undulating orange lines; at the lower cell-angle a small black spot, and a spot at the upper cei 1-angle; the 
submarginal line of bronze-brown lunulae as in the forewing. Under surface much lighter, with 2 brownish 
curved bands on the forewing and 1 straight and shortened one on the hindwing. Head, thorax, tegulae, and 
patagia light and dark yellow; abdomen ochreous, dorsum yellowish. 1 $ has an expanse of 33 mm. From 
Batang-Proepoe (Padang Highlands) in the western parts of Central Sumatra. 
26. Genus : Microblepsis gen. nov. 
Proboscis not visible; palpi delicate, very small; antennae of <$ bipectinate, of $ plain; middle tibiae 
with 1 pair, hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs; forewing with a bent costa; apex short and obtusely produced; 
distal margin below the apex slightly concave and in the centre convex; hindwing with a distinct anal angle, 
and the distal margin slightly angular at vein 4. In the forewing vein 6 rises from the upper cell-angle; 7, 8, 9 
are stalked like 10 and 11; 10 anastomoses with 8, 9 and forms an areola; 7 and 11 from the cell, 10 
from its end. Type: M. cupreogrisea limps. 
M. cupreogrisea Hmps. (48 k). Forewing lead-coloured grey, at the base a faded bronze brown cloud; cupreogri- 
the proximal line is dark, obliquely distally to the lower cell-angle, then inwardly notched; distal line obliquely 
from the centre of the costa almost to the distal margin near vein 7, where it is angular and obliquely proximad 
to behind the centre of the hind-margin. Apex of $ orange, of whitish with an orange costal margin. Before 
the distal margin a dark bronze-coloured band with fine glossy edges, the distal edge forming the undulating 
light subterminal line; marginal line orange; at both ends of the discocellular a light dot. Hindwing with a 
dark proximal band and a subterminal band which are separated by a band being light grey in the $, a white 
one in the <$. Beneath lead-coloured, the <$ hindwing white. Found in the Khasia Hills in Assam; type from 
Tenasserim. 
27. Genus: Tliyniistaclopsis gen. nov. 
Proboscis present; palpi delicate, very small. Antennae in both sexes bipectinate; the branches in 
the $ shorter. Middle tibiae with 2 spurs, hind tibiae with 4 spurs. Costa of forewing curved as far as the 
obtusely produced apex, distal margin at vein 4 angular, above concave; hindwing with a rounded distal 
margin, the hind margin excised above the anal angle, but not so deeply as in Thymistada; veins 6, 7, 8, 9 
in the forewing stalked, 10 and 11 stalked, vein 10 anastomosing with 8 and 9, forming an areola; 6, 7 
and 11 from this areola, 10 rising directly behind it. Type: T. albidescens Hmps. 
T. albidescens Hmps.. (48 k). Forewing white, with a light ochreous hue. Proximal line pale rusty albidescens 
yellow, on the subcostal and median distally angular, then inwardly broken, terminating into a black spot 
at the hind-margin; distal line proceeding from a large dark costal spot, extending obliquely distally and 
dentate on vein 7, where it is angular and inwardly oblique, dentate, of small crescents, behind it a brown 
cloud; subterminal line brown, proceeding from a dark brown costal spot before the apex; fringes ochreous, 
at the edge of the excision marked deep brown; at each angle of the cell a diminutive black dot. Hindwing 
white, with a short proximal and an intensely marked median black line, behind the latter a lead-coloured 
cloud; a broader antemarginal cloud; neither of the markings reaches to vein 6. Under surface with strong 
black distal lines and finer subterminal ones; veins towards the distal margin brown; upper half of forewing 
suffused with greyish brown. Sikkim and Khasia Hills. (Assam.) 
28. Genus: l*roI>le]>si<lis Hmps. 
Proboscis present; palpi very small; antennae with ciliary tufts; middle tibiae with 1 pair, hind tibiae 
with 2 pairs of spurs. Forewing with a falciform apex, the distal margin angular at vein 4; distal margin of 
hindwing slightly angular at vein 4; veins as in the preceding genus. Type: P. argyriatis Hmps. 
P. argyriatis Hmps. Head, thorax, abdomen, and forewing blackish-brown, forewing strewn with argyriatis. 
small bluish silvery scales; proximal line indistinct, undulating and double; distal line behind the cell excurved. 
with a brown band at its distal border, behind it an irregular white band; at the distal margin a grey irregularly 
dentate band. Hindwing in the basal half dark brown, the proximal and median lines indicated by a doubly 
angular marking at the hind-margin; distal band broad, white; marginal band mottled, dark brown. Naga 
Hills (Assam).
