near costa suffused dark grey; a narrow white attenuated costal 
stripe from base almost to apex: cilia pale grey. Hindwings and 
cilia light grey or whitish.

Patna aulacodes, n. sp. 
3 2 • 24-28 mm. Head, palpi, thorax whitish-ochreous with 
faint brownish or pinkish tinge. Antennae 3 strongly flat-dentate, 
shortly ciliated. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, termen 
rounded, rather oblique; pale fleshcolour, slightly tinged or sprinkled 
pinkish-fuscous; costal edge and all veins marked whitish lines, 
sometimes also some additional interneural lines; a fuscous dot on 
end of cell, in one specimen obsolescent; a more or less developed 
terminal series of small dark fuscous dots: cilia pinky-whitish. 
Hindwings 3 and 4 stalked ; grey-whitish, cilia whitish.

Emmalocera subconcinnella Bag. 
I possess the original type of this species; in the right hindwing 
veins 2-5 are all present, exactly as in normal Emmalocera, but in 
the left hindwing 4 and 5 are coincident; in my opinion the latter 
structure is merely a common form of abnormality, and the former 
represents the natural condition. Bagonot, with his usual care¬ 
fulness of observation, had noticed this discrepancy, but, failing to 
comprehend its significance, made the species the type of his genus 
Critonia , in which the absence of vein 4 is constant and essential, 
and in this he was followed by Hampson. I conceive that Critonia 
must sink as a synonym of Emmalocera, and the genus which 
Bagonot and Hampson call Critonia must stand as Singhalia Hamps. 
CYPHOMIMA, n. g. 
Face rounded; tongue developed, slender. Antennae <3 rather 
stout, simple. Labial palpi long, obliquely ascending, second joint 
thickened with appressed scales, terminal joint not much shorter 
than second, cylindrical, pointed. Maxillary palpi ascending, some¬ 
what thickened apicaliy with scales. Forewings 2 from 4 and 5 
nearly approximated towards base, 8 and 9 stalked, 10, 11 separate. 
Hindwings 2 from well before angle, 3 and 4 moderately stalked, 
5 absent, 6 and 7 connate, 8 free. 
Allied to Euzojohera. 
Cyphomima cymogramma, n. sp. 
3 5 • 15-18 mm. Head, thorax whitish-grey, shoulders dark 
grey. Palpi grey. Forewings elongate, rather dilated, costa 
moderately arched, termen slightly rounded, little oblique; whitish- 
grey, variably darker-sprinkled, costa sometimes darker-suffused 
towards base; lines obscure, formed by fuscous suffusion, first about
