136 Mr. W. Warren on new 



restricted, only the large discal spots, the blotches at the ends 

 of the subterminal line, and the exterior line being distinct. 



Expanse of wings 36 millira. 



Three males from the Khasias. 



Charitoprepes, gen. no v. 



Fore wings elongate ; costa straight, becoming convex 

 towards apex ; apex decidedly produced, but blunt ; hind 

 margin oblique, sinuous, slightly concave below apex and 

 convex in lower part ; anal angle obtuse. Hind wings with 

 hind margin entire, curved, with a slight but perceptible bend 

 at the end of the first median nervule. Antenna? (?) fili- 

 form, five sixths of wing; forehead faintly protuberant; 

 tongue present ; ocelli invisible ; labial palpi short, stout, 

 rounded, upturned and appressed to face, third joint hardly 

 visible ; maxillary palpi invisible ; legs rather long and feeble. 

 Neuration normal. Scaling fine, glossy ; no lines, but two 

 stigmata on fore wings. 



Type Charitoprepes lubricosa, sp. n. 



It is dangerous to erect a new genus on a female type ; but 

 the insect appears so entirely different from anything hitherto 

 described, that I venture to think the male will confirm the 

 justice of the view I have taken. 



Charitoprepes lubricosa, sp. n. 



Fore wings smooth, olive-grey, becoming pearly grey along 

 the hind margin and dusted there with fuscous scales, the 

 veins towards the margin finely dark ; the two stigmata, the 

 first small, round, the second, larger and reniform, are darker, 

 as is also the apex of the wing along the costa; middle third 

 of costa pearly white, broadening towards apex. Hind wings 

 like fore wings, with a dark discal blotch ; fringes of both 

 wings pearly grey, with a distinct dark basal line and a broken 

 median line ; abdomen olive-grey ; thorax, head, and face 

 paler, glossy ; basal joint of labial palpi white, second and 

 third fuscous olive. Underside whitish, becoming cinereous 

 towards the hind margins of both wings ; underside of abdo- 

 men and legs pearly white. 



Expanse of wings 32 millim. 



One female from the Khasia Hills. 



Merodictya, gen. nov. 



Fore wings elongate; costa straight, becoming slightly 

 curved before apex, which is blunt, somewhat produced; hind
