ToRTRICIDtE. 



Ulodemis falsa, n. sp. 



(S $ . 22-25 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax brown, in S with a blackish 

 patch on upper part of face. Antennae of cJ without notch, Abdomen grey. 

 Forewings sub-oblong, in cJ slightly narrowed anteriorly, costa anteriorly 

 strongly arched, without fold, posteriorly nearly straight, apex obtuse, 

 termen in S nearly straight, little oblique, in 9 sinuate, nearly vertical ; 

 brown, strewn with blackish-grey dots, arranged in oblique transverse 

 series ; markings darker, edged with faint pale strife ; outer edge of basal 

 patch straight, oblique ; central facia moderate, oblique, slightly narrower 

 towards costa, anterior edge nearly straight, posterior slightly bent in 

 middle; costal patch small, semi-oval, obsolete posteriorly : cilia dark-brown, 

 at apex and towards tornus greyish-ochreous. Hindwings rather dark- 

 grey, rather thinly scaled, except towards termen ; in S with a dorsal 

 pencil of long dark-grey hairs, and on lower surface with a shallow naked 

 prismatic groove running beneath lower margin of cell and along vein 2. 



Nilgiris, 3,500 feet, from August to October (Andrewes), 9 specimens 

 (5 (5,4 5); also 1 S from Ceylon, without further particulars. Almost 

 exactly resembling trigrapTia in all particulars both of structure and mark- 

 ings, except in absence of notch of antennae in S ■, and in slight difference 

 of posterior edge of central fascia, which in trigrapha forms a very slight 

 but regular curve, in /«/sa is distinctly bent in middle and faintly sinuate 

 above this. Besides the original examples I have a pair ( c? $ ) from Khasi 

 Hills which are truly referable to triyrapha. This is a very curious case, 

 but on the structural difference I cannot treat these forms otherwise than 

 as specifically distinct. 



EuCOSMIDiE. 



Argyroploce (solantha, n. sp. 



S $ . 14-17 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous suffusedly spotted 

 with fulvous-orange. Palpi with appressed scales, curved, ascending, 

 orange. Abdomen orange, segmental margins dark-fuscous. Forewings 

 moderate, sub-oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, somewhat oblique, deep fulvous- 

 orange, strewn with about twenty irregular dark indigo-blue-grey spots 

 and marks edged with some black scales, and some scattered minute black 

 strigulee between these : cilia fulvous-orange, with several partially in- 

 dicated dark bars. Hindwings orange-yellow ; dorsal and subdorsal 

 streaks of blackish suffusion, and costal whitish space edged beneath with 

 blackish ; an interrupted streak in disc sometimes more or less indicated ; a 

 broad blackish terminal band ; cilia orange, base blackish. 



Khasis, in October ; Baco River, Mindoro, Philippines, in February ; two 

 specimens. Allied to Solaris and eximiana. 



Argyroploce liocMora, n. sp. 



S> 15 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dull green mixed with blackish 

 Antennse simple. Abdomen dark-fuscous, beneath yellowish. Fore wing.
