greyish fuscous, the lines darker ; the outer and 

 submarginal lines forming white spots on the veins, the outer marked by a large 

 pale costal spot ; fringe pale between veins 3 and 4. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen dark fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm.

When fresh the wings are somewhat glossy. 



Subfamily TEPHROGLYSTIINAE. 

 Adeta gen. nov. 



This genus differs from all others of the Tephroclystiinae that I have met with 

 by the absence of any areole ; the cell of the forewing, which is broad, is only one- 

 third the length of the wing, the discocellular inangulate ; vein 2 from just beyond 

 middle of cell, 3 close before 4 ; radials normal ; 7, 11, lu, 9, 8 all stalked from the 

 end of cell ; 12 curved downwards and closely ajiproxi mated for a short distance 

 just after the separation of 7, but not touching. Hindwing rather small, narrow, 

 the hindmargin well rounded, with normal neuration. Palpi upturned in front of 

 face, all three segment thick and squarely cut off at the eud.s ; the forehead with a 

 projecting tuft ; hindtibiae with three spurs, two terminal, one median, as in 

 Megatheca Warr. 



Type : Adeta semifascia spec. nov. 



68. Adeta semifascia spec. nov. 



Forewing : dark fuscous on an ochreous ground-colour ; basal patch small, 

 dark fuscous, crossed by two or three lines ; the markings all more or less vertical ; 

 a pale band beyond basal patch narrow, with a waved central line ; central fascia 

 very broad, consisting of first a broad dark fuscous band, then two curved lines on a 

 pale ground, followed by a slightly curved lunate-edged dark band ; beyond this 

 a narrow pale band with a waved line down it ; marginal area dark fuscous with a 

 regularly lunate pale submarginal line through it very near margin ; a thin dark 

 marginal line interrupted by large pale spots at the vein-ends ; fringe dark fuscous 

 with pale basal line ; cell-spot black, in the iimer dark baud of central fiiscia. 



llindiving : jiale at base ; the central fascia with a simple thick dark inner 

 edge, the outer edge well curved. 



Underside with all the markings, dark and light, extremely concise and distinct. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous; legs ochreous, the forelegs fuscous-tinged. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.

In connection wilii I lie unusnul neuiatinu of this species it may lie well 

 to remark that (Jijinuuscelis cristata Warr., which in shape of wings and stoutness 

 much resembles the present insect, at first sight ajipears to agree with it in 

 neuration, 7, 11, 10, '.), 8 all being stalked together ; but here 11 anastomoses with 12.
