metallic spot in disc beneath it ; an irregular thick transverse streak close 

 before termen, leaving termen olive-ochreous edged with a black marginal 

 line : cilia leaden-metallic. Hindwings rather dark grey : cilia grey. 



Puttalam, Trincomali, and Galle, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher) ; in June and 

 from October to January, five specimens. 



Strobisia immeritella, Walk. 



Madulsima, Ceylon. 



Strobisia epicentra, n. sp. 



3 5 • 7-10 mm. Head and thorax bronzy-fuscous. Palpi white, with a 

 black line on each side throughout. Antennae whitish lined with blackish. 

 Abdomen grey, apex ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, 

 costa slightly arched, faintly sinuate in middle, apex obtuse, termen some- 

 what sinuate beneath apex, little oblique ; 7 to costa, 8 and 9 out of 7 ; 

 blackish-fuscous ; a fine white line immediately beneath costal edge from 

 base almost to middle ; an irregular yellow-ochreous patch on basal portion 

 of dorsum, sending a very oblique streak to extremity of this line, receiving 

 a yellow-ochreous line from base above middle, and continued to upper 

 extremity of a strongly inwards-oblique very elongate-oval yellow-ochreous 

 ring in disc beyond middle, this latter portion edged beneath by a white 

 streak ; two oblique slightly curved yellow-ochreous streaks from dorsum 

 before middle to lower margin of this white streak, united at tips by a 

 bar, second followed by more or less white suffusion ; a yellow-ochreous 

 streak from a white mark on costa at § to dorsum before tornus, obtusely 

 angulated in disc, separated on upper half from preceding markings by a 

 white streak, and on lower portion by more or less white suffusion, and 

 followed by a slightly curved leaden-metallic streak running from three 

 short whitish strigulse on costa to tornus ; terminal space beyond this 

 yellow-ochreous, cut by three black bars, of which the median is thickest,

 Hindwings grey or dark grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish more or less tinged 

 with grey, becoming greyer round apex. 



Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole) ; in January, February, May, June, and October, 

 eight specimens. This species, with the preceding and three following, 

 forms a group requiring close attention as their markings are complex and 

 superficially very similar ; they can however easily be recognised if note is 

 taken of the neuration, the markings of the palpi, and the character of the 

 black marks preceding and following the subterminal metallic streak. 



Strobisia rhabducha, n. sp. 



6 2 • 11-12 mm. Head bronzy-fuscous, face paler or whitish-bronzy.
