each angle of cell, and a third near point of origin of vein 2 ; sometimes a fourth just 

 beyond cell between veins 6 and 7 ; a dark apical suffusion, continued obliquely to inner 

 margin as a post-medial line by two indistinct parallel brown lines or series of suffusions ; 

 four brown dashes on costa near apex ; traces of a waved submarginal line ; outer margin 

 and cilia ochreous more or less irrorated with brown scales. Hind wing greyish ochreous 

 suffused with grey brown near outer margin and on veins 1 to 4 ; cilia ochreous, darker 

 near termination of veins. 



? . Differs from $ in being wholly suffused with dark fuscous with the exception of 

 the costa which is ochreous interrupted towards apex by brown dashes and also by the 

 antemedial line and basal dash. Hind wing lead-coloured ; cilia ochreous, interrupted by 

 fuscous bars near termination of veins. Expcmse, 18 mm. 



The mid-tibia in both sexes is somewhat expanded and both mid- and hind-tibise are 

 moderately hairy, the feature being most marked in the $. The species is quite distinct 

 and comes perhaps in Hampson's Sect. HI of the genus (Fauna of Brit. Ind., Moths, 

 vol. ii, p. 335).

 more strongly marked. Ceylon. 



70. Chusaris nigerrimalis, n. sp. (Plate 1, fig. 11, $). 



$. Antennae annulated, with fascicles of cilia. Palpi with second joint porrect, the 

 third being somewhat upturned and over two-thirds the length of second ; colour uniform 

 smoky black ; fore wing with a black discal dot ; traces of an oblique lighter line passing 

 from costa through discal dot to inner margin ; traces of a lighter submarginal line. 



$ with antennae nearly simple ; fore wing with markings somewhat more distinct, the 

 submarginal line being distinctly angulated opposite discal dot : cilia with lighter bars 

 opposite terminations of veins. [Expanse 12 — 14 mm.) 



This species is abundantly distinct and comes in Hampson's Sect. I. of the genus in 

 Fauna of British India, Moths, vol. iii.
