Epiplemida. 
Epiplema sponsa, sp. n. 
3d. Cream-coloured, tinged with pink, with black markings 
and bands; thorax with some black marks; abdomen black 
above, with eream-coloured segmental thin bands: fore wings 
with a broad black broken band, composed of a large patch 
on the costa and another on the hinder margin, limited by a 
thin sinuous cream-white band ; on the interior side of this the 
two patches run into each other; the costa between this band 
and the base is also broadly smeared with blackish colour ; 
between the white band and the outer margin is another 
large black blotch in the middle of the space and a deep 
black subapical dot: hind wings with a black spot at the end 
of the cell; a black fascia in the middle from the base to the 
discal white band, and a black outer patch somewhat similar 
to that on the fore wings; a submarginal row of black lunules 
in the middle of the border of both wings. Underside cream- 
coloured, without markings: fore wings with blackish 
suffusion. 
Expanse of wings 3%, inch. 
Shillong. Two examples. 
Geometride. 
Zamarada minimaria, sp. n. 
¢. Head and body purple-brown ; abdomen with a dorsal 
row of luteous dots on each segment. Wings pale luteous: 
fore wings with a brown ringlet at the end of the cell; three 
thin purple-brown transverse bands—subbasal, medial (running 
through the ringlet), and discal—the two former connected 
by a thin band on the hinder margin; the medial and discal 
bands also crossing the hind wings, the latter sinuous and 
limiting on both wings a broad marginal purple-brown bard ; 
cilia luteous, with brown patches opposite the interspaces. 
Expanse of wings 7 inch.
