those of the fore wing approximately parallel with the termen, 

 the slender autemedian and broad (sometimes sti'ong) postmedian 

 perhaps sliglitly more oblique and with a strong proximal bend 

 at costa, the median touching the distal edge of the cell-dot, 

 postmedian slender, proximal subterminal broad, distal subter- 

 minal very weak ; first line of hind wing absent, median shade 

 rather straight, except the sharp anterior bend ; termen with 

 black dots between the veins ; fiinge dvisted with fuscous, most 

 thickly opposite the veins, a fine pale line at its base, a broader 

 one just beyond the middle. Underside similar or more blurred.

Ptychopoda subtorrida, sp. n. (PI. II. fig. 17, 5 .) 



$ , 18 mm. Face and palpus black. Vertex, antenna, thorax, 

 abdomen, and fore leg concolorous with wings (other legs lost). 

 Fore wing rather narrow ; light ochreous brown, almost entirely 

 suffused with vinous, less so basally and costally ; scattered black 

 irroration ; lines black ; antemedian from one- fourth costa,, 

 oblique outwards, very acutely angled in cell, then equally obliqiie 

 inwards to behind M, thus forming a V-mark, a second, much 

 shorter angle outwards at fold, but the entire posterior half of 

 the line less strong, more dissolved into coai'se black dots ; median 

 line from mid-costa, sinuous in S- shape, the anterior (outward) 

 curve crossing the deejj-black cell-spot ; postmedian from costa 

 at nearly three-fourtiis, forming an inward curve or bend at first, 

 sharply angled outwards at R' (forming a shorter V than the 

 antemedian), weakl}^ incurved between the i-adials and boldly 

 between IVP and SM", finally oblique inwards at hind margin ; 

 distal area with blackish cloudings, the most conspicuous being 

 one at R^ (interrupted at the position of the obsolete subterminal 

 line) and a longitudinally elongate pair on either side of M' ; 

 rio terminal line ; fringe very long, its proximal half light 

 ochreous brown, opposite the veins with amorphous spots formed 

 of groups of black dots, distal half paler and somewhat greyer, 

 unmarked. Hind wing rather narrow, with termen almost 

 smooth, not very strongly convex ; more strongly irrorated than 

 fore wing, especially at base ; first line not developed ; median 

 thick and somewhat diffuse, proximal to the sharp black cell- 

 spot ; postmedian as on fore wing, but with the angle at R^ less 

 pointed ; distal area with two somewhat sinuous bands of dark 

 irroration, enclosing a pale subterminal line ; fringe as on fore 

 wing. Under surface considera,bly paler, costal margin of fore 

 wing finely dark-dusted, the rest rather smooth and glossy ; both 

 wings ^Yith strong discal spot (larger than above) and a moderately 

 strong outer line, starting from a slightly enlarged spot at costa 

 wdiich corresponds to the origin of the postmedian of upper 

 surface, but oblique outwards, bent about R\ thence approxi- 

 mately parallel with termen, corresponding to the proximal sub- 

 terminal dark shade of the hind wing above ; fringe unspotted.
