moderate, posteriori}^ dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen 

 rounded, little oblique ; dark brownish, strigulated with dark fuscous ; a 

 broad bright yellow transverse band extending from near base to middle 

 posterior edge straight, vertical, rather irregular, costal edge strigulated 

 with dark fuscous : cilia brownish with two dark fuscous shades. Hind- 

 wixigs with 6 and 7 approximated towards base ; dark fuscous ; cilia grey 

 with dark fuscous basal line. 



Khasis ; in March, one specimen. 



Lasyeyvesia 'primigena, n. sp. 



(S . 11-13 mm. Head with appressed scales, blackish reticulated with 

 whitish. Palpi transversely comi)ressed, white, with black anterior streak. 

 Thorax blackish transversely barred with whitish. Forewings rather 

 elongate-triangular, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded, 

 somewhat oblique; bronzy-blackish; basal | of wing sharply strigulated with 

 whitish; a patch of about four incurved whitish strife from middle of dorsum 

 reaching % across wing, apices tending to be broken up and connected into 

 longitudinal strise ; several ochreous-white strigulse from costa posteriorly, 

 whence proceed some faint oblique strigse of whitish irroration, and two or 

 three short oblique shining blue-metallic strigte ; a shining blue-metallic 

 dot in disc beyond middle ; ocellus marked with two transverse ochreous- 

 whitish streaks and enclosed by shining blue-metallic streaks, interior 

 broken into spots ; a short shining blue-metallic mark beneath apex : 

 cilia rather dark purple-fuscOus, with black basal line. Hindwings with 6 

 and 7 approximated towards base ; blackish-fuscous ; a thinly scaled 

 fuscous-whitish elongate patch extending in disc from base to beyond 

 middle ; cilia white, with blackish basal line. 



Khasis ; in October and November, two specimens. The peculiar char- 

 acter of the palpi and head appears to show undoubted affinity to the 

 Glijphipterygidoi marking this as an earlj' type of the genus ; but the neura- 

 tion is as in typical forms of laspeijresia.
