Apparently allied to Tortrix, but the narrow hindwings "with long cilia, the 

 reduction in the cell and consequent increase in length of veins, and the curious 

 scale-distribution make it seem abnormal. 

 Diactenis pteroneura, n. sp. 



£ 9. 8-10 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-white, more or less tinged with 

 yellow-ochreous. Abdomen grey, apex whitish-ochreous. Forewings suboblong, 

 costa moderately arched, more strongly in £, apex obtuse-pointed, termen 

 obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous, pellucid between veins except towards 

 margins, veins fringed with ochreous and dark fuscous scales ; a more or less 

 developed suffused spot of ochreous and blackish scales on or towards dorsum 

 it \ ; upper half of central fascia more or less defined, ochreous, suffused with 

 blackish on costa ; a more or less indicated curved transverse series of blackish 

 specks in disc posteriorly ; costa posteriorly sometimes dotted with dark 

 fuscous : cilia whitish-ochreous, on costa mixed with dark fuscous. Hindwings 

 pellucid, veins fringed with whitish and grey scales, apex and termen more or 

 less suffused with grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 



Ten specimens, Maskeliya and Madulsima, Ceylon ; Coorg (3,500 feet) ; from 

 February to October (Pole, Vaughan, Newcome). 

 Paratoma, n. g. 



Antennas in $ minutely ciliated. Palpi moderate, second joint curved, 

 ascending, with tolerably appressed scales, terminal joint moderate, oblique. 

 Anterior tibiae and tarsi very short, stout. Forewings with tufts of raised 

 scales, apex obliquely rounded and termen prominent, so that apparent apex is 

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

 approximated towards base. 

 Related to Oxygrapha. 

 Paratoma clorcas, n. sp. 



#$. 12-16 mm. Head and thorax reddish-brown. Abdomen dark fus- 

 cous. Forewings elongate, costa strongly arched throughout in a continuous 

 even curve from base almost to tornus, somewhat roughened with scales to- 

 wards middle ; varying from pale whitish- fuscous to dark red-brown, more or 

 less strigulated with ferruginous or variably mottled with reddish-fuscous, 

 always with a dark reddish-fuscous streak along costa throughout from base 

 to tornus ; sometimes a thick dark fuscous streak along dorsum, or a large dark 

 fuscous rounded dorsal blotch extending from base to tornus and reaching 

 more than half across wing ; sometimes some scattered silvery-white dots, 

 a transverse silvery-white mark in disc before middle, and an oblique mark 

 before apex, apparently only in $ ; sometimes several dots of raised black 

 scales in disc : costal cilia ferruginous-orange throughout from base to 

 apparent apex, beneath this fuscous. Hindwings dark fuscous ; cilia grey, 

 base darker, round apex whitish or orange-tinged. 



Eighteen specimens, Khasi Hills, in June. This is a highly variable species, 

 but easily recognised.
