45. Hydrillodes sp. 



Seychelles. — Four specimens : three from Praslin in November 1905, and one from 

 Mahe [Lupont). Of these only the last has any pattern remaining on the wings, and 

 this specimen has a lighter median bar across the fore wing, which does not seem to be 

 normal. 



In pattern of markings and general coloration this species comes closest to H. nilgiri- 

 alis, but structurally it seems to fall into Section II A. of Hampson's classification 

 (Moths India, iii. p. 55), the male antenna having very long ciliations, but the fore wing 

 without a very large tuft on underside of costa. 



This moth is almost certainly a new species, but I refrain from describing it as such 

 from the poor material before me.
