liind wings without suffusion ; a black dot at end of cell ; a 

 black discal crenulate line across both wings. 



Expanse of wings 1 j^q inch. 



Shillong. One pair. 



Badiza distorta, sp. n. 



^ $ . Palpi with the second and last joints with tufts of 

 thick hairs ; antennse with fine bipectinations, which in tlie 

 middle are thickened on one side for a short distance ; body 

 and basal half of wings greyish ochreous. Fore wings with a 

 small white spot in the middle of the cell, a larger one at the 

 end ; both wings crossed by a medial white band, containing 

 a sinuous purple line, the band suffused with ochreous on fore 

 wings, margined inwardly with purplish suffusion on hind 

 Avihgs, followed by a broad purple discal band limited out- 

 wardly by a submai-ginal sinuous white line ; the marginal

 wings blackish brown, with indistinct antemedial, medial, 

 and discal waved black lines, the last with some ochreous
