Type, Cryptoloba cerccta, Moore (Larentia). CRYPTOLOBA MINOR, sp. n. 6 2 • Besembles C. cerata, Moore, in general appearance, but decidedly smaller ; the pale gilded tints of osrata are much less prominent ; the broad blackish external shade is entire, and not interrupted by any pale subcostal streak, such as in cerata runs into the apex; the cell-dot, which in cerata is small and punctiform, is here enlarged and diffuse; the pale subterminal line consists of yellowish lunular markings, not confluent towards the anal angle, nor curved outwards as in cerata. Hab. Sikkim. This is altogether a duller and more insignificant-looking species than cerata, Moore, though undoubtedly closely allied. [I hardly think that when a series of G. agrata is examined, this species can be distinguished. I have taken it at from 7000 to 10,000 feet in Sikkim.-H. J. E.~] CRYPTOLOBA SUBUSTA, sp. n. S . Fore wings pale grey with a slight olive tinge, glossy, without strigae ; basal g slightly suffused with fulvous, more so externally, and bounded by the first line, which is represented by small black dots on the veins ; 2nd line similar, and followed by a distinct olive-tawny fascia ; both lines, as well as the fasciae which accompany them, are bluntly angulated below the costa ; a dark blotch with a paler centre in the middle of the hind margin, between the outer fascia and the fringes, which are grey; a small dark discal dot. Hind wings rather paler grey, with a dark discal dot and a faint, irregular submarginal darker fascia. Face olive-grey; thorax darker; abdomen cinereous. Underside: fore wings dull cinereous ; hind wings paler. Expanse of wings 20 millim. Hab. British Bhotan. [I took this in very dense forest at about 9000 feet on the Bishilah, on Aug. 8th. It is a very distinct species.-H. J. E.] CRYPTOLOBA TRINOTATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 12.) d . Fore wing with an ochreous-olive tinge, irregularly dusted with short black strigae ; the 2 cross lines broad, fulvous, indefinite; the first at j, vertically sinuous ; the 2nd at §, curved outwards below costa, then running parallel to hind margin; each starts from a black blotch on the costa, the exterior the larger ; beyond this, a third small costal black blotch ; the inner line is slightly edged externally, and the outer line internally with black dots; basal area more or less suffused with fulvous ; on the hind margin just below the apex is a small blackish spot, and a longer one at |
