The single linear corneous mark beneath the centre of the 

 basally bisinuate basal radial abscissa is unique in my knowledge. 

 This species is very like Allocamptus umhilatus, Grav., but with 

 the radius a little less strongly reflexed, the first discoidal cell 

 narrower though geniculate at the same point above, and the rneta- 

 thorax is scabrously circumstriate, but much less strongly than in 

 the latter species and A. sinuatus, Mori. It is also closely allied 

 to Henicospihis Jlavicaput, though at once known by the single 

 linear mark, the much more strongly sinuate base of the radius, 

 strongly curved first cubital nervure and less strongly sculptured 

 metathorax.

$ . A pale luteous species, with no black markings. Htad pale 

 navous. Antenna*, red. Tkorctx with the metanotum basally 

 glabrous, the basal impression with u stout central and two or 

 three lateral carinse, " the base, behind the keel, is irregularly 

 striated ; the striae in the centre longitudinal, the others 

 irregularly transversely, the rest of the segment with close, 

 rather strong, regularly roundly curved stria? ; " pro pleura? closely 

 and obliquely striate, mesopleurae closely punctate, metapleura; 

 closely, coarsely and obliquely striate. Scutellum laterally carinate 

 throughout. Abdomen darker than pale luteous, especially 

 towards its anus. Leys immaculate, densely pilose, but more 

 sparsely on the tibiae and tarsi. Wings hyaline, with the stigma, 

 costa, and basal abscissa of the radius testaceous ; glabrous areu 

 with a single small pyriforin corneous mark ; transverse cubital 

 nervure slightly and roundly curved, as long as the recurrent ; 

 disco-cubital nervure centrally curved and incrassate, broadly 

 fenestrate. 



Length 21 millim. 



CEYLON : Pundaluoya (E. E. Green). 



The type was bred by Green from the Vapourer Moth, DasycJiira 

 horsfieldi, Saund., in January.* I consider it probable that 

 this species is not distinct from the next ; 1 have seen no 

 specimens that I can ascribe to it.

 description is necessary ; therefrom it differs in having the sub-
