The antennffi of Aha resemble those of Lymantria, the 

 long pectinations being ciliated so as to give them a ragged 

 feathery appearance, 



Drepanulidae. 

 21. Callidrepana lunulata^ sp. n. 



Stramineous : wings irrorated with shining scales, crossed 

 towards the base by an irregular series of purplish-brown 

 dots and lunules ; a silvery white spot at the end of each 

 discoidal cell, and a rather large blackish and silvery-centred 

 brown spot at the base of the second and third median 

 branches ; an irregularly arched and angulated discal series 

 of purplish-brown lunules and a submarginal series of short 

 dashes : primaries with a blackish dot in the cell ; costal 

 margin brown at base, but becoming ochreous towards the 

 apex ; a rusty brownish cuneiform patch partly suffused with 

 silver on outer margin at apex ; anal half of abdomen white. 

 Wings below pale shining stramineous ; the markings of the 

 upper surface faintly indicated here and there : body below

All the species of this singular little Geometriform genus 

 hitherto described are white, and in all of them there is a 

 discal angulated series of spots, lunules, or short dashes ; the 

 Ceylonese form, T. aJbuj is the most heavily marked, having 

 not only a boldly defined discal series, but both submarginal

 discal series dark and sharply defined, but small, the sub- 

 marginal series indistinct or obsolescent, the marginal series 

 small but distinct, whereas in the present species an indication 

 of the discal series alone remains. 



In addition to the foregoing new species, there is in the
