1893.] SPECIES OF MOTHS FEOM INDIA. 397 



dark luniiles ; fringes pale to below the tail, then brownish. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen all ochreous. Underside brighter 

 ochreous, with coarser mottlings, and all the markings rather 

 plainer, the 3 black spots being merged in one large one. 



Expanse of wings 50 milhm. 



Hah. Bhotan. 



[Besides the type, which was taken by Moller's collectors in 

 August, I have three specimens from Bernardmyo, Burmah, taken 

 bv Doherty in May at about 6000 feet. They agree perfectly. —

Leptostichia, gen. nov. 



Fore wings wifh costa very gradually curved till near apex, 

 where it becomes strongly convex ; apex bluntly produced; hind 

 margin incm'ved just below apex, then obhque and straight to 

 anal angle. Hind wmgs ample, with very round hind margins. 

 Antenna?, J , beset with, fascicles of tine cilia. Palpi short, thick, 

 blunt, the 3rd joint very minute ; tongue present. Legs long and 

 weak ; hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. Neuration : — Fore wings : 

 1st median nervule at ^, 2nd at §, 3rd from lower end of cell, the 

 median nervure between the 2nd and 3rd being inclined upwards ; 

 discocellular curved, starting from the upper radial at a short 

 distance beyond the point where that nervule leaves the subcostal ; 

 lower radial from centre of discocellular ; 1st subcostal nervule 

 from the same point as the upper radial ; 2nd a little beyond 1st ; 

 4th and 5th at a similar distance beyond 2nd ; 5th running 

 straight to liiud margin below apex ; 4th curving into the apex 

 itself ; 3rd out of 4th shortly before apex. Hind wings : 2 sub- 

 costal nervules separating just before end of cell, so that the disco- 

 cellular rises from the 2nd subcostal, as in the fore wings from 

 the upper radial ; median nervules as in fore wings. 



Type, Lejitostichia latitcois, sp. n. 



Leptostichia latitaj^s, sp. n. 



(S . Fore wings liver-colour, suffused with dull olive, and tinged 

 in parts with lilac-grey; 1st line indistinct dull olive, slightly 

 darkened on costa and inner margin, where it is preceded by a few 

 pale lilac scales ; 2nd line at i, darker on costa, dull ohve, edged 

 indistinctly with grey, runs first outxAard, then obliquely inwards, 

 to a little beyond the centre of the inner margin, where it is 

 preceded by a round black blotch ; to the inside of this blotch a 

 central olive shade can be faintly traced from a darker spot in the 

 middle of the costa ; marginal area wholly dull olive, except a 

 narrow grey space immediately before the fringes ; space between 

 the 2 lines overlaid with slightly paler grey scales. Hind wings 

 redder, with a curved line at |, answering to the exteinor line o£ 

 the fore wings, and between that and the base a broad, straight, 

 blackish shade. Head, thorax, antenna), and abdomen all con- 

 colorous. Underside dull tawny-orange, sparsely Jlecked with 

 rather coarse fuscous dots, with a larger discal spot in the foro
