Hindwings rather dark fuscous, anterior half sometimes pale whitish-ochreous ; cilia fuscous. Palnis, 6,000 feet (Campbell) ; four specimens. The variation in the colour of hindwings is singular; it is not sexual, as the specimens include male and female of each form ; and as the two forms agree in other respects, especially in the characteristic markings of the palpi, and are from the same locality, it ig improbable that they are specifically distinct. Iregard the form with the basal half of hindwings pale as being the type, and think the other form with hindwings wholly dark deserves a varietal name ; I therefore name it var. ecliptica, Macrosaces orphania, n. sp. @ 15-16 mm.

Hindwings light grey ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, with one or two grey shades, Maskeliya, Madulsima, Maturatta, Hakgala, Rambukkhana, Polgahawela, Patipola, Ceylon (Green, Alston, Vaughan) ; in May, June, and from Septem- ber to February, seventeen specimens, Smaller than aganopis, and recognis- able by the different colouring and terminal dots. This is the species erroneously identified by me as tetraspilella, Walk. which latter is, I believe, really a Xyloryctid, and probably supersedes Odites tsocentra, Meyr., though from the difficulty of properly examining the type I cannot positively identify it at present, Cryptolechia temperata, n. sp. @. 20-24 mm, Head ochreous-yellow. Palpi pale ochreous-yellowish, smooth-sealed. Antenne pale yellowish, Thorax ochreous-yellowish, more or less suffused with light brownish, Abdomen light ochreous-yellowish, Forewings elongate, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, rather oblique; 7 to apex , ochreous-yellow, towards dorsum, more or less tinged with brownish ; stigmata brownish, first discal and plical minute, indistinct, plical obliquely beyond first discal, second discal larger and darker : cilia ochreous-yellow, Hindwings light grey, more or less tinged with pale ochreous ; cilia pale ochreous-yellowish. Simla ; in July and August, four specimens, Cryptolechia costemaculelia, Christ. (Depressaria costemaculella, Christ, Bull. Mosc. 1882, 18, Snell. Tijd. v., Ent, xxvii, 158, pl. 8,5.) Sikkim ; Darjeeling ;in July. Described from Eastern Siberia ; it is a species of distinct appearance, allied to the following, with which it entirely agrees in structure, having the palpi smooth-scaled, and vein 7 of forewings to apex ; it is therefore no Depressaria. Cryptolechia eoa, 0. sp. Q. 24mm. Head and thorax ochreous-whitish, collar tinged with grey, Palpi ochreous-whitish, smooth-scaled, basal third and a subapical ring of second joint, and apical 3 of terminal joint blackish, Antenne greyish, mixed with blackish towards base, Abdomen pale ochreous, sprinkled with dark fuscous. Forewings sub-oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, little oblique; 2 and 3 closely approximated at base; light greyish-ochreous, almost wholly suffused with light rose-pink except in middle of disc and a narrow more whitish-ochreous terminal fascia ; some irregular scattered minute dots and strigule of blackish scales ; a narrow blackish basal fascia ; two or three blackish dots or marks on costa anteriorly ; a small black costal spot at 2; first discal stigma small, black- ish ; a moderate black fascia-form bar from costa beyond middle, extended so as to enclose in its apex second discal stigma, which is white, and witha [23] (2 Dy oe Journ., Bom. Nat. Hist, Soc., Vol. XX, No, i, {June 13, 1910, triangular projection of grey suffusion mixed with black from middle of its posterior margin ; two blackish spots on costa beyond this, united beneath costa ; a series of blackish marks round apex and termen: cilia whitish-ochre- ous, Hindwings light greyish-ochreous, more greyish posteriorly ; three or four grey marks on upper part of termen ; cilia whitish-ochreous. Khasis ; in October, one specimen. This distinct species, though structur- ally in all respects a true Cryptolechia, not improbably indicates the origin ot Depressaria from that genus, Depressaria, Haw. The only species yet known to me from India are the two following, both from the Himalayan region ; the other species attributed to the genus by Stainton and others are not correctly referred. Depressaria cyclas, 0. Sp. Q. 19-20mm, Head and thorax pale brownish-ochreous, patagia dark fuscous, Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint irrorated with dark fuscous, terminal joint with dark fuscous median band, Antennz pale ochreous infuscated above, especially towards base. Abdomen whitish-ochreous, irrorated with grey. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen obliquely rounded ; 2and 3 stalked ; pale brownish-ochreous, with irregularly scattered small dots and strigule of black scales; an oblique black subdorsal dash at base; costa irregularly spotted with blackish throughout, spots rather larger posteriorly ; discal stigmata round, black, an additional black dot obliquely before and above first discal ; an irregular dark fuscous blotch lying between and above discal stigmata, touching second but not first ; a spot of dark fuscous suffusion beneath costa at 3; a terminal series of black dots: cilia whitish-ochreous, on basal half obscurely barred with greyish. Hindwings light grey, paler towards base ; three or four blackish-grey marks on upper part of termen ; cilia pale grey. Dalhousie, Kashmir; in May, two specimens. Most like the European petasitis.

This genus closely approaches Brachmia in structure, differing in the smooth glossy head, the more generally costal termination of vein 7 of forewings, and the presence of metallic markings; the last-mentioned character, though apparently trivial, is constant and easy of appreciation, and the separation is undoubtedly natural, the two genera being not in fact very closely allied.

MEvRICK, B.A, | FR.Se F.Z.S: XIV. (Continued from page 736 of Volwne XX.) PTEROPHORIDA. Deuterocopus, Z. I think that Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher in his recent paper‘on this gonus (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1910) has not yet got to the bottom of the difticul- ties connected with it. The whole subject cannot be discussed here, but I consider that the two following forms are truly and recognisably distinct from socotranus and from each other. It will greatly assist the study of the genus if collectors, who come across a species in plenty, will take a good series of specimens at the same place and time, which can be relied on as specifically identical, and also ascertain the species of vine which they frequent. Deuterocopus viticula, n. sp. $2. 9-30mm. Head and thorax ochreous-brown sprinkled with dark fuscous, face more ochreous, thorax beneath yellowish-white. Palpi whitish, second and terminal joints each with two ferruginous bands more or less sprinkled with dark fuscous. Antenne black lined with white, ciliations in ¢ 3. Abdomen ferruginous-ochreous more or less suffused with brown, basal segment with two white spots, second segment forming a darker brown band, its posterior margin mixed with white, behind this with two interrupted white lines, beneath yellowish-white with a usually inter- supted slight ferruginous bar on margin of third segment. Legs brown more or less irrorated with dark fuscous, with indistinct rings of white irroration. Forewings with lower cleft % of upper; ferruginous-browa, variably irrorated with dark fuscous ; two or three white scales at base of upper cleft ; the dark irroration forms a patch on base of first segment and an inwardly oblique fascia at its middle, between and beyond which the ful! ie eee ae . »™ j 105 Jour., Bom.

Hindwings dark fuscous, tinged with crimson anteriorly, and near base with ferruginous ; eilia rosy-fuseous, on dorsum with a small triangular blackish scale-projection just before middle of third segment, and a large cireular blackish scale-projection occupying its apex on both margins. Hambantota and Puttalam, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher); in October and November, eight specimens. This is the form bred in plenty by Mr. Fletcher from larve feeding on flowers of [tis quadrangularis;.it is the commonest Ceylon form (I have seen numerous specimens besides those here described), but possesses characters which I have never met with in examples from other localities. Mr. Fletcher includes it in his account of socotranus, but together with what I regard as heterogeneous material from various regions. Deuterocopus alopecodes, n. sp. 3 2. 10-llmm. Head and thorax ferruginous sprinkled with dark fuscous, thorax beneath whitish-yellow. Palpi whitish, second and termi- nal joints each with two ferrugimous bands. Antenne black, lined and dotted with white, ciliations in G3. Abdomen ferruginous, basal segment with two small white spots, posterior margin of second segment somewhat mixed with white, two or three pairs of white dots or slight marks on posterior segments, beneath whitish-yellow with well-marked entire deep ferruginous band on posterior margin of third segment. Legs ferruginous banded with dark fuscous suffusion on whorls, and more or less obscurely ringed with white. Forewings with lower cleft over 3 of upper; ferru- ginous, variably irrorated with dark fuscous; the dark irroration forms a patch on base of first segment and a band at its middle, latter sometimes hardly marked, its margins sometimes indicated by a few white scales ; two or three white scales on second segment beyond its middle: cilia golden- bronzy, slightly mixed with white scales on basal § of upper cleft and basalt half of lower, beyond this with a patch of dark fuscous suffusion on upper margin of second and third segments reaching apex, and on lower margin of all segments separated by a pale patch from a blackish downwards-direc- ted triangular apical scaletooth, most distinctly on second and third b> | we fa) aby | Ricoad marked Ohioudy rogndial, Aivtenh arin (if Magk Aunts, Sereanatadhy, ik: » hee PoRlia, botoen ta anes ° ek Piel sunset, tick ntsck i, Tange an gtiiege ! | = r ie [Seow isle m-aprigk Of seatiined blacte acuion Protas bas to Beyond maddie, Bin pi die Meith ae ae ‘ Nast Miao apd ete Ina eit arf mame! fie, ina, imbhah, with A atenuloe blu Kinli-adedaepmebyets Wnt elaf. bt aper ak, Wine WATE & blwhieh har, on sto fo tiaabiasait ae With, we bbnieiak: paheb Mw wid dle of Rivist, we foment, Wadi . 18,” thi ib darcisprlinatie; ole goblen-brenay, tO om isesuiy, ith, i ister ‘bHagenley acaletoath of Corenpheemyae poblong yropnitiog at Naek ard Tepengicona poalon’ oi adeupyiag ibs abet i both sich, ith Lin Teokor xargite, dremmmidp ely ewer inmte, Rarwary th Negast.

Hindwings dark fuscous, third segment ferruginous; cilia golden-bronzy, sometimes rosy-tinged, on dorsum with a small triangular scaletooth of ferrugimous on both sides, with its lower margin triangularly emarginate. Karwar, in August (Maxwell) ; five specimens. Mr. Maxwell, who is at present in England, informs me that these were all taken from a single vine-plant on which the species was plentiful, and that he will be able to ascertain its name on his return. Marasmarcha phlyctaenias, a. sp. $ 2. 16-20 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, face and crown somewhat infuscated. Palpi moderately long, slender, ochreous-whitish, terminal joint with dark fusecous lateral line. Antennze light greyish-ochreous, ciliations in g +. Thorax ochreous-whitish finely sprinkled with fuscous. Abdomen ochreous-whitish, with indications of pale brownish-ochreous stripes. Forewings cleft from #, segments acute, first moderate, second narrower (but mueh less narrow than in atomosa) ; whitish-ochreous, tinged with fuscous except towards dorsum anteriorly, more infuscated on poste- rior half, sometimes with a few scattered dark fuscous scales ; three more or less marked cloudy roundish diseal spots of dark fuscous irroration, viz., towards dorsum at !, towards costa at 3, and before cleft: cilia pale whitish-ochreous, grey on outer %, beneath apex of each segment with an irregular blackish scale-tooth, above apex of second with a short blackish subbasal line, on lower margin of first segment with three blackish specks, on dorsum with several irregular undefined groups of black specks. Hindwings with segments slender, acute; dark grey; cilia pale ochreous-grey, on dorsum with a series of scattered black scales from base to beyond middle. Puttalam and Trincomali, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher) ; N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome); from October to December, seven specimens. Closely allied to atomosa, but readily distinguished by the different colour and con- siderably broader segments of forewings. It has however hitherto been confused with atomosa, and most records of that species from Ceylon are probably referable to phlyctenias, but I have a specimen of atomosa from Peradeniya.

Nilgiris, 3,500 feet, from August to October (Andrewes), 9 specimens (5 3,4 2); alsol g from Ceylon, without further particulars. Almost exactly resembling tryrapha in all particulars both of structure and mark- ings, except in absence of notch of antenne in d, and in slight difference of posterior edge of central fascia, which in trigrapha forms a very slight but regular curve, in falsa is distinctly bent in middle and faintly sinuate zbove this. Besides the original examples I have a pair (¢ 2) from Khasi Hills which are truly referable to triyrapha. This is avery curious case, but on the structural difference | cannot treat these forms otherwise than as specifically distinct. EucosMID&. Argyroplece aolantha, n. sp. 3 Q. 14-17 mm.

Ambilangoda, Weligama and Barberyn Island, Ceylon, from January to March eas Occurs also in New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, and is probably attached to some cultivated plant. I have examples from the localities quoted by Lord Walsingham ; there is only one species, the colour characters being variable, and the curious tuft on undersurface of forewings always present in d but absent in 2. EPIMARPTID&. The following curious genus may, I think, be regarded as the type of a new family, since I am unable to refer 1t to any existing group without doing violence to established characters. It differs from the Cosmop- terygide by the terminal ending of vein 7 of forewings, and the structural features of the antennz and palpi are peculiar. Superficially it has some resemblance to the Heliodinide (Stathmopoda group), but does not show the characteristic leg-structure of that family, nor agrees in other respects, and even the markings are really different, being based on the stigmata, which are never exhibited in the Heliodinide. Probably it is a development of the Oecophoride. Epimarptis, n. g. Head smooth, rounded; ocelli present; tongue developed. Antenne nearly 1, in ¢ simple, near base of stalk with a notch covered by an oblique tooth beneath it, basal joint elongate, without pecten.

Hindwings grey; cilia light- greyish-ochreous. Karwar, Kanara, bred in September (Maxwell); one specimen, Larva reddish (including head); lives in a white web on midrib of an unknown plant, the web being on both sides of the leaf, kept off the surface by little pillars of excrement ; the webs on either surface of the leaf are con- nected by holes through the leaf itself, and the larva uses these alternative abodes as a means of escaping observation, dodging through the holes with much agility: cocoon separate, close to midrib, oval, resembling a bird-dropping (Maxwell). These singular and interesting habits confirm the peculiarity of the type. CHcOPHORID. Tonica teratella, Walk. Pupa erect on its tail, exposed ; found on a leaf of bamboo (Maxwell). Cryptolechia arvalis, Meyr. Larva greyish-green, head black; feeds between two or more leaves of Careya arborea, spun together so as to adhere flatly; pupates in same position; abundant in larval stage, but never met with on the wing (Maxwell). ’ & “& PHYSOPTILIDE. +10 Or fi I propose this new family for the following genus, which at present stands isolated as a peculiar type. I suppose it to be a derivative of the NXyloryetide, from which it may be technically distinguished by the absence of vein 6 of hindwings. Physoptila, n. g. Head smooth, densely sealed, side tufts erect; ocelli absent; tongue short. Antenne %, in ¢ minutely ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten.

Forewings with tufts of raised scales on surface, apex strongly caudate ; 1b long-furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 from angle, 4 somewhat approximated to 38, weak, 5 from middle of transverse vein, 6 absent (obsolete), 8 absent (coincident with 7), 7 to apex, 9 and 10 from near end of cell, 11 from middle. Hindwings under 1, subtrapezoidal, apex long produced, termen deeply sinuate, cilia 1}; 2 rather eurved, 3 and 4 very long-stalked from angle, 5 from middle of transverse vein, 6 absent, 7 to apex.

One specimen sent by Mr. Maxwell as bred from the same plant with A, cylicota, and not recognised as distinct ; the two species are generally similar but certainly distinct, and as only one of each was sent, the identifi- eation of the larva lacks precision, and needs further investigation. Acrocercops hevachorda, n. sp. ; &. 8 mm. Head and thorax whitish. Palpi slender, whitish, with subapical ring of second joint, two rings of terminal, and apical edge ante- riorly dark fuscous. Forewings very narrowly elongate-lanceolate ; light brownish-ochreous ; six slender oblique equidistant whitish fascix, edged with a few blackish specks, first at }, sixth towards apex; some blackish scales transversely arranged midway between first and base, and some scattered along dorsum: cilia ochreous-whitish, with an oblique black line crossing apex at base. Hindwings grey ; cilia light violet-grey. N. Coorg, at 8,500 feet, in January (Newcome); two specimens. Allied to group of ordinatella, Acrocercops scandalota, n. sp. - o.7mm. Head grey-whitish, collar ochreous-whitish. Palpi slender white, lined above with dark fuscous, Thorax ochreous-whitish, patagia dark fuscous. Forewings extremely narrowly elongate-lanceolate; dark bronzy-fuscous ; a narrow ochreous-whitish streak along dorsum from base to tornus; close beyond this a triangular ochreous-whitish spot hardly reaching costa, followed by an oblique silvery-whitish costal strigula surrounded with blackish-fuscous ; a small ochreous-whitish triangular spot on termen before apex; a silvery-whitish eblique strigula surrounded with blackish-fuscous crosssing apex, partly in costal cilia: cilia grey, round apex whitish, with a short dark fuscous subbasal mark opposite apex, and two bars beneath apex. Hindwings and cilia rather dark grey, with violet reflections. N. Coorg, at 3,500 feet, in January (Newcome); one specimen, Allied to the Australian didymella. Acrocercops gemoniella, Staint. Having now obtained genuine examples of this species, I find that the insect previously recorded by me under this name is really a distinct species, which is described below ; I had. remarked a difference, but supposed it to be varietal (Vol. XVIII, p. 820). Larva mining blotches in leaves of Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) ; pupa in external oval brownish-yellow cocoon in depression on surface of leaf (Maxwell). Stainton’s original type was bred, but from an unknown plant. Acrocercops preclusa, n. sp. 3 Q. 7-8mm. Head silvery-white. Palpislender, white. Thorax white, patagia ochreous-bronzy.

Forewings very narrowly elongate, parallel-sided, moderately pointed; bronzy-ochreous ; a narrow white dorsal stripe from base to tornus, posterior third expanded into a semioval dilation reaching half across wing, edge otherwise straight ; a somewhat oblique free white strigula from costa directed towards extremity of this; a broad white preapical fascia narrowed towards costa, adjoining a black apical dot: cilia pale grey, round apex white, at apex with a short black subbasal hook. Hindwings grey; cilia pale ochreous-grey. Maskeliya, Ceylon, in March and April (Pole) ; N. Coorg, at 3,500 feet, in October (Newcome); six specimens. Formerly recorded as gemoniella, from which it differs by absence of median prominence of dorsal streak and dorsal dot of groundcolour beneath it, also by preeapical fascia fully reaching costa in moderate breadth, whereas in gemonied/a it is rounded off above so as hardly to reach it. Acrocercops syngramma, n. sp. 3. 7mm. Head white, face pale grey. Palpi slender, white. Thorax [3] 1220 Jour., Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc., Vol. XXIIL, No.1. — [June 30, 1914, white, patagia bronzy.

Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia grey. Karwar, Kanara, bred in July (Maxwell) ; two specimens. Larva mining a compact blotch in Ieaves of Mango (Mangifera indica) ; pupa in a detached oval brownish-yellow cocoon on surface of leaf (Maxwell). The species is very similar to preclusa, but differs by the costal strigula running into preeapical fascia, and conspicuous dark apex of abdomen. “Acrocercops vanula, Meyr. Larva mining large blotches in leaves of Terminalia tomentosa (Combretacce); pupa yellowish, in large oval cream-coloured cocoon spun usually on vein inside the mine, the cuticle subsequently peelmg off and leaving the cocoon exposed ; this seems the normal arrangement, but in eaptivity the larva sometimes makes an external cocoon in a recess on surface of leaf (Maxwell). Mr. Maxwell writes “ The imago is peculiar in that whenever observed, even while at rest, it has been found to stand high on its legs quivering contmu- ously; I have bred it frequently at different times for two years, and this characteristic is always present, though not noticed im any other Acrocercops.” , Acrocercops elaphopa, . sp. g. 7mm.
