Hind wings the same, but with a small dark blotch on the inner edge of the central fascia, and none at all on the outer; discal dot hardly visible; no apical streak. Underside like upper, but duller. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous. Expanse of wings 38 millim. Hab. Sikkim. [I have only seen a single male, which was taken in the interior by Moller's collectors.-H. J. E.~] Subfam. EUBYJIN^E. Fam. Amphidasydce, Guen. Phal. i. p. 191. EUBYJODONTA, gen. nov. Allied to Euhyja, Hiibn., but differing in the outline of the wings and in the structure of the 6* antenna?.

Tongue weak; palpi hardly visible. Fore wings elongate, narrow; the costa being nearly twice as long as the inner margin; costa itself nearly straight, curving only just before apex; apex rounded, broadly blunt; hind margin very oblique, twice concave, with a slight prominence between the 2 concavities between the ends of the 2nd and 3rd median nervules. Hind wings with 2 concavities, the intervening prominence being greater and rounded. Type, Eubyjodonta falcata, sp. n. EUBYJODONTA FALCATA, sp. n. 3. Fore wings white with an ochreous tint, thickly sprinkled with irregular black flecks which in parts become confluent into blotches; the lines indicated by olive-tawny blotches; basal line represented by a curved tawny fascia broad on the inner margin, and not reaching the costa, followed on costa and inner margin by a black blotch ; 2nd line, at ^, parallel to hind margin, represented by a thin, irregularly-blotched olive-tawny fascia, preceded on costa and inner margin by a blackish blotch, and followed by an interrupted series of irregular black blotches, that extends from costa to inner margin; >liind margin occupied by 5 or 6 irregular-sized olive blotches, that below the apex being far the largest; a deep black cell-spot.
