130 JOTJRISAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETl, Vol. XXIIl. 



Abdomen whitish. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex rounded, 

 termen very obliquely rounded ; 9 and 10 stalked ; whity-brownish irrorated 

 with dark fuscous, more strongly posteriorly ; a suffused white streak along 

 costa from about | to near apex ; two small indistinct dark fuscous spots 

 obliquely placed towards costa at I ; a suffused whitish streak enclosing an 

 elongate-semioval patch of stronger dark irroration along median third of 

 dorsum ; some indistinct whitish admixture in disc posteriorly, sometimes 

 forming a suffused streak running to termen above tornus ; four small indis- 

 tinct cloudy dark fuscous spots round apex and termen : cilia pale whity- 

 brownish with faint grey shades, beneath tornus whitish. Hindwings light 

 grey ; cilia white. 



Kandy and Maskeliya, Ceylon, from March to June (Mackwood, Pole) ; 

 four specimens. Differs from the rest of the genus by stalking of 9 and 10 

 of forewings. 



Comocritis enneora, n. sp. 



S. 17 mm. Head and palpi white. Antennal pectinations very short. 

 Thorax white, with two small dark grey postmedian spots. Forewings 

 elongate, costa gently arched, apex rounded, term^en rounded, rather strongly 

 oblique ; 3 and 4 connate ; silvery-white ; nine small roundish dark leaden- 

 grey spots, viz., one almost basal beneath costa, one in disc towards base, 

 one towards costa before \, one on fold beneath this, one elongate in disc 

 before middle, one above middle of disc, one on fold beyond middle, one 

 towards costa before §, and one in disc beyond this : cilia white, base pale 

 ochreous. Hindwings grey-whitish ; cilia white. 



Khasis, in May ; one specimen. This example has the pupal case, with 

 the head and lingual and antennal sheaths separated in one piece, still 

 enclosing the abdomen. 



Eth'tnia duplicata, n. sp. 



'S 2 . 30-32 mm. Differs from hilarella only as follows : abdomen with 

 dorsal spots absent on two basal segments, reduced or absent on third ; 

 hindwings in both sexes as in hilarella § , but with apical patch wider and 

 much more convex anteriorly, less produced beneath and not reaching 

 middle of termen, grey apical patch in cilia also reduced and not reaching 

 middle of termen. The characters of abdomen are as in piillata, but in that 

 species the hindwings have a dark fuscous costal band on lower surface. 



Patipola (6,200 feet), Maskeliya, Puttalam, Ceylon, in December and 

 January (Pole, Fletcher); three specimens. Doubtless sometimes overlooked 

 by collectors and mistaken for the commoner hilarella.
