with black ; a basal patch occupying nearly one-fourth of wing ; a dorsal streak 
from this to two dorsal spots in and beyond middle of dorsum, second con- 
nected with apex of a triangular blotch on middle of costa ; an irregular 
blotch along termen from apex to tornus ; cilia grey (imperfect). Hind- 
wings grey, darker at apex, thinly scaled anteriorly and becoming hyaline 
at base ; cilia grey.

Chelaria Haw. 
Having now investigated the species of this group in my possession 
(principally from the Indian region), I find that although there is great 
variation of structure in the form and number of tufts of the palpi, and 
also in the relation of veins 6-8 of the forewings, natural genera cannot 
properly be founded on these differences in this instance, and therefore 
Semodictis Meyr. and Allocota Meyr. must be merged in Chelaria , as well 
as some forms from other regions which need not be specified here. 
Chelaria tnannulata , n. sp. 
$. 9 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-whitish tinged with grey, 
shoulders dark fuscous. Palpi whitish, second joint irrorated with blackish 
except apex, with moderate rough tuft beneath, terminal joint somewhat 
thickened with slightly rough scales, with black median band and sub-basal 
and sub-apical rings. Abdomen whitish-grey, anal tuft ochreous-whitish. 
Forewings elongate, narrow, costa slightly arched, faintly sinuate in middle, 
apex round-pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; 6 separate ; 
whitish-ochreous somewhat mixed with pale ochreous and slightly sprinkled 
with grey ; costal edge suffused with blackish irr oration from base to §, 
with a flattened- triangular blackish spot in middle of costa ; a black dot 
beneath costa near base ; sitgmata black, discal remote, piical obliquely 
before first discal ; a blackish spot on dorsum before tornus, connected 
with second discal stigma by a short outwardly oblique streak of blackish 
irroration; some groups of a few blackish scales round posterior part of 
costa and termen : cilia light greyish. Hindwings with apex pointed, 
termen beneath apex oblique, slightly bisinuate, 3 and 4 closely approxi- 
mated at base ; grey, paler and thinly scaled anteriorly ; cilia light grey.
