Hab. North Kanara, June 1887. One male and two females 

 received from Mr. Wise. 



From C. bilinea, Walker, this species may be distinguished by 

 the dark brown colour of the fore wings, and the two dark trans- 

 verse lines in the male, these two lines in the female being of a pale 

 colour. 



MiRESA CRispA, n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 4.) 



General colour of a uniform reddish chestnut-brown ,• antennae, 

 abdomen, hind wings, and underside paler ; head and fore part of 

 the thorax bright orange-yellow ; fore wings shining, embossed with 

 numerous crimped markings across the wings, and in some lights 

 with some silvery speckles, which at the apex are collected together 

 into a small patch ; an indistinct straight band of darker colour from 

 centre of hinder m.argin to costa close to the apex, the band iu 

 some lights having a pale centre, making it look like two thick lines 

 close together. 



Hind wings with the discoidal cell, the costal space above, and 

 the anal border whitish. 



Underside unmarked ; legs chestnut-brown, fore legs with white 

 markings, with a large white spot on the inner side in the female, a 

 long white stripe on the tibia above, and several white bauds on the 

 tarsus above.

Hab. Darjeeling. One good example, which has been unnamed 

 in my collection for years. 



This insect may be distinguished from all other described species 

 of the genus by the peculiar transverse rows of short raised strigse 

 on the fore wing.

MiKESA PROPEXA, n. Sp. 



Ochreous brown, covered with blackish-brown atoms ; fore wings 

 with two dark brown bands — first discal, composed of two patches of 

 atoms, one touching the hinder margin in the centre, inclining out- 

 wardly, and adjoining the other patch which is in front of the cell ; 

 second band submarginal, extending from the apex to the hinder 

 angle ; the hind wings are unmarked and are darker than the fore 

 wings, as also are the antennae, body, and legs ; wings below paler 

 than above, with some dark suffusions here and there. This insect 

 varies somewhat in coloration, some specimens being much paler 

 than others, and on these the outer band on the fore wings is more 

 complete. 



Expanse of wings 1 inch.
