dark, transverse striae ; discal spot dark fuscous, large, diffuse ; costa 

 with 3 indistinct dark blotches ; the first near the base, representing 

 the origin of the first line ; the second above the discal spot ; the 

 third halfway between the second and the submarginal line ; from 

 this a curved series of smaU blotches can be traced, curving in 

 beneath the discal spot ; these blotches represent the 2nd line ; 

 submarginal line represented by a series of dark fuscous blotches, 

 more or less wedge-shaped externally, and interrupted between the 

 2nd and 3rd median nervules; opposite these blotches, except 

 at the extreme apex, the hind margin itself is likewise blotched 

 with fuscous ; fringes dark fuscous, chequered with paler and 

 broadly pale opposite to the interruption of the submarginal Hue ; 

 a row of shallow, dark fuscous crescents at base of fringes. Hind 

 wings slightly tinged with yellowish, with same markings as fore 

 wings, but with a small discal spot ; the fringes paler. Underside 

 like upper, but somewhat duller. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 ochreous, dusted with darker. Antennae fuscous. 



Expanse of wings, S 26, $ 24 millim. 



Hub. Sikkim ; Naga Hills. 



LoxASPiLATES, gen. nov. 



Fore wings elongate ; costa gradually arched ; apex produced, 

 pointed, especially in the S ; hind margin obliquely curved. Hind 

 wings rather short, with rounded hind margin. Antennae simple 

 in both sexes ; palpi short, porrect ; tongue present. Neuration as 

 in Aspilates ; transverse lines parallel to hind margin. 



Type, L. obliquaria, Moore {Aspilates). 



LoxASPiLATBS DisPAE, sp. n. (Plate XXX. fig. 14.) 



$ . Fore wings light wood-brown, with the 3 markings dark brown; 

 1st line at j, slightly dentate ; 2nd a little before 5, also slightly 

 dentate ; both parallel to hind margin ; a dark discal spot between 

 them ; subterminal line more irregular, forming 2 slight curves ; 

 fringes concolorous with wings. Hind wings pale dull grey, with 

 a testaceous tinge; an indistinct dark cell-spot, and traces of 

 2 darker lines on the inner margin. Underside rusty ochreous ; 

 the fore wings with the lines indistinct, with a darker brown sub- 

 apical costal blotch ; hind wings with 2 distinct curved dark fasciae : 

 both wings with the cell-spot distinct. Head and thorax concoloro us 

 with fore wings, abdomen with hind wings. 



Expanse of wings 36 millim. 



Hah, Sikkim. 



Pabastnegia, gen. nov. 



The insects of this genus have hitherto been confounded with 

 those of Anisodes, G-uen., to which they have a considerable 

 superficial resemblance. They have, however, no radial in the 

 hind wings, and are closely related to Synegia, Gf-uen., and Hadassa, 

 Butler. From both of these genera Parasynegia is separated by
