 iron-grey ; patches along the costa, hind margin, and inner margin 

 alone remaining pale. The hind wings have a broad dark marginal

Hah. Sikkim. 



[The type, which is unique,was taken by Moller's native collectors 

 at about 7000 feet.— ^. J. E.'] 



IsoLOBA, gen. nov. 



Like Cruptoloha, Warr., but A\-ith the $ antennae not plumose, 

 but moniliform ; the antennae shorter, with finer and longer lateral 

 branches ; wings glossy, with two straight brown transverse lines, 

 and without the silvery metallic spots and streaks that characterize 

 Cryptoloba. 



Type, Isoloba bifasciata, sp. n. 



IsoLOBA BIFASCIATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 18.) 



c? 2 • Fore wings glossy straw-colour, finely and irregularly 

 dusted with black atoms ; 1 st and 2ud lines at -^ and | respectively, 

 thick, brown, nearly straight, being slightly recurved only towards 

 the costa ; the 1st immediately followed, in the centre of the wing, 

 by a thicker cluster of black atoms ; the 2nd by a still larger blackish 

 blotch ; 3 small oblique black dashes on the costa before apex, and 

 2 black flecks, in an oblique line, from the apex to the black blotch 

 beyond the 2nd line ; fringes straw-colour, broadly chequered with 

 black at the ends of all the veins. Hind wings duller straw-colour, 

 scarcely dusted with darker, with the dark chequering of the 

 fringes much narrower and less conspicuous. Head, palpi, and 

 thorax the same colour as the brown transverse lines ; the abdomen 

 mottled straw-colour and brown. Underside of both wings bright 

 straw, mottled M'ith dark atoms, and with a diffuse dark grey 

 shade beyond each of the 2 lines on the front wing ; the black 

 chequering of the fringes visible also beneath. 



Expanse of wings 26 millim. 



Hab. Sikkim. 



[Not rare from Tonglo to Sundukpho on the Nepal frontier, 

 10,000-12,000 feet.— ^. J. E.] 



LoBOGONiA, gen. nov. 



Closely related to Cryptoloba and Isoloba, with which it agrees 

 in neuration and scaling, but characterized by the angulation in 

 the hind margin of both wings. 



Type, Lobogonia ambusta, sp. n.
