Fore wings whitish ochreous, which ground-colour, however, is almost wholly hidden by a suffusion of tawny and brown and a chequering of narrow, transverse, olive-fuscous striae; basal line darker, curved, broadly blackish on the costa, slightly edged with paler internally; exterior line blackish sinuous, followed by a pale costal spot and paler points on the veins; an elongate black cell-spot, with a black costal spot above it; submarginal line indistinct, sinuous, followed towards the inner margin by an irregular double blotch of the pale ground-colour; fringe clearly chequered light and dark, and preceded by a very clear, pale, basal line; the space between the cell-dot and the submarginal line is most deeply suffused with tawny fuscous. Hind wings dull straw-colour, very thickly mottled with cinereous, with a dark grey central dot and an indistinct dark grey subdenticulate line at § ; fringes as in fore wings. Head, face, antennae, and collar brown-black ; thorax and abdomen mottled with fuscous, as the fore wings. Underside tawny ochreous-red, mottled with cinereous ; the fore wings greyer than the hind -wings; cell-spots and the transverse lines distinct, that on the hind wings especially dark, much clearer than on the upperside. Expanse of wings 30 millim. Hab. Darjiling. This species will probably have to be separated and form the type of a distinct genus. The 3 will throw light upon it. In the 2 the palpi are remarkably short; the hind margin of the fore wing is not scalloped, but distinctly bent in the middle. ANAGOGE (?) COSTINOTATA, sp. n. o*. Fore wings fawn-coloured, darker on the disk, greyer towards the hind margin; a small, pale, yellowish, triangular blotch on the costa at -|; costa itself with dark minute strigae; fringes darker ; a small dark cell-spot. Hind wings paler, with dark cell-spot and indistinct, curved, dark submarginal line. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous. Underside paler, with the cell-spots dark. Expanse of wings 26 millim. Hab. Bhotan. [Taken by Moller's collectors in September only.-H. J. E.] ANAGOGE LIGNICOLOR, sp. n. 2 . Fore wings ochreous, suffused with yellowish and tawny brown, and thickly strewed with transverse black striae ; 1st line at 5 indistinct, indicated on costa by a dark spot; 2nd line at f irregularly dentate, with three prominent teeth, one subcostal, and a pair in the centre; this line is preceded by a dark tawny suffusion and followed by a paler tawny one, which reaches to the sub-marginal shade, which is irregularly sinuous and whitish; fringe chequered dark and light tawny, with distinct yellow basal line; costa with yellowish patches. Hind wings like fore wings, but duller, and with only a faint repetition of the 2nd line; in both |
