Pusa, in July (Lefroy) ; one specimen. Also very similar to the two

Head with appressed scales; ocelli absent; tongue developed. Antennse 

 |, in S strongly ciliated (2-J), basal joint moderately elongate, without

 appressed scales. Forewings with 3 absent (coincident with 2), 8 and 9 out

 f ; a group of a few pale ochreous scales above tornus : cilia dark purple- 

 fuscous. Hindwings and cilia dark fuscous, with golden-bronze and 

 purplish reflections. 



Peradeniya, Ceylon, in March (Green) ; two specimens. 



Timyra mendicella, Walk. 



(Decuaria mendicella, "Walk., Cat. XXIX, 797 ; Timyra torentis, Meyr., 

 Journ., Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. XVIII, 449.) 



By an unfortunate confusion between this and the following species, 

 which I had -wrongly supposed to be mendicella, I have re-described the true 

 mendicella as torentis, thus leaving the other unnamed; I now correct this error.
