dark grey, tips paler grey. Hind wing concolorous, the cell-mark rather large, 
long-oval, with whitish centre; basal and antemedian markings wanting, the 
rest as on fore wing. 
Both wings beneath whitish grey, with very fine grey irroration ; cell-spots 
black, on fore wing rather larger than above, on hind wing less pale-centred; 
fore wing with an ill-defined, rather broad, smoky submarginal band from 
costa, not reaching tornus; hind wing (especially in the $) with traces of 
similar band, but fainter and shorter.

* 9- Holoterpna (?) errata sp.mov. 
26 mm. Face black. Palpus moderate, black. Vertex, thorax and 
abdomen concolorous with wings. Fore and middle legs partly blackened on 
inner side. 
Fore wing shaped nearly as in pruinosata Stdgr., but with the termen 
slightly more rounded; SC^ anastomosing moderately with C and then at a ! 
point with the stalk of the other subcostals, 5 C® arising before SC^, 1 
coincident or separating close to apex, shortly stalked; whitish grey, with I 
rather uniform dark irroration; lines fine, dark, not strong; antemedian at i 
one-third, faintly excurved and with very slight indentations at M and SM^, 
sometimes with some dark shading proximally; cell-spot rather elongate, not 
very sharp; postmedian from before three-fourths costa to about two-thirds 
hind margin, lunulate-dentate, gently incurved between SC^ and R and 
between and the outward teeth at R and rather sharper than 
the rest; a weak dark shade between the postmedian and subterminal; sub- 
terminal whitish, nearly parallel with postmedian, not sharply defined distally ; 
terminal line fine, interrupted at the veins, somewhat thickened midway 
between; fringe nearly concolorous. Hind wing shaped somewhat as in pruino- 
sata but rather less extreme (termen rather more rounded) ; cell-mark and 
markings beyond corresponding to those of fore wing. 
Fore wing beneath narrowly pale at termen and more broadly at hind 
margin, otherwise somewhat suffused; cell-mark and outer band discernible. 
Hind wing beneath mostly pale, with traces of dark cell-mark and of slight 
subapical clouding.

10. Acidaliastis prophanes noY, fi 
$, 16 mm. Head and body whitish; collar and front of thorax a little 1 
yellower. Antenna not bipectinate, merely a little serrate. | 
Fore wing white, with a slight tinge of bufi, especially along costal margin; | 
lines strong, thickest in anterior part; antemedian from one-third costa to jj 
two-fifths hind margin, black-brown, slightly angulated inward on M and ( , 
outward on fold; postmedian from three-fourths costa to hind margin near! 
tornus, lunulate inward between the radials and between and SM^, very 1 
slightly dentate outward on 5 C^, R, R and and outbent on SM^; nol 
terminal line; fringe concolorous, at extreme apex brown-black. Hind wingm: 
yellowest at distal margin; postmedian line alone present, placed at about#:; 
two-thirds, formed nearly as on fore wing but oblique inward costally. §' 
Fore wing beneath slightly more suffused, except behind cell and in distal||’ 
area; postmedian line present, rather diffuse, obsolescent posteriorly; fringe f|; 
as above. Hind wing nearly as above, the line slightly more diffuse.
