an oblique white streak formed of three confluent blotches to apex; a rufous white patch beyond subterminal 
line on each fold; fringe, brown intersected, with ochreous; hindwing smoky greyish with the veins and cell- 
spot dark; a blackish terminal border narrowing to anal angle; fringe pale; face brown; vertex grey with two 
brown spots; patagia dark brown with two white central spots; patagia white; dorsum grey; thorax, meta- 
thorax, and tips of dorsal crests blackish. Khasia Hills, Assam. -This species is out of place here; it should 
have been included in Perigew, the antennae of d have sessile fascicles of cilia and the frons is smooth. 
118. Genus: Stygiatlietis Hmps. 
Tongue present; frons with short truncate conical prominence with raised rim; palpi upturned, the 
second segment long, fringed with hair in front, the third porrect, long; antennae of d with short fascicles of 
cilia; thorax and abdomen without crests; the claspers of d large; forewing narrow, the costa and inner margin 
subparallel; neuration normal. Type 8. mus Hmps. 
S. mus Hmps. (30 b). Forewing grey brown slightly irrorated with fuscous; subbasal black dots below 
costa and cell; inner line blackish, almost erect; reniform slightly defined by white points; a diffuse median
