JEpactris, Meyr. 



It should have been mentioned in the characters of this genus that the 

 stout antennae are distinctly flattened. 



^pactris tJiyreota n. sp. 



S- 8-9 mm. Head and palpi blackish. Antennae ochreous-whitish. 

 Thorax blackish-fuscous, patagia whitish-ochreous except shoulders. Ab- 

 domen grey. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous, markings 

 blackish-fuscous ; a large triangular patch extending along costa from base 

 to I, broadest posteriorly, where it reaches | across wing, but including a 

 roundish spot of ground-colour in disc beyond middle, of which the dark 

 lower edge is suffused or sometimes almost obsolete ; apex of this patch 

 connected with an irregular streak along termen ; a slender streak along 

 dorsum from base to near middle : cilia whitish-ochreous, towards base with 

 undefined bars of dark fuscous suffusion. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale grey. 



Madulsima and Bandarawela, Ceylon (Pole, Vaughan, Fletcher) ; in 

 April and May, four specimens. Nearly allied to melanchceta (of which 

 I have now a good series), but much smaller and readily distinguished by 

 the dark colour forming a broad unbroken costal band, whereas in 

 melanchceta it is interrupted and spotted. 

 Monopis viatica, n. sp. 



cJ . 12 mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi dark fuscous, apex whitish. 

 Antennse dark fuscous. Thorax pale reddish-ochreous, patagia blackish- 

 fuscous. Abdomen fuscous, beneath whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, 

 rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen very 

 obliquely rounded ; 2 out of 4, 6 to apex, 7 and 8 stalked ; dark lilac- 

 fuscous irregularly mixed with blackish ; a roundish semi-hyaline whitish 

 spot in disc before middle ; a rather broad f erruginous-ochreous streak from, 

 base along dorsum and termen to apex : cilia pale f erruginous-ochreous, 

 on costa dark fuscous. Hindwings with 6 and 7 stalked, 6 to apex ; grey ;. 

 cilia light grey. 



Khasis, in May ; one specimen. 



Monopis florilega, n. sp. 



S . 11-12 mm. Head yellow. Palpi and antennas dark fuscous. Thorax 

 yellow, patagia dark fuscous. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate,, 

 costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; 9 apd 

 10 short-stalked ; dark purple-fuscous irregularly mixed with blackish ; a 

 bright yellow streak along dorsum from base to tornus, upper edge rather 

 prominent at \, and forming a triangular projection upwards before tornus,. 

 opposite which is a large irregular yellow costal spot reaching half across 

 wing, marked with two or three small blackish strigulse on costa ; an 

 obscure whitish semi-hyaline spot in middle of disc ; several minute whitish 

 dots on costa posteriorly : cilia bright yellow, on costa dark fuscous, on
