Galle, Ceylon (Fletcher) ; in June, thirteen specimens. Extremely like 

 Brachmia dolosa, but (besides the generic difference of neuration) apex of 

 forewings more obtuse, termen less oblique, terminal joint of palpi with 

 blackish supramedian band. The species are so similar in size, colour, and 

 markings that they are scarcely distinguishable if these points are not 

 noticed.

 Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae 

 clothed with rough scales above. Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked, 6 absent,
