Charitoprepes luhricosa, sp. n. 



Fore wings smooth, olive-grey, becoming pearly grey along 

 the hind margin and dusted tliere with fuscous scales, the 

 veins towards the margin finely dark ; the two stigmata, the 

 first small, round, the second, larger and reniform, are darker, 

 as is also the apex of the wing along the costa; middle third 

 of costa pearly white, broadening towards apex. Hind wings 

 like fore wings, with a dark discal blotch ; fringes of both 

 wings pearly grey, with a distinct dark basal line and a broken 

 median line ; abdomen olive-grey ; thorax, head, and face 

 paler, glossy ; basal joint of labial palpi white, second and 

 third fuscous olive. Underside whitish, becoming cinereous 

 towards the hind margins of both wings ; underside of abdo- 

 men and legs pearly white. 



Expanse of wings 32 millim. 



One female from the Khasia Hills.
