two black curved transverse lines, finely edged with ochreous, 

 the exterior again edged finely with black. This is strongly 

 outcurved in mid-wing towards the subapical sinus in the 

 hind margin, then curved inwards more or less parallel to 

 hind margin ; on the first and second median it is immedi- 

 ately preceded by a small oval white spot ; two black linear 

 dashes accompanied by ochreous scales along the upper part 

 of the subapical sinus ; fringe rather darker, with ochreous 

 base. Hind wings with one or two indistinctly expressed 

 black-edged round marks at end of cell ; an exterior ochreous 

 line, strongly angled outwards on vein 4, and edged with 

 black on both sides, more thickly on the outside above the 

 angle and on the inside below it ; four round white spots in 

 the intraneural interspaces before the hind margin in the 

 upper half of the wing. Head, thorax, and abdomen, and 

 underside of fore wings concolorous. Underside of hind wings 

 mottled ochreous, with broad dark hind margin, in which the 

 four white spots are prominent. 

 Expanse of wings 20 millim. 

 One male from the Khasias. 



Akin to sreapa, Swinhoe, and probably to incertaria, Wlk., 

 from Borneo. 



Epiplema coeruleotincta, sp. n. 

 Fore wings dull greyish brown, speckled with darker, with 

 a paler brown space in the middle from the inner margin, not 

 reaching the costa, followed by a broad smoky-brown shade 

 from inner margin, which also does not attain the costa ; the 

 whole of the marginal area beyond smoky brown and grey ; 

 extreme hind margin dark brown-black, edged internally by a 

 wavy line from costa just before apex to the angle on the 

 second median vein ; on the costa at two thirds is a black- 

 brown triangular blotch, followed by three smaller ones before 

 apex ; fringe dark brown-black, with a paler line at base. 

 Hind wings with the costal half deep brown, with numerous 

 bright bluish-white freckles and two pale yellowish-white 

 blotches in the middle ; inner half dull paler brown ; hind 

 margin and fringe as in fore wings, preceded by a pale wavy 

 fascia, which is dark-edged internally and itself preceded by 

 a darker shade. Head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown, 

 dusted with darker ; collar paler. Underside dull brownish 

 grey in the fore wings ; more or less tinged with whitish in 

 the hind wings, and with the discal markings white. 

 Expanse of wings 28 millim. 

 A few from Queensland. 



The ground-colour is variable, some examples being very 

 much paler.
