Stemmatophora pallidicosta. (Plate CLXXII. fig. 17.) 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Male. Autenuffi and head pale ehestniit-brown ; thorax purplish red-brown, the scales 

 tipped with grey ; abdomen red-brown. Fore wing red-brown, the basal half suffused with 

 purplish; the costa suffused with grey to just before the apex; an indistinct medial dark 

 line augled below the costa ; a more distinct oblique postmedial Hue. Hind wing yellowish 

 white, suffused with red towards the outer margin, with a hue postmedial red line. 



Stemmatophora ochrealis. (Plate CLXXI. fig. 5.) 



Expanse |- inch. 



Male and Female. Closely allied to S. vidsalis, Wlk., but rather larger and with hardly 

 any trace of the piuk suffusion. Fore wing with the autemedial line further from the base ; 

 the postmedial line more waved and angled at the first median nervule. Hind wing with the 

 postmedial line indistinct and only present on the disk, and further from the outer margin 

 than in S. vidsaUs. 



This species with S. vidsalis and S. imbidalis form a group distinguished from typical Stem- 

 matophora by their small size, the presence of pale strig;e on the costa of the fore wing, aud by 

 the male having tufts of long scales projecting backwards over the abdomen from the tegulje.
