Bocchoris vedonalis. 



Chahula vedonalis, Swinhoe, Ann. & Mag. N. II. (6) xiv. p. 197 (Sept. 



1894). 

 Margaronia sphenocosma, Meyrick, Trans. Eiit. Soc. 1894, p. 456. 



Khasia Hills ; common. 



Sir George Hampson, in ' Moths of India/ iv. p. 284, and 

 again in P. Z. S. 1898, p. 652, gives precedence to spheno- 

 cosma; but this is incorrect. My paper was published on 

 the 1st September, Merrick's paper is in part iii. of the 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 1891-, and Mas not pnl)lislied till later 

 in the month : his type came from Pulo Laut and is in Coll. 

 Ehves ; I have not seen it. If his species is the same as 

 vedonalis (not vedrualis, as incorrectly spelt by Sir George), 

 his name must sink. 



Bocchoris fazanalis, no v. 



^ . Palpi blackish brown, white beneath ; frons luteous 

 white, with a black middle stripe ; top of head and body 

 glaucous brown ; collar and two stripes o\\ each side of thorax 

 luteous white ; body below and legs whitish : wings ochreous 

 brown-piuk, variegated in beautiful shades of colour ; 

 markings somewhat resembling those in B. felphusalis, 

 Walker, but the white markings are larger and ochreous- 

 tinged ; the stripe running parallel to the abdominal margin 

 of the hind wing is continuous throughout, and there are 

 ochreous-shaded submarginal broad stripes on both wings; 

 each spot and stripe is thickly margined with dark brown- 

 pink, as also are the outer margins. 



Expanse of wings \^q inch. 



Khasia Hills ; three examples. 



A beautiful little insect of the acamasalis group, but 

 nearest in markings to telphusalis, but very different in 

 colour from either or from vedonalis or terealis. I have a 

 very fine series of the group in my collection. 



Platamonia oggalis, nov. 



c? ? . Palpi dark chocolate-brown; head, body, and wings 

 pale luteous grey : fore wings with a blackish spot in the 

 middle of the cell and a lunule at the end; an antemedial, 

 outwardly curved, brown line ; a discal line, more or less 

 crenulated, commencing from a spot on the costa, sharply 

 bent inwards below the middle until it nearly reaches below 

 the discal lunule, then straight to the hinder margin, and 

 continued across the hind wings in a nearly straight form,
