Spatulicraspeda castaneiceps. (Plate CLXI. figs. 16^ 17, & Plate CLXXV. fig. 13.) 
Expanse, c? §, ? f inch. 
Male. Fore wing dark pui'plish brown ; a very indistinct dark band at end of cell from 
the costa to first median nervule ; a narrower similar band from the costa before the apex to 
the outer angle. Hind wing smoky black ; the cilia ochreous towards apex. Antennae dark ; 
head and collar chestnut. 
Female. Fore wing pale ruddy brown ; the band at end of cell and the submarginal band 
still more indistinct than in the male ; cilia dusky purple. Antennse chestnut, as well as 
head and collar. A variety of the female is pale purplish grey with a brown tinge, with a 
dark spot in the internal interspace below the end of the cell ; the band at end of cell hardly 
discernible, the other markings normal. 
Cocoon smooth, hard, and spherical, with a lid; brown, with racemose white markings. 
Nagoda nigricans, Moore. (Plate CLXI. fig. 1 & Plate CLXXVI. fig. 6 (larva).) 
Nagoda nigricans, Mooi^e, Lep. Ceyl. iii. p. 542. 
Expanse ? 1 ]4y inch. 
Female. Fore wing yellowish white, the veins pure shining white ; a ferruginous red band 
across the middle of cell from near costa to near inner margin, broken into spots by the veins ; 
then a broader band consisting of a spot occupying the end of the cell, and a larger spot below 
it nearly reaching the inner margin ; three narrow concave bands beyond the cell from near 
costa to near outer angle formed of ferruginous and dark scales. Hind wing and underside 
uniform golden yellow, the veins whiter. Antenna; filiform. 
This sex bears a remarkable general resemblance to Narosa conspersa, and is totally 
unlike the male. 
Larva. Oval, convex above, and smooth ; pale greenish blue with longitudinal dorsal and 
lateral stripes and series of lunular markings of a deeper shade — not on the exterior, but seen 
through the thick cuticle. 
It spins a compact whitish cocoon between two leaves. The moth escapes by a lid-like 
opening at one end. This lid must be prepared by the larva prior to pupating, for should the 
pupa die the cocoon will still break open in the same manner if pressure be applied from 
within.
