I cannot agree with Professor Fernald in sinking Ccelostathma 

 as a synonym of Aniphisa, Crt., which has veins 7 and 8 of the 

 fore wings stalked and 9 separate, whereas Gcelostathma has 7 and 

 8 stalked out of 9. 



198. 0(ELOSTATHMA PAHALLELANA, Sp. n. 



Antennce biciliate, 2| ; cream-colour. Palpi projecting rather 

 more than the length of the head beyond it ; cream-coloured ; 

 second joint shaded with fawn-brown externally. Head and 

 thorax cream-colour. Fore ivings and cilia cream-coloured, with a 

 dark fawn-brown band from before the middle of the costa to the 

 middle of the dorsum, variable in breadth and distinctness, some- 

 times difEused or dilated outwards below the middle; this is 

 followed by a second narrower band, commencing on the costa at 

 one-fourth from the apex and reaching to the tornus ; a single 

 black dot lies at the end of the cell between veins 5 and 6. Exp. 

 al. 12 mm. Himl ivings pale fawn-grey with a slight reddish 

 tinge. Abdoraen cream-coloured, shaded with grey across the 

 middle. Legs creamy whitish.

This species differs from Ccelostathma dAscojnmctana, Clem., in 

 the form of the outer band, which is almost parallel with the first 

 instead of being conspicuously curved inward at its upper 

 extremity. Along the costa the intensity of the bands is variable, 

 and in one female they are almost entirely obUterated, the wing- 

 colour becoming pale fawn-ochreous instead of creamy. I cannot, 

 however, doubt that it belongs to the same species.

199. Phalonia iCHTnroc'HEOA, sp. n. 



Antenna' whitish cinereous. Palpi projecting nearly the length 

 of the head beyond it ; whitish, shaded with brown externally. 

 Head hoary. Thorax shining silvery whitish. Fore ivings 

 shining silvery whitish ; a rust-brown shade along the base of 

 the costa not extending to the dorsum ; a broken fascia com- 

 mencing on the costa beyond the middle consists of a dark- 

 margined rust-brown spot at its upper extremity and a larger 

 rust-brown shade on its lower half, extending somewhat inwards 

 and containing one or two patches of blackish scales ; the apical
