Habitat. Kedai, 27th and 30th Dec. 1911, 1 c? , 1 ? (gi-ey 

 form) ; 25th Nov. 1911, and 5th Jan. 1912, 2 ^ (brown form). 



The above four specimens represent two forms — a grey and a 

 brown — which I found to be nearest in markings to derasalis 

 Guen. when I was trying to identify them in the British 

 Museum. Derasalis, however, is a red form, distinguished by 

 having the oblique mark from the apex ochreous. One of these 

 forms is violet-grey, with the exception of tlie medial brown 

 triangle ; the other is fuscous brown throughout, with very 

 indistinct grey markings. I must reserve them for further 

 examination later on.
