 Maskeliya, Ceylon (Alston) ; in December, one specimen. 

 Brachmia metasaris, n. sp.

 whitish, second joint suffused with dark fuscous except towards apex,

 pointed, termen sinuate, rather oblique ; 2 and 3 stalked, 7 to apex, 8 and 

 9 out of 7 ; rather dark fuscous, faintly purplish-tinged ; an ochreous-
