Dasi/chira (?) cruda, sp. n. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen whitish, faintly brown tinged. Fore 

 wings whitish tinged with pale brown, obscurely clouded with darker 

 on the outer area ; traces of a dark brown subbasal line below costa, 

 followed by an elongate dark brown spot. Hind wings whitish. 



Expanse, 37 raillim. 



Collection number, 661 a. 



A female specimen reared on April 6th, 1908, from a larva 

 obtained at Kanshirei, which had white tussocks of hair. Found 

 on a rock, March 8th of the same year. The wings are thinly 

 scaled and semi-transparent, owing no doubt to the fact that the 

 imago was not observed for some days in the breeding-cage, and 

 had time to damage itself. 



In some respects the insect superficially resembles *' Antipha" 

 hasalis, Walk. = Dasychira mendosa, Hiibn.

 w^ards at middle. Hind wings fuscous, darker on the costal area ;
