Id(ea falcipenxis, sp. n. (Plate XXSII. fig. 11.) 



2 . Fore -wings stone-colour, almost wholly suffused with cine- 

 reous, -with a broadish, slightly sinuate subterminal fascia of the 

 pale ground-colour, before and beyond which the grey suffusion is 

 denser ; a denticulate darker exterior line, a sinuous darker central 

 shade, and a basal transverse line can just be traced ; these are 

 probably more distinct in other specimens ; fringes pale grey, Avith 

 the basal line black, interrupted by each nervule. Hind wings Uke 

 fore wings, but with a distinct black cell-spot. Face, antennae, and 

 thorax stone-colour ; abdomen the same, but dusted with grey. 

 Underside paler, unsufEused, with the lines all distinct. 



Mab. Sikkim. 



This species may be distinguished by the shape of the wings ; the 

 fore wings haAing the costa strongly curved throughout, the apex 

 bluntly falcate, and the hind margin obliqueh' straight. Hind 

 wings with hind margin fully rounded, and somewhat broadly 

 elbowed in the middle. The palpi are excessively minute. It is 

 very probable that when, more specimens, including the (S , come 

 to be examined, the species may have to form the type of a 

 distinct genus. 



[Two specimens of this distinct species, taken by O. Moller on 

 Oct. 12, are in my collection. — H. J. B.} 



IncEA BtrrxEOSA, sp. n. 



S ■ Fore wings rather bright clay-yellow, with all the markings 

 indistinctly deeper ; a basal curved line, a central curved Line just 

 bevond a diffuse cell-blotch ; an exterior, more denticulated line 

 and a hardly paler subterminal space ; f ruiges concolorous ; a 

 series of very minute dark dots at the base of fringes between the 

 veins, most conspicuous towards the apex. Hind Mings the same, 

 with a minute dark cell-spot. Head, thorax, and abdomen all 

 concolorous. Underside dull ochreous, with the lines only faintly 

 visible, except the 3rd. 



Expanse of wings 26 millim.

Amathia siGEoyoTATA, sp. u. (Plate XXXI. fig. 18.) 



d . Fore wings white, crossed by a series of pale grey fasciae, 

 mixed with ochreous, traversed by finely darker sinuous lines, 

 which towards the inner margin form black dashes on the veins ; 

 the fasciae are 6 in number : two, narrow, near the base ; a wider 

 one before the middle ; a still wider one beyond the middle ; a 

 narrow submarginal one, dotted with blackish and with two darker 

 patches below the costa ; and, lastly, a narrow marginal fascia ; 

 fringe spotted with blackish at the base. Hind wings pure white.
