Epiblemim:. 



Lobesia ccolopa, n. sp. 



$ 9- 10-12 mm. Head and thorax ochreous mixed with brown. Abdo- 

 men dark grey. Forewings elongate, narrow at base, gradually dilated, costa 

 slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, oblique ; pale ochreous, 

 wkab^a ifiew scattered blackish strigulse ; costa strigulated with blackish ; basal 

 patch irregularly suffused with brown sprinkled with blackish, outer edge 

 obtusely angulated in middle, followed on dorsum by a dark grey triangular 

 blotch reaching more than half across wing ; central fascia brown, mixed with 

 blackish on upper half, posterior edge with a large irregular prominence below 

 middle ; a small dark fuscous spot on costa at f , surrounded with some brown 

 suffusion ; a more or less defined triangular spot of dark grey suffusion on 

 dorsum before tornus, whence an irregular line of blackish grey scales proceeds 

 towards costa ; a suboval brown transverse blotch resting on lower half of 

 termen ; a small brown apical spot : cilia pale ochreous, with a brown basal line. 

 Hindwings dark grey, in $ thinly scaled throughout, in 9 towards base only ; 

 cilia grey, with darker basal line. 



Ten specimens, Maskeliya and Peradeuiya, Ceylon ; Bombay ; from Novem- 

 ber to May (Pole, Green, Young). Closely related and similar to the European 

 L. permixtana, but in that species the $ has white hindwings. Veins 3 and 

 4 of hindwings appear to be connate in £ but closely approximated in 9 . 



Artlcolla, n. g. 



Antennae in $ simple. Palpi moderate, porrected, densely scaled. Thorax 

 with posterior crest. Posterior tibise clothed with rough projecting scales 

 above and beneath. Forewings with small tufts of raised scales ; 8 and 9 

 stalked. Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 stalked. 



Allied to Platypeplus, from which it differs by the stalking of 8 and 9 of 

 forewings. 



Articolla cyclidias, n. sp. 



<£. 13-14 mm. Head and palpi dark grey, crown light ochreous or reddish 

 Thorax fuscous, dorsally more or less ochreous, sides dark fuscous. Abdomen 

 dark grey, anal tuft whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa 

 gently arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, rather oblique ; dark 

 fuscous, sprinkled with blackish ; a narrow patch of pale ochreous suffusion on 

 dorsum from \ to beyond middle ; a large roundish ochreous-whitish blotch 

 occupying apical f of wing, containing a central spot of ochreous suffusion,
