structurally, but smaller, discal scaletufts much larger, and antennae of 

 çf simple, whereas in abjectella they are distinctly ciliated.

 separate; light greyish-ochreous; a wedgeshaped dark purplish-grey spot 

 occupying basal sixth of costa, extending at base nearly to dorsum; traces 

 of faint greyish strigulation towards apex: cilia pale ochreous. Hindwings

 of wing, edge somewhat curved; a semicircular blotch occupying median 

 third of costa and reaching half across wing; a snbquadrate blotch on 

 costa posteriorly, narrowly separated from a small apical spot ; small spots 

 on middle of termen and tornus: cilia ochreous-whitish barred with fus-

Java, Preangor, 5000 feet (Sythoff); one specimen. 



Melasma evagata n. sp.

 Antennal pectinations 7 at l / 3 from base, thence rapidly diminishing each 

 way, on apical fourth reduced to short teeth. Thorax whitish-ochreous, 

 anterior margin suffused with grey. Abdomen hairy, ochreous-grey-whitish. 

 Forewings moderate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex rounded- 

 obtuse, termen rounded, rather oblique; 8 to termen; ochreous-grey-
