termen, markings ferrnginous-brown, dotted with leaden-grey. Base of 
wing with a small dark grey transverse streak not reaching dorsum; basal 
fifth of costa with a narrow dark grey streak; basal patch indicated by a 
large, ferruginous-brown transverse blotch, leaden-grey in middle, origi- 
nating from '/s of costa, not reaching dorsum, with posterior edge angulate 
in middle of disc, with lower end acute, an irroration of black scales in 
middle of blotch; a small dark grey dot on costa beyond 1 / 5 ; central fascia 
rather narrow, from 2 / 6 of costa to dorsum before tornus, interrupted in 
cell and above dorsum, so as to form a small subtriangular transverse spot 
on costa, light leaden-grey, edged with ferruginous : median part of fascia 
represented by a rounded somewhat suffused ferruginous-brown spot 
below cell in middle of wing, and by an irregular spot on dorsum; these 
two spots connected by light leaden suffusion; costal patch large, con- 
spicuous, elongate-semiovate, reddish-ferruginous, on costa dark grey, 
and marked with two small whitish bars, in centre dotted with light 
leaden-grey; a light oehreous-yellowish suffusion tinged olive, between 
central fascia and costal patch, with posterior edge ill-defined, extending 
from about middle of posterior edge of costal patch to tornus; a curved 
suffused ferruginous-reddish streak, yellowish above, running from termen 
above tornus almost to top of costal patch; two ill-defined ferruginous- 
fuscous striguiae from upper half of termen to costa before apex; terminal 
and apical edge with a suffused grey streak, mixed with ferruginous, 
slightly dilated on veins. Cilia whitish, apical half light grey, an antemedian 
row of dots, and a patch opposite apex, dark grey. Hind wing pale fuscous, 
brighter fuscous towards apex, faintly dotted with grey, cilia paler, 
whitish-greyish, a faint grey antemedian line. 
Limen very similar to that in P. rhopalodes spec, nov., but slightly 
angularly bent at the sides. Ostium somewhat sclerotized. Cestum longer, 
tortuous (twice), bursal part much smaller than in P. rhopalodes. Signurn 
shorter, dentations larger, capitulum longer, top stronger rounded (Slide 
No. 413 D, holotype). 
Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 17, 1939, February 26, 1939 (holotype). 
Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 14, 1939. Three females. Allied to P. apheles 
spec. nov. and P. oligosta spec, nov., superficially resembles very much an 
Jsotenes. 
Parachorista oligosta spec. nov. (fig. 162) 
dXiyomoQ = smallest 
3 16.5 mm. Head and thorax whitish, mixed and suffused with fuscous. 
Palpus pale fuscous, median segment with projecting scales towards apex 
above, white. Antenna pale fuscous, flagellum banded with white. Abdo- 
men pale greyish. Legs whitish, anterior leg infuscated, tibia and tarsus 
light-ringed. Fore wing with a moderate costal fold to before middle, costa 
gradually curved anteriorly, straight posteriorly, a short brush of cilia in 
middle, apex rounded, termen scarcely convex, little oblique. White,
