Pyrales from the Khasia IHUs. 201 



marginal band, sliglitly curved and bulging inwards on the 

 hinder margin, with a blackish line close to its inner margin : 

 hind wings with a brown ringlet at end'of cell, a blackish 

 space at the apex, and a black marginal lunular line ; cilia of 

 both wings luteous, with a black macular line in it. Under- 

 side : body, legs, and wings whitish ; wings with the ringlets 

 at the ends of the cells distinct, and the marginal band grey 

 with a short sinuous black band on its inner side ; fore legs 

 with brown stripes. The female differs from the male in 

 having the marginal band only faintly indicated. 



Expanse of wings 1 inch. 



Shillong. One male and one female. 



This species does not quite correspond in contour of fore 

 wings with C. umbrosa ; it has some affinity to the genus 

 Mtmorista, but at present I prefer leaving it here. 



Genus Kavanoa, Moore. 

 26. Ravanoa striguhsa, sp. n. 



^ . Palpi white, with a brown patch above towards the 

 tips ; body rubbed, but the abdomen has the anal portion 

 ochreous, with a white band at the tip and a white and black 

 band near the tip. Wings luteous white, with transverse 

 brown bands, five on each wing, besides a thin marginal band ; 

 the cilia is long and is four-lined — luteous, brown, luteous, and 

 brown, — making the wings look as if the marginal band was 

 duplex and the cilia luteous tipped with brown ; the transverse 

 bands are nearly straight and at even distances, commencing 

 near the base ; on the fore wings the first two are complete, the 

 third stops short of the costa near the commencement of the 

 fourth, which only runs halfway down the wing, and also is 

 connected along the costa with a short streak between the 

 second and third; the fifth is submarginal and does not quite 

 touch the hinder margin : the hind wing has a large ochreous 

 patch at the anal angle, none of the bands touch the costa, 

 and all run to the ochreous patch inclining towards the anal 

 angle of the wing. Underside whitish throughout, with the 

 bands faintly visible ; fore legs with brown bands. 



Expanse of wings -]% inch. 



Shillong. One example.
