TLETCHER- LEPIDOPTEEA. 299 



ciliated, basal joint dilated (terminal portion broken). Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 fuscous, intermixed with white scales. Legs pale grey ; spurs on posterior tibia rather 

 short, subequal. 



Fore wing with base of costa strongly arched. Whitish-grey ; basal third of costa 

 broadly dark fuscous, the dorsal area of wing also suffused with dark fuscous towards 

 base ; a prominent dark fuscous discocellular spot ; terminal fifth of wing suffused with 

 fuscous, the inner and terminal margins of this suffusion indicated in darker fuscous. 

 Cilia greyish-fuscous with a dark fuscous basal line ; paler around tornus. 



Hind wing dark fuscous, with a broad whitish-grey postmedial fascia and an ill-defined 

 greyish subterminal fascia. 



Chagos. — A single specimen from He de la Passe (Salomon), 22 June, 1905. This 

 was the only one seen here, but I have a note that I saw an example of this species at 

 Minni-minni (Diego Garcia) on 23 July, 1905.

104. Endotricha sp. n. 



Poivre. — A single male example, taken on 10 October, 1905, without an abdomen and 

 in very worn state. 



Seychelles. — Two specimens collected by Mr. J. A. de Gaye ; they are without data, 

 but are doubtless from Mahe. 



These specimens come very close to E. mesenterialis, Wlk., the basal joint of the male 

 antenna bearing the curious recurved spine characteristic of that section of the genus 

 (see ' Moths India,' iv. p. 133, f. 75, and T. E. S. 1896, p. 483). 



The species appears to differ from mesenterialis in the very distinct broad creamy 

 yellow fascia across both wings and in the different coloration of the cilia, and is almost 

 certainly new, but in the absence of further material in better condition I will not 

 venture to describe or name it. 



I assume that the Seychelles Endotricha recorded by M. I'Abbc de Joannis is this 

 same species and not the true E. mesenterialis, Wlk. (see Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1894, 

 p. 435, and Bull. S. E. Fr. 1899, p. 199).
