suhoblong projection of black and ferruginous scales occupying its apex 

 on both sides, with its lower margin triangularly emarginate. 



Karwar, in August (Maxwell) ; five specimens. Mr. Maxwell, who is at 

 present in England, informs me that these were all taken from a single 

 vine-plant on which the species was plentiful, and that he will be able to 

 ascertain its name on his return. 



Marasmarcha phlyctaenias, n. sp. 



S $ • 16-20 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, face and crown somewhat 

 infviscated. Palpi moderately long, slender, ochreous-whitish, terminal 

 joint with dark fviscoiis lateral line. Antennse light greyish-ochreous, 

 ciliations in J \. Thorax ochreous-whitish finely sprinkled with fuscous. 

 Abdomen ochreous-whitish, with indications of pale brownish-ochreous 

 stripes. Forewings cleft from |, segments acute, first moderate, second 

 narrower (but much less narrow than in atomosa) ; whitish-ochreous, tinged 

 with fuscous except towards dorsum anteriorly, more infuscated on poste- 

 rior half, sometimes with a few scattered dark fuscous scales ; three more 

 or less marked cloudy roundish discal spots of dark fuscous irroration, viz., 

 towards dorsum at J, towards costa at 5, and before cleft : cilia pale 

 whitish-ochreous, grej^ on outer -|, beneath apex of each segment with an 

 irregular blackish scale-tooth, above apex of second with a short blackish 

 subbasal line, on lower margin of first segment with three blackish specks, on 

 dorsum with several irregular undefined groups of black specks. Hindwings 

 with segments slender, acute ; dark grey ; cilia pale ochreous-grey, on 

 dorsum with a series of scattered black scales from base to beyond middle. 

 Puttalam and Trincomali, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher) ; N. Coorg, 3,500 feet 

 (Newcome) ; from October to December, seven specimens. Closely allied 

 to atomosa, but readily distinguished by the different colour and con- 

 siderably broader segments of forewings. It has however hitherto been 

 confused with atoviosa, and most records of that species from Ceylon are 

 probably referable to phlyctcenias, but I have a specimen of atomosa from 

 Peradeniya. 



ORNEODIDiE. 



Orneodes panduris, n. sp. 



$ . 18-20 mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi moderately long, ascerjid- 

 ing, with appressed scales, terminal joint § of second, ochreous-whitish, 

 second joint slightly sprinkled with dark fuscous. Antennse whitish- 

 ochreous. Thorax whitish-ochreous. Abdomen whitish-yellow-ochreous. 

 Forewings light ochreous-yellow, crossed by five rather curved cloudy 

 whitish rather thick lines, second and third enclosing a moderate median 

 fascia hardly darker than ground colour, widest on third segment ; a small 

 whitish spot on costa betAveen third and fourth ; fourth line expanded on 

 first two segments, and sometimes confluent with fifth on costa : cilia light 

 ochreous-yellowish, with obscure whitish bars on lines, on median fascia
