line, filling up the space between the first and third median ner- 

 vules, and is thus connected with the lower end of the central 

 costal blotch ; fringe olive, chequered with fuscous, with a 

 white apical spot, and preceded by a row of small white 

 marginal dots. Hind wings white, with a broad diffuse olive- 

 fuscous border ; the whole of the space below the median vein 

 from base to the border also suffused with olive, so that but 

 a small portion of the wing towards base remains of the pale 

 ground-colour ; traces of a curved fuscous submarginal line, 

 distinct only on the first median and internal vein, where 

 there is a darker spot edged outwardly by a whitish one ; 

 fringe and margin as in fore wings. Head, face, palpi, thorax, 

 and abdomen olive-ochreous ; the metathorax and two basal 

 segments of abdomen broadly white. Underside whitish ; 

 both wings suffused with dark fuscous towards base and apical 

 region ; the outer line very distinct, especially on the hind 

 wings. 



Expanse of wings 34 millim. 



One male from the Khasias. 



There is a female in the British Museum collection. 



In this species the first subcostal of the hind wing approxi- 

 mates to, but does not anastomose with, the costal vein. 



Parasarama rujitinctalis, sp. n. 



Fore wings white, dusted finely with olive-green scales; a 

 small white costal blotch at base ; basal area restricted, 

 fuscous olive, edged with darker, not reaching beyond one 

 fourth of inner margin, where there is a blackish spot; a 

 central costal dark blotch above the two cell-tufts, which are 

 of raised black scales, with white scales beyond them ; exte- 

 rior line blackish, rather thick, running obliquely outwards, 

 and curved in over the three median nervules, below which 

 it disappears; marginal area fuscous black, strongly tinged 

 with vinous, the vinous scales being massed along the veins, 

 leaving a slightly paler edging to the outer line and a whitish 

 spot on the costa ; fringe vinous, chequered with dark fuscous 

 at the ends of the veins, where there is a series of small pale 

 dots. Hind wings pure white, with a deep fuscous border 

 tinged with reddish, its inner edge running from four fifths 

 of costa to the margin at the first median, there narrowed to 

 the anal angle, with slight darker projections along the veins ; 

 fringe as in fore wings, with a pale basal line, preceded by a 

 broad dark fuscous line. Head, face, thorax, and abdomen 

 white ; collar and patagia streaked with ochreous olive ; 

 abdomen mixed with grey scales and becoming ochreous
