Fauna Ind. Moths, Vol. 3, p. 519) appear to us to represent small forms of Hiyfochrosis canente (Cramer) 
in the case of the latter, at least, this is fairly clear.

1| Thalassodes hypocrites, nov. sp. — 9, 38-42 mm. Excessively like ZezcosgzZofa, Moore, scarcely distinguishable except as 
follows: hindwing with angle more pronounced; hindtibia in c? simple (in Zezcospz/ofa cj fringed throughout with extremely long hair) In addition 
(though these would probably beliable to some variation) the white spots of the postmedian series are rather more extended into dashes ; the antemedian 
white spot on inner margin of forewing and the postmedian on that of hindwing are slightly smaller ; and the terminal line of both wings is more blackened 
atthe vein-ends. Singapore (H. N. Ridley), type 8 ; Khásis, one c ; Sylhet (H. M. Parish), one cg ; Sikkim, July, 1909 (F. Moller), one cg; Pirmad, 
'Travancore (R. S. Imray), one 5 ; all in coll. Brit. Mus. The Za/assodes Jencosbilota recorded by Warren (JVovr£. ZooZ. Vol. 8, p. 193) from Penang 
willalso without doubt be this species, which has been heretofore overlooked. We have only seen true Zewcoslofa from Ceylon. 
2) Thalassodes aucta,nov. sp. — C, 42-46 mm. Face green. Palpusslightly less than one and a half times the length of diameter of eye, 
third joint scarcely over one-third the length of second joint; green above, white beneath. Antenna ochreous (more green when fresh), shaft partly white. 
Thorax and abdomen green above, the latter without white spots or line. Wingsshaped, coloured and marked as in the typical group (27/aria, ofaZrza, etc.), 
hindwing with the anglé moderately pronounced (as in o227iz2); lines moderately distinct, postmedian of forewing not dentate, of hindwing very slightly 
denticulate on the veins. Fringes narrowly greenish proximally, pale yellow distally. Hindtibia not dilated,the spurs rather short. Forewing with M1 varying, 
connate to stalked, hindwing with DC? scarcely atall sinuous. Genitalia with uncus tapering, with broad rounded socii, gnathos slightly scobinated, harpe 
fused, narrow above, with strong curved hook on inner margin, vinculum rounded, penis pestiliate, hroader above ; from the margin of the eighth sternite 
protrude a pair of long tapered horns, widely apart. Cherrapunji, Assam, type and others in coll. L. B. Prout; Dharmsala, in coll, Brit. Mus. It is just 
possible that this will prove to be the true verazza of Guenée, although he gives its expanseas only 38 mm. But we have left undescribed, as more probably 
his veraria, a more widely-distributed species ocurring in India und Java, very similar to azcc£a, but smaller (35-38 mm.), the angle of hindwing on the 
average slightly less strong, the third palpal joint nearly one-half as long as the .second, the hindtibial spurs longer, the fringes usually clearer yellow. 
Should veraria prove to be — azecfa, or distinct from both, this will stand as a species, and we therefore give it the provisional name of Thalassodes 
falsaria, zov, s5., Prout, typified by a c trom the Khàsis incoll. L. B. Prout. 
f 3) Thalassodes dentatilinea, nov. sp. — d, 26 mm. Face red-brown. Palpus red-brown above, second joint white beneath, third 
joint rather elongate, ochreous beneath. Head blue-green, narrowly white between antenn:z. Antennal shaft white proximally, reddish ochreous distally. 
'Thorax and abdomen blue-green above, whitish beaeath. Foreleg red-brown above. Hindtibia dilated with hair-pencil. Forewing with apex acute; blue- 
green, strongly strigulated with white, the costal edge narrowly ochreous; antemedian line scarcely distinguishable among the strigulze, oblique outwards 
from one-fifth costa to one-third inner margin, outcurved in cell and in submedian area; postmedian slightly more distinct, parallel with termen, at 4 mm. 
therefrom, markedly dentate; fringe pale ochreous. Hindwing with the angle at R? strong; colour and strigulation as in forewing; no antemedian line; an 
interrupted white mark along DC ; postmedian line as in forewing, hence strongly bent in middle, as in the rest of the genus. Underside paler, unmarked. 
Aba, S. Nigeria, 16 May, roro (J. JT. Simpson). Type in coll. Brit. Mus., presented by G. A. K. Marshall, on behalf of the Entomological Commission. 
A second g,, from Cape Coast Castle (G. A. Higlett), also in coll. Brit. Mus., is clearly conspecific, but with the forewing so rubbed as to obscure the 
markings. The species is recognizable by its small size, dentate postmedian line and rather strongly angled hindwing, and is erratic in the venation. 
SC! being stalked ; in the type it arises before R1, but in the Cape Coast Castle specimen it has migrated to beyond R, and SC? to beyond SC5. The 
antennal pectinations are of the normal structure, but reach to fully two-thirds.
