 Dichocrocis veisealis, nov. 



cJ . Of a uniform pale luteons colour; palpi pure nliite, 

 black above. ^Vings Avitb tlic lines and spots black-l)ro\vu : 

 fore wings with a basal clot, followed by a subbasal short 

 line, a small spot in the middle of the cell, a large spot with 

 a vhite centre at the end ; ante- and postmedial transverse 

 lines each commencing from a spot on the costa, both more 

 or less crcnulatcd, the former curving slightly outwards, the 

 latter bent outwards above the middle and then inwards in 

 tlic form of a square and then straight to the hinder margin ; 

 these lines are continued across the hind wings, the outer 

 one in a sinuous form : outer margin of both wings with a 

 little brown suffusion ; cilia luteous white with brown tips. 



Expanse of wings 1 inch. 



Khasia Hills ; common. 



There are two examples from Sikhim and one from the 

 Kliasia Hills with i).?«('^///«//s,AValker,inthcB.M. drawer 2D; 

 but it is quite distinct from that form. I have a series 

 of each : megillalis is a larger instct with a prominent 

 brown patch in the middle of the fore wings, this form never 

 has ; in the former the palpi are dark brown, in this form 

 they are pure white, and the cell-spot is short and not lunu- 

 lar as in that form, in which also the outer line of the fore 

 wings is deeply indented in its curved portion.

Flores, in Mus. Oxon. 



I point this out, becau.^e it is, in so far as I have been 

 able to ascertain, the only example of Lederer's yrutaiis in 

 any collection in this country (the type of which came from 

 Amboina) : Dr. Dixey has very kindly examined it and says, 

 in reply to my enquiries, '' under Goniorhynchiis yratalis there 

 is one specimen from Flores, one from Khasia Hills, and 

 three from Cherra Punji ; the Flores specimen, though 

 generally resembling the rest, shows slight differences in 

 marking; it has no antennae, these having been broken off 

 close to the head; its palpi correspond with Snellen's figure, 

 while those of the others do not; the antennse of the others 

 show no spine, as that figured by Snellen.'^
