centre ; four slightly sinuous brown lines across the wings ; an ante- 

 medial, which is oblique, and touches the hinder border near the 

 postmedial line ; a postuiedial and a discal rather near each other, 

 nearly upright, the former slightly curved outwards, and a brown 

 marginal line, the colour of the wing between this and the discal 

 being darker than the rest of the wing, as is also the fringe, forming 

 a broad marginal band. 



Hind wings paler, and whitish towards the base ; antennae and 

 body above ochreous fawn-colour, abdomen paler. 



Below : wings, body, and legs whitish fawn-colour. 



Expanse of wings lyLincb. 



Hah. North Kanara. One example received from Mr. Wise. 



From the allied E. transversa this species differs on the fore wing 

 in the nearly erect position of the two outer lines, which in E. trans- 

 versa are both angled outward beyond the end of the cell.

Palpi and collar greyish .white, tips of palpi brownish, antennae and 

 body purplish grey ; abdomen whitish at the sides, and with grey seg- 

 mental bands ; fore wings purplish fawn-colour, orbicular, iu the

 a claviform ringlet, two outwardly oblique recurved, slightly denlated 

 blackish lines, one before and the other beyond the middle, the

 one specimen, taken in April 1 888. 



From other described species of Anophia this may be distin-

 fore wing are similar in pattern to those in A. olivascens, but the 

 hind wing has a uniformly narrower marginal band.

 Pandesma jubra, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 4.) 



Like a very large P. quenavadi, but differently coloured, very 

 much larger and quite distinct. Antennae, body, and fore wings
