DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, ,
By E? Mayrick, B.A. FBS, FES. |
Re

In this and successive papers I propose to endeavour to work out
the Indian Micro-Lepidoptera (including under this head those of
Burma and Ceylon), a task of great interest and probably also of great
magnitude. For material I shall be wholly dependent on others, since
there is no likelihood of my being able to visit the region personally at
present, and I have already received much kind help and promise of
more. I venture, however, to appeal to all collectors to assist in this
matter : very little is known at present, and even the commonest species
will be welcomed, to ascertain geographical range and variation. Full
information as to localities, elevation, dates, and larval habits is also
desired. If collectors will riumber the species sent in rotation, proceed-
ing to higher numbers for successive consignments, and retaining
specimens with corresponding numbers, I will send them the identif-
cations aecording to these numbers. All types of species described
will eventually be deposited in the collection of the British Museum ;
but I hope also to be able to send duplicates of many species to Mr.
E. E. Green, Government Entomologist of Ceylon, and Mr. L. CO. H.
Young, Entomological Curator at the Bombay Museum, to form re-
ference collections which can be consulted on the spot.

It is very desirable that specimens should be in good condition ;
poor specimens may be identified if the species is already known,
but could not be described. In particular, care should be taken to
prevent their becoming mouldy, which, 1 am aware, is difficult in the
tropics ; but mould will not attack insects in boxes if a small piece of
sponge is pinned in one corner (so as not to come in contact with the
box itself) and some carbolic acid dropped-on the sponge; the vapour

will not only keep off mould, but insect pests of all descriptions.
Mould on the head of small insects makes the structure unrecognisable,
and, in general, cannot be removed.

It is impossible to insist too strongly on the necessity for proper
packing; it is very disappointing to all concerned when valuable
specimens are destroyed in transit, whilst with due care this need never
happen. I recommend that the following instructions shonld be strict-
ly carried out. The insect-box should be small and light, no strength
being required, and the cork should be good ; the specimens placed as

~ close together as possible, all pins firmly fixed, and if naphthaline or

other preservative is included, it should be wrapped in muslin, and this
very firmly pinned. A piece of loose cotton wool may be pinned in
one corner to catch stray abdomens if detached. The insect-box should
then be packed in a larger box of sufficient size to allow of at least one
inch of packing all round, and at top and bottom ; this packing should
be either cotton wool or tightly crumpled paper, the latter material
being unsurpassed for cheapness and efficiency. The outer case must
be strong enough to resist moderate pressure, bat any light wooden box
will serve, or a biscuit-tin does very well. The address should not be
entrusted to a tied label, as these are frequently dragged off in transit,
but gummed on the outer case. Insects thus packed were sent me by
Captain (now Lt.-Col.) Manders from the Shan States, travelling
hundreds of miles by pack-mule over mountain ranges and unbridged
torrents before making the voyage to England, and_ suffered absolutely
no damage. All consignments should be addressed to me at Thorn-
hanger, Marlborough, Wilts.

All specimens must be pinned, not sent in papers ; if pessible, they
should be set, as they do not relax so well as larger insects, and this
applies especially to the more minute species which can hardly be set
excapt when fresh. Fine pins of only moderate length should be used ,
for average Micros it suffices if there is about half-an-inch of pin below
the insect, and enough above to grasp with the forceps.

As the basis of the following descriptions I have assumed the classi-
fication, terminology, systematic characters, &c., given in my “ Hand-
book of British Lapidoptera.’”” As the work proceeds, I will give such
dichotomous tabulations of the genera and species from time to time as
may seem necessary. Meanwhile, [ shall be glad to explain to corres-
pondents any difficulties that they find in identification of species.

expansible hair pencils above. Forewings in ¢ without costa] fold, termen
straight or slightly rounded, with dorsal scale-projection at 4, 7 and 8 separate.
Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated to 4,6 and 7 approximated

Closely allied to Eucosma, from which it differs essentially by the brush-
like posterior tibie, This character is not mentioned at all by Lord
Walsingham, but his genus was based onthe single species aprobola Meyr.,,
which shows the structure clearly. I have also an undescribed Australian
species,and now add eight from Ceylon, so that the genus will doubtless prove
very extensive,

TORTRICIDA,

Eboda Walk.

Antenne in § moderately ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected or ascending.
Thorax without crest. Forewings without costal fo! ; 3and 4 stalked, 7 to
termen, Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 absent, 6 and 7 stalked.

Apparently related to Oxygrapha, but easily distinguished by the different
neuration,

Eboda smaragdinana Walk.

(Eboda smaragdinana Walk, Cat. Suppl. 1805.)

OQ. 14-18 mm, Head and thorax green, Palpi white, spotted with olive-
green. Abdomen dark-grey. Forewings suboblong, costa abruptly arched and
roughened with scales near base, broadly prominent and with a patch of rough
projecting scales beyond middle, apex rounded-obtuse, termen slightly rounded,
vertical ; deep emerald-green ; a round spot in middle of disc, a transverse
spot from dorsum beyond middle nearly reaching it and sometimes a subcostal
dot beyond middle mixed with ochreous and blackish raised scales, and edged
with whitish ; a narrow dark grey terminal fascia continued round apex, an-
teriorly marked with blackish and edged with white, terminating just above
tornus ; a blackish white-edged tornal dot ; cilia grey, base spotted with pale
ochreous, Hindwings dark fuscous ; cilia fuscous, tips whitish,

Seven specimens, Kandy and Haragam, Ceylon, in March, August, and Sep-
tember (Green), Walker's type is from New Guinea ; his description is unre=
cognisable.

Oxygrapha Hb.

T think it best to follow Lord Walsingham in adopting this name for the
" genus standing as Acalla in my Handbook,

Oxygrapha sagmatias n, sp.

@. 17-20 mm. Head and thorax fuscous, Abdomen pale fuscous or
whitish-fuscous, Forewings moderately elongate, costa strongly and evenly
arched throughout, apex obtuse, termen faintly sinuate, little oblique, rounded
beneath ; fuscous, obscurely strigulated with darker, more or less mixed or

sprinkled with ferruginous-brown, some very small scattered scale-tufts; a curved |

ochreous-yellow ferruginous-mixed fascia-like blotch running from dorsum near
base obliquely outwards to middle of disc, thence bent towards tornus and
terminating at 3, but this blotch is sometimes (var. 2) wholly obsolete ; a very
small white spot before apex ; cilia dark fuscous, base and a median line paler.
Hindwings pale fuscous or whitish-fuscous, suffused with darker posteriorly ;
cilia whitish-fuscous, with dark fuscous subbasal line,

Five specimens, Maskeliya and Horton Plains, Ceylon, in February and
March (Pole, Green),

Epagoge siderantha n, sp,

6 ¢. 12-14 mm. Head and palpi pale brownish-ochreous or brownish,
palpiin @ 3, in 9 almost 4. Thorax brown, with large posterior crest tipped
with dark fuscous, Abdomen whitish-fuscous, suffused with grey posteriorty,

[2]

589 Journ,, Bom, Nat, Hist, Suc,, Vol. XVI, No.4. [Nov. 2, 1905.

especially in Q, anal tuft of @ whitish, Forewings elongate-triangular, costa
moderately and evenly arched, apex obtuse, termen sinuate beneath apex, little
oblique, rounded beneath; ferruginous-brown; numerous scattered small
shining bluish-leaden-metallic spots, and a transverse series immediately before
termen ;in @ a triangular pale yellow costal spot before middle, and a smaller
one beyond middle; in @ a triangular costal spot of orange suffusion beyond
middle, and a large semi-circular deep orange dorsal blotch extending from 3
almost to tornus, marked on dorsum with a pale yellow irregular outwardly
oblique sometimes interrupted mark before middle, and a small pale yellow
triangular spot beyond middle ; cilia pale ochreous-yellow, at tornus dark grey.
__Hindwings yellow-whitish, in @ with apex and some posterior and terminal
strigule dark grey, in Q posteriorly rather widely suffused with dark grey, more
strongly towards termen ; cilia ochreous-whitish, towards lower half of termen
greyish, in 9 with dark grey sub-basal shade,

Three specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February and March (Pole),

Cacecia epicyrta, 0. sp.

G 18-21 mm. 9 23 mm, Head and thorax reddish-fuscous, sometimes mixed
with ferruginous, Palpi ferruginous, Abdomen fuscous, anal tuft brownish-
ochreous, Forewings moderate, posteriorly dilated, costa in @ moderately arched
anteriorly and sinuate before apex, in 9 more strongly arched and sinuate, apex
obtuse, prominent and in ¥ considerably produced, termen sinuate, beneath apex,
not oblique but rather prominently bowed; 7 and 8 nearly approximated towards
base ; costal fold of @¢ reaching from base to 2 of costa, almost 4 ef wing in
breadth, enclosing a pale ochreous-yellowish tuft ; ferruginous-ochreous, in
strigulated with brown ; costal fold of ¢ suffused with dark fuscous ; an oblique
triangular deep red-brown blotch from dorsum near base ; central fascia darker,
in @ suffused with the purplish-fuscous and make above middle with deep red=
brown, running from 2 of costa to before tornus, narrowed on costa, edges
irregular and ill-defined;a dark red-brown elongate costal spot, reaching from
middle to £; in g@ a red-brown sub-apical spot, and an oblique ferruginous-
brown mark from beneath costal spot, nearly reaching termen above tornus ;
cilia ferruginous, at apex dark fuscous, towards tornus pale ochreous-yellowish.
Hindwings pale ochreous-yellowish, becoming deeper towards apex, dorsal
half grey ; cilia pale yellowish, round apex grey on outer half ;in Q on costa
with a thickened patch of dense-grey scales from beyond middle to near apex.

Seven specimens, Maskeliya, Puttalam, and Newera Eliya, Ceylon, from
July to September (Green), Bred from larva feeding in fruit of plum in
May (Green) ; but very probably the larva is a general feeder. This species is
very similar to the European C. podana ; it may be distinguished structurally
by the approximation of veins 7 and 8 of forewings towards base (in podana
these diverge from base), the much broader costal fold of @, the prominent
termen of forewings, and in 2 the thickened patch of scales in costal cilia of
hindwings ; and also by the grey colour of the hindwings being confined to
dorsal half, whereas in podana it extends towards costa anteriorly,

Nov. 2, 1905,] Indian Micro-Lepidoptera. 592

One specimen, Rawalpindi, Punjab (Manders).

Epithectis studiosa,n, sp.

32. 9-10mm, Head, palpi, antenne, thorax, and abdomen ochreous-

whitish, tinged with pale fuscous, Forewings elongate, lanceolate; pale whitish-
ochreous, brownish-tinged, towards apex with scales somewhat roughened ;
an obscure streak of fuscous suffusion from disc beyond middle to apex ;
cilia whitish-ochreous, Hindwings with apex somewhat produced termen
sinuate, 5 basally obsolescent; pale whitish-ochreous ; cilia pale whitish-
ochreous.
- Four specimens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, in December (Green). Larva
destructive to dried plants in herbarium (Green). The larval habit is
singular, but in this specialised form must be quite recent ; it will doubtless be
found to feed naturally under other circumstances.

Gelechia gossypiella, Saund,

Surat, Bombay (Maxwell-Lefroy), This species, described by Saunders as a
Depressaria, is a true Gelechéa, nearly allied to the European G. malvella, which
feeds on an allied plant in the same way. It is stated to be very destructive
to cotion,

Gnorimoschema heliopa, Low.

Peradeniya, Ceylon (Green); Cambay, Bombay (Maxwell-Lefroy), This
species is Australian, and belongs to a group of nearly allied species native
to that region, but its food plant has not been noticed there ; it might prove
to be an indigenous Solanwm, In India and Ceylon it is a serious pest of the
tobacco plant (Nicotiana) ; “the larva bores into the stem, and ultimately
causes death ; its presence may be known bya swelling of the green stem ;
it usually affects quite small plants in nurseries, but sometimes older plants ;
the point of infection is often on underside of midrib of leaf’? (Green). It
does not appear to be known in America, the home of the tobacco plant ; I
showed specimens to Mr. Busck, the principal authority on North American
Tineina, and he was unacquainted with it; but a similar (probably the same)
insect is reported to be destructive in Java. The moth is a small mottled
yellow-brown species, resembling an ordinary Gelechia of the obsoletella group.

Tipha, Walk, —_—

Antenne over 1, in @ simple, basal joint sometimes with short apical pro- hngertina
minence, Labial palpi in @ variably modified, second joint often much Pe
enlarged with projecting scales, terminal joint often more or less aborted | aegis
in Q long, recurved, second joint with oppressed scales, slightly rough beneath we
towards apex, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Posterior tibis
and tarsi sometimes clothed with projecting scales above. Forewings with
3 absent, 2 and 4 approximated or stalked or coincident, 7 and 8 stalked or
coincident, 7 to costa or apex on termen, 9 sometimes out of 7. Hindwings F;
elongate-trapezoidal, in @ apex obtuse, termen sinuate or rounded, in Q apex
round-pointed, termen sinuate, cilia 1; in @ 3 absent, 2and 4 connate or
stalked, 5 absent, 6 and 7 connate or stalked, or coincident cell sometimes

open, in Q 2 remote, 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 near, parallel, 6 and
7 connate or stalked.

This genus shows considerable variation of structure, especially in veins 7—9
of forewings, and in the often greatly modified palpi and other secondary
sexual characters of the @ ; but I have no doubt that the different forms are
properly included in the same genus, which remains easily definable, From
Timyra it is readily distinguished by the absence of vein 3 in forewings, the
presence of vein 5 in hindwings of 9, and the want of the large median tuft
of posterior tibie, The curious modification of the palpi of @ occurs in_
varying degree in some species of Timyra, Crocanthes, and other allied genera,
and is certainly only a specific character. Cacogamia, Snell, would seem from
the descriptions to be a synonym of this genus.

Xylorycta Meyr,

I propose to widen the definition of the genus Xyloryeta, so far as to unite
with it the genera Lichenwula, Telecrates, Clerarcha, Plectophila, and Chalarotona.
These were all published by me at the same time, and I select the name of
Xylorycta for the resulting group because I made that typical of the family
and therefore gave it precedence. The structural characters are thus extended
in the following particulars: Antennal ciliations of é variable (3—3) ; 7 of
forewings to apex or termen ; 6 and 7 of hindwings approximated, connate, or
stalked.

CcPROMORPHIDA,

When originally describing the genus Copromorpha, I suggested that it would
probably be necessary to regard it as the type of a new family, ‘and I now think
it advisable to give effect to the suggestion, The-characters of the family are
at present those of the genus; the basal pectination of hairs on the lower
margin of cell of hindwings is a peculiar character amongst the Tineina, possi-
bly indicating some relationship to the Tortricina ; otherwise the family has
probably most affinity tio the Xyloryctide, though differing in the separation of
veins 7 and 8 of forewings, the parallel veins 6 and 7 of hindwings, and the
thickened palpi,

elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa posteriorly strongly arched, apex rounded-
obtuse, termen rather obliquely rounded ; cell very narrow ; scales on veins
roughened, on margins of cell tufted, between veins appearmg ribbed owing to
their bases being transparent ; ochreous-whitish, thinly stréwn with small
fuscous spots (in Assam example towards dorsum more ochreous and mottled
with fuscous) ; costa irregularly spotted with dark fuscous ; several irregular
‘dark fuscous spots on margins of cell, its posterior end more or less suffused with

Two specimens, Hantane, Ceylon,in March (Green), This is very closely
allied to the other known species, but shows slight structural as well as super«
ficial differences. The neuration is misinterpreted in my description of the
generic characters when dealing with the Australian 7. purella, and should
be as follows :—Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked from angle and approximated
throughout, 4 absent, 5 connate or short-stalked with 2, 6 from middle of
transverse vein, 7 and 8 approximated at base or connate, 7 to termen, 9 absent,

DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA.
By

HW. MEYRICK, B.A., F.R.S., F.Z.S.
I],

Thanks to the energy of the Micro-Lepidopterists of Ceylon, I have
now received a considerable quantity of material from that island, and
the present paper is mainly deveted to a selection from it, I am
indebted for these valuable contributions te Messrs. J. Pole, of Maske-
liya; E. E. Grean, of Peradeniya; G. B. de Mowbray, of Maskeliya ;
G. C. Alston, of Maskeliya ; and W. Vaughan, of Madulsima.

IT have had some instructions for collecters printed, and shall be
pleased te send a copy te any collector in the Indian region who will
send me his address.

Seventeen genera and seventy-six species are here described as new,
and some other species are recorded from the region for the first time,

PHALONIAD®.

Meridarchis, Zell.

This genus, founded by Zeller on the Indian trapeziella, and attributed by
him to the Gelechiade, is, I find, so close to Tribonica, Meyr,, that it will be
better at present to treat them as identical and sink the latter name, although it
is possible that the small structural differences existing may ultimately involve
their separation, The types of Meridarchis and Tribonica, and the two addi-
tional species now described, agree together, and are distinguished from all
nearly allied forms by the stalking of veins 8 and 9 of forewings,

orange-ochreous spot towards apex, connected by two indistinct oblique grey
strigule with costa, beneath with two longer similar strigule, first reaching
fold and angulated on it to margin, second limited below by a yellowish mark ;
a blackish apical dot, more strongly marked on undersurface: cilia ochreous-
whitish, round apex and termen with a grey median shade, on termen with a
_ fine yellowish basal line and some black basal scales at tornus. Hindwings very
narrow, cilia 5 ; pale grey ; a minute blackish apical dot; cilia ochreous-grey-
whitish, with some blackish median scales opposite apex.

One specimen, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in March (Pole), To this genus is also
referable animosella, Walk., described under Gelechia.

Idiophantis soreuta, n. sp.

g- 13~14mm. Head pale ochreous, face and palpi whitish-ochreous, ter-

whitish, lined with dark fuscous. Thorax pale ochreous, shoulders narrowly
fuscous, Abdomen light grey. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently
arched, termen very deeply concave, so that apex becomes a narrow twisted
strip, tornus a somewhat shorter, strong, rounded prominence ; 6 absent ; pale
brownish-ochreous, towards apex yellowish-tinged ; a dark fuscous patch
extending along costa from base to 2, not reaching half across wing, lower edge
with two short darker rounded prominences before middle, posterior edge
straight, oblique; a few variable scattered dark fuscous dots or dashes
between this and dorsum; a fine whitish fuscous-edged line from 3 of costa
to dorsum before tornus, right-angled above middle, arms subsinuate ; a whitish
streak along costa towards apex, edged with fuscous beneath ; a small dark
metallic-bronze spot on termen beneath middle: cilia whitish-ochreous, round
apex with a dark fuscous basal line, opposite terminal spot with a metallic-
bronze patch, Hindwings fuscous ; cilia whitish-fuscous, with darker subbasal
shade,

Three specimens, Puttalam, Ceylon, in November and December (Pole). The
absence of vein 6 of the forewings is an extension of the generic characters,
but the species is in all respects so clearly allied to the Australian insect which
forms the type of Idiophantis that I do not hesitate to include them together,

; pointed, acute ; 6 out of 7; bronzy-fuscous, irrorated with dark fuscous, some-
times paler-sprinkled ; stigmata dark fuscous, very obscure, plical obliquely
before first discal, edged posteriorly by an ochreous-whitish dot; a small
ochreous-whitish costal spot before 2: cilia fuscous, towards base mixed with
brown and black points, with a median black line. Hindwings and cilia grey.

leaves spun together on the ground-nut (Arachis hypogaa), and is destructive to
foliage ; egg pale green, irregularly elongate-oval, surface coarsely pitted in
irregular longitudinal series, under the microscope remarkably similar both in
form and sculpture to seed of Arachis.” This species is very closely allied to
the common European anthyllidella, differing only by the ochreous-whitish face
and second joint of palpi, which in anthyllidella are pale fuscous; also very
close to the Australian clarisignella, but differing by the absence of the pale
dorsal spot. These three species appear to be representative geographical
forms,

Epicenia chiorodelta, n. sp.

& @. 14-15 mm, Head, palpi, and thorax ochreous-orange, second joint
of palpi with lower half irrorated with fuscous and a dark fuscous subapical
ring, terminal joint somewhat shorter than second, with traces of a dark fuscous
median ring, Antenne pale ochreous-yellowish ringed with dark fuscous,
Abdomen rather dark fusceus, Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched,

_apex_round-pointed, termen slightly rounded, oblique ; dark fuscous ; a small __

basal ochreous-orange spot; stigmata and a small pretornal spot very
obscurely darker, plical obliquely before first discal ; a triangular ochreous-
orange blotch extending on costa from 4 to rather near apex, and reaching

more than half across wing: cilia pale ochreous, at apex and tornus with
patches of dark fuscous suffusion, Hindwings dark grey ; cilia grey,

Four specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February and Qctober (Pole, do
Mowbray).

Epicenia authema, 0. sp.

@ @. 12—13 mm, Head and thorax whitish-ochreous, mixed with dark
fuscous, Paipi whitish-ochreous, second joint irrorated or suffused with dark
fuscous except at apex, terminal joint somewhat shorter than second, with
dark fuscous median band sometimes extended nearly to base. Antennse
whitish-fuscous or whitish-ochreous tinged with fuscous, obscurely ringed
with dark fuscous. Abdomen grey, apex whitish-ochreous, Forewings
elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, termen very
obliquely rounded ; pale ochreous, irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous ;
stigmata rather large, dark fuscous, plical nearly beneath first discal ; a small
dark fuscous preetornal spot ; an almost marginal series of dark fuscous dois
along posterior half of costa and termen: cilia whitish-ochreous, basal half
yellowish, with a median line of dark fuscous points, apical half with faint
whitish-fuscous irroration, on costa sometimes barred with dark fuscous irrora-
tion, Hindwings grey, darker in Q ; cilia pale grey, sometimes suffused with
whitish-ochreous towards base.

Four specimens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, in February (three bred) (Green).
Larva constructs heliciform cases on surface of moss-covered rocks (Green) ;
cases sent seem to consist of a gradually dilated gallery coiled ina flat rounded
spiral, and are composed of silk closely covered with grains of sand and frag-
ments of lichens, This species is extremely close to EK. chernetis, and both
appear to vary in small details ; authama is smaller, with the forewings obviously
narrower and with more strongly oblique termen, and the terminal jo'nt of palpi
relatively shorter ; the larval habits are distinct.

Epicenia, chernetis, n. sp.

Fifteen specimens, Peradeniya and—Madulsima, Ceylon, from February to
Apri (Green, Yaughem). Larva feeding in galleries several inches long on
surface of moss-covered rocks, and pupating in an enlarged chamber (Green) ;
apecimens of these galleries sent by Mr. Green are composed of silk covered
with grains of sand and fragments of lichen, moss, and incidental refuse ; from
similar undistinguished galleries two other species of different genera were also
bred, Not only is this species very close to E, authema as noted above, but
also by its obscure and ordinary colouring exceedingly similar superficially to
species of other genera, from which it must be carefully distinguished by
verifying the neuration,

& Q. 16-18 mm. Head whitish-ochreous mixed with fuscous. Palpi very
long, whitish, in @ second joint much elongated, flatly compressed, clothed
with very long whitish hairs above and beneath, terminal joint short, greyish,
thickened with dense scales, hardly pointed, in 9 second joint smooth-scaled,
slender. Antenne grey, in ¢ darker, with large dense concave anterior tuft on
basal joint. Thorax rather dark fuscous, posterior extremity ochreous-whitish,
Abdomen pale ochreous, Legs dark fuscous ringed with whitish, posterior
tibiz clothed above with very long projecting curled whitish hairs mixed with
dark fuscous in middle, TForewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately
arched towards extremities, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; 3, 4, 5
approximated, 7 to apex; whitish-ochreous; a narrow dark fuscous basal
fascia; two broad rather dark fuscous fascize about 4 and , first somewhat
narrowed towards costa, second rather oblique, more or leas constricted in disc,
beneath dilated and confluent posteriorly with a broad dark fuscous suffusion
or irroration in disc ; between these fasciz a very undefined oblique median line
of dark fuscous irroration ; a dark fuscous terminal streak, thickened at apex :
cilia whitish-ochreous becoming ochreous-yellowish towards base, with a dark
fuscous antemedian shade, Hindwings fuscous; in g a broad median longi-
tudinal ochreous-yellow band, including a deep central groove, and a subdorsal
groove enclosing an ochreous-yellow hairpencil from base; cilia whitish-
ochreous.

Hight specimens, Madulsima, Matale, and Maskeliya, Ceylon, in January,
April, and October (Vaughan, Alston, Pole), Allied to the following,

Timyra irrorella, Wals,

(Tipha irrorella, Wals., Moore Lep. Ceyl. iii, 517, pl. 209, 9.)

Peradeniya, Maturatta, Diyatalawa, Puttalam, Ceylon ; a common species,

Timyra crassella, Feld,

(Harpella crassella, Feld. Reis, Nov, pl. cxxxix, 22 ; Timyra sphenias, Meyr.)

Felder’s figure is very poor and not characteristic, and the locality is said to
be Ternate, hence I failed to recognise his species; but I have since seen his

type, which is certainly this insect ; the alleged locality is doubtless erroneous,
as is frequently the case with Felder’s species.

Timyra peronetris, n, Sp.

&. 29-30mm, Head, palpi, and thorax rather dark fuscous ; palpi very long,
basal joint elongate, so that it forms a sharp elbow with second, second joint
reaching much above vertex, broadly compressed, internally with large dense
expansible tuft of very long whitish hairs, terminal joint about half second,
dilated with dense scales, tolerablyobtuse. Antenne fuscous-ochreous, basal
joint with large dense anterior dark fuscous scale-tuft. Abdomen fuscous,
sides suffused with pale ochreous-yellowish, Legs dark fuscous, ringed with
pale yellowish, anterior tibise rough-haired beneath, middle tibie rough-scaled,
posterior tibie hairy beneath and with very large curled median tuft of light
fuscous scales above, posterior tarsi rough-scaled above throughout. Forewings
elongate, narrow, posteriorly somewhat dilated, costa gently arched, apex
obtuse, termen rather obliquely rounded; 3, 4,5 approximated, 7 to termen ;
dark fuscous, with a few whitish-ochreous scales ; a tuft of scales in disc near
base ; a transverse light ochreous-yellow mark at 4, somewhat dilated upwards,
reaching from near costa to below middle: cilia whitish-fuscous, darker towards
tips, base pale ochreous-yellow, with a dark fuscous subbasal shade, Hind-
wings oblong, termen beneath apex hardly oblique ; ochreous-yellow ; a mode-
rate suffused dark fuscous streak along costa, dilated at apex ; a suffused dark
fuscous streak proceeding from a basal tuft of scales along dorsum and termen
to above middle, widest at tornus and gradually attenuated ; a groove along
fold, enclosing an exceedingly long expansible pale ochreous-yellowish hair-
pencil ; cilia whitish-ochreous, becoming ochreous-yellow towards base on upper
part of termen, with fuscous subbasal shade obsolete on yellow area,

. Three specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in January and February (Pole, Alston).
Very similar to crassella, but structurally distinct in the palpi, especially by the
elongate basal joint and resulting elbow, the large whitish interior hairtuft, and
the dark fuscous costal streak of hindwings, of which the termen is less cblique
on upper portion and therefore more prominently bowed ; the reduced yellow
mark of forewings is found also sometimes in crassella, but is there exceptional.

Timyra parochra, 0. sp.

Q&. 23-27 mm. Head ochreous, Palpi dark purplish-fuscous, internally
deep ochreous-yellow, second joint thickened with scales, above rough-scaled,
terminal joint shorter than second, thickened with scales, tolerably pointed,
Antenne ochreous faintly ringed with fuscous, basal joint without tuft,
Thorax purplish-fuscous, more or less mixed with pale ochreous. Abdomen
pale ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, ringed with ochreous-yellowish, posterior
tibia orange-suffused on basal half, partially rough-scaled, with large
curled median purplish-fuscous tuft above, posterior tarsi somewhat
rough-sealed above, Forewings elongate, rather narrowed towards base, costa
moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen rather obliquely rounded ; 3, 4, 5
approximated, 7 to termen ; deep yellow-ochreous or brownish-ochreous, irro-

rated with purplish fuscous and dark fuscous ; a curved postmedian fascia more
or less obscurely indicated by margins of purplish-fuscous and dark fuscous
suffusion, narrowed dorsally, enclosed portion sometimes ferruginous-tinged :
cilia whitish-ochreous tinged with fuscous, more yellow-ochreous basally, with
subbasal fuscous line, on costa deep yellow-ochreous, Hindwings pale whitish-
ochreous, towards termen slightly infuscated ; a slight groove on lower margin
of cell; cilia whitish-ochreous, base yellowish-tinged, sometimes with indis-
tinct fuscous subbasal line,
~~ Five specimens, Maturatta, Ceylon, in July (Pole),

Macrernis rostrata, n. sp.

@. 18-21 mm. Head and thorax light brownish-ochreous, faintly lilac-
tinged, hairs of crown projecting between antenne, Palpi pale ochreous, mixed
with deeper ochreous and dark fuscous, Antenne whitish-ochreous, faintly
fuscous-ringed. Abdomen pale ochreous. Forewings elongate, narrow,
posteriorly slightly dilated, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, termen

“sinuate, oblique ; brownish-ochreous, with a few scattered dark fuscous scales ;
a dark fuscous mark along base of costa; a dark fuscous streak of somewhat
raised scales along dorsum from base to tornus, enclosing a groove along vein
1b, with a flap of hairscales curved over it from above towards base, upper
edge of streak with two strong projections at 4 and 2, first triangular, reaching
half across wing, second fascia-like, parallel to termen, reaching above middle
of wing ; a suffused dark fuscous streak along termen: cilia light brownish-
ochreous, with one or two indistinct fuscous lines, Hindwings whitish-
ochreous-grey ; cilia whitish-ochreous.

Six specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in January, February, and July (Pole,
Alston, de Mowbray) It seems probable that Frisilia nesciatella, Walk.,
though described as a male, is the female of a species of this genus, in which
case the generic name F'ristlia would have to be adopted ; but Iam not yet
able to identify with certainty Walker’s species.

Heliangara, n, g.

Head with appressed scales, face retreating ; tongue developed, Antenns
over 1, thick, compressed, in ¢ simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten.
Labial palpi moderately long, curved, ascending, smooth-scaled, terminal joint
shorter than second, acute, Posterior tibia rough-scaled above, Forewings
with 2 from angle, 3 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 9 and 10 from near
7, 11 from before middle, Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 13: 3 and 4
stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 long-stalked,

A genus of very peculiar facies, but apparently bearing much the same
relationship to Warthecoceros that Tipha does to Macrernis.

Heliangara lampetis, n. sp.

&@ @. 11-13 mm. Head shining ochreous-bronze, face paler. Antenne
ochreous-yellowish, tip infuscated, Palpi ochreous-yellow, Thorax shining
purple-bronze, Abdomen rather dark bronzy-fuscous, Forewings elongate,
narrow, costa slightly arched, somewhat sinuate beyond middle, apex round.

pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded; bright shining purple-coppery-
bronze ; a suffused orange-yellow patch extending along dorsum from } to 3,
narrowed to extremities, not reaching half across wing ; two parallel thick
transverse ridges of faised seales about 3: cilia light shining yellowish, more
or less mixed with bronzy and pale purplish towards base. Hindwings dark
fuscous, thinly scaled in disc ; cilia rather dark fuscous.

Twelve specimens, Puttalam, Ceylon, from September to November (Pole),

Narthecoceros, n.g,

Head with appressed scales ; tongue developed, Antenne 1, thick, flatly com-
pressed throughout, basal joint moderate, without pecten, Labial palpi long,
curved, ascending, second joint thickened with scales, roughly expanded towards
apex above and beneath, terminal joint shorter than second, acute. Posterior

7 to termen, Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex round-pointed, termen faintly
sinuate, cilia 1 ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 long-stalked.

Type WN, platyconta, Meyr. Having now obtained a second allied species, I
consider the characters warrant generic separation from JMJacrotona, from
which the genus is distinguished by the flatly-compressed antenn, second joint
of palpi roughened above towards apex, and terminal joint shorter than second,

Narthecoceros xylodes, n. sp.

&. 20-21 mm, Head and thorax pale greyish-ochreous sprinkled with
fuscous. Palpipale brownish-ochreous irrorated with dark fuscous, Antenrse

bands, Abdomen light ochreous, Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently
arched, apex round-pointed, termen slightly sinuate, rather strongly oblique ;
whitish-ochreous, irrorated with fuscous ; a moderate dark fuscous suffusion
along costa from before middle to apex,and dorsal half posteriorly more or
less suffused with dark fuscous irroration, space between these scmetires
forming an undefined pale streak ; stigmata undefined, dark fuscous, plical very
obliquely before first discal ; undefined cloudy dark fuscous dots along posterior
part of costa and termen: cilia fuscous with rows of ochreous-whitish points,
on termen with whitish-ochreous basal shade. Hindwings rather dark
fuscous ; cilia as in forewings, but lighter and more yellowish-tinged towards
tornus,

Three specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February and March (Pole).

Macrotona parena, n. sp,

&. 23-23mm, Head, antenne, thorax, and abdomen light brownish-ochreoug,
Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint dark fuscous except apex, terminal joint
tinged with fuscous externally. Forewings elongate, narrowed towards base,

whitish, extending on dorsum from } to beyond middle, and reaching 3 across
wing; a similar blotch extending along costa from middle to 4, and nearly
reaching to dorsum ; a fine dark fuscous terminal line, shortly continued and
stronger above apex: cilia ochreous-whitish, towards base yellowish-tinged

~ One specimen, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in October (de Mowbray),

Organitis, n. g.

Head with appressed scales; tongue developed. Antenne 4, in ¢ shortly
ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved,

Allied to Brachmia ; in neuration resembling Antiocktha, but distinguished by
the shorter antenne,

Organitis churacopa, 0. sp.

& Q. 15-17 mm. Head and thorax pale bronzy-ochreous, sometimes
fuscous-tinged, Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint fuscous except apex, An=

ochreous. Hindwings pale fuscous ; cilia whitish-ochreous,

Five specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in March, June, and July (Pole),

Brachmia, Hb.

I find it necessary to merge Torodora, Meyr. in this genus; the differences of
neuration and palpi would, if pressed, separate closely allied species; the
combined genus is natural and easily recognised, and appears to be spe-
cially characteristic of the Indo-Malayan region, where it is very extensively
developed, The two following species extend the neural characters some-
what,

grey, with basal ochreous-whitish line,

One specimen, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in May (Pole), The absence of vein 7 in
the forewings is an abnormal character, but as in all other respects the species
is normal, [ do not at present separate it generically.

Five specimens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, in February and March (Green). Larva
feeds on minute lichens and alg on stems of various trees ; at first in an hour=
glass-shaped case, but later constructs a supplementary tube extending in
a straight line in both dircetions, with lateral triangular pointed projections
disposed alternately at equal distances, all concealing valves through which
the larva can protrude its head for feeding or observation ; if disturbed at
one point, it re-appears at another: the entire case is temporarily anchored at
either end to the bark ; when food is exhausted at one spot, the strands are
severed and the case shifted to another situation: pupation in the centre,
beneath the median pad (Green). Mr. Green has forwarded specimens of
these tubes, which are most remarkable examples of ingenuity and neat con-

now several species all showing the same characters. It is distinguished from
Xylorycta by the different position of vein 2 of forewings.

Pseudodoxia sepositella, Walk,

(Gelechia sepositella, Walk. Tin, 630 ; Pseudodoxia limulus, Durr, Ent, Mo, °

Mag., 1895, 107.)

There is no doubt about this identification, which Mr. Durrant must have
accidentally overlooked. I have received a series of bred specimens from Mr.
Green, with examples of the cases ; the larval habits have been already published,

Pseudodowia cretata, n, sp.

SQ. 13-16 mm, Head, palpi, antenneg, and thorax ochreous white, second
joint of palpi externally suffused with dark fuscous except apex, Abdomen
whitish, Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed,
termen very obliquely rounded ; 8 often absent ; white, more or less sprinkled
with pale fuscous and sometimes a few dark fuscous scales; a black dot on
base of costa; a fine black dash beneath costa near base; stigmata rather
large, black, plical beneath or hardly before first discal; a series of irregular
black dots along posterior part of costa and termen: cilia white, irrorated with
fuscous, Hindwings light grey ; cilia whitish-grey.

_Four specimens (three bred), Peradeniya and Matale, Ceylon, in February,

March, and November (Green, Pole). Closely allied to P. sepositella, but’

certainly distinct by the white head and general colouring, and the position of
the plical stigma, which in P, sepositella is always obliquely before first discal,
The three bred specimens were reared by Mr. Green from larve feeding in
the same way as seposttella, and in cases of precisely the same form ; he sent
me the three cases, carefully labelled with individual numbers corresponding
to the specimens, and I see no difference in form; in both species the indi-
yidual cases vary much in colour and appearance, according to the nature of
the sand-grains and refuse employed in their construction, and one of the
cretata cases is elegantly marbled with dark grey and white,

out; the differences in neuration, darker colouring, and posterior whitish marks
in disc are also characteristic.

I find it necessary to form this new family for the reception of the three
following genera, together with Trymalitis, described in my last paper and
there referred to the Phaloniade, and also Archimaga, there referred to the
Plutellide, The family is in fact intermediate between the Phaloniade and
Epiblemide on the one hand, and the Plutellide on the other, and appears to

Sept, 20, 1906. ] Indian Micro- Lepidoptera. 415

PLUTELLIDZ,

Pyrozela, 0. &.

Head loosely haired ; tongue developed, Antenne +, in ¢ shortly ciliated,
basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi moderate, curved, ascend-
ing, with appressed scales, terminal joint shorter than second, pointed.
Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibie loosely scaled, Forewings with
1 bifurecate, 2 from near angle or 2 and 3 stalked, 7 to termen, 8 and 9 from
near 7,10 from 4, 11 widely yemote, from before middle. Eindwings 1,
elongate-ovate, cilia j-3 ; 3 and 4 connate, 5, 6, 7 parallel, 8 free,

Type P. xanthomima, Distinguished from Mieza and allied genera by
neuration of hindwings, To this genus belongs Mieza sanguinicornis, Wals,, of
which I have a good series, and also two undescribed Australian species,
~~Pyrozela wanthomima, n, sp.

& Y. 19-22 mm, Head deep yellow, sides of face crimson, collar deep
crimson, Palpi yellow, more or less suffused with crimson except towards apex,
Antenne deep crimson, basal joint yellow. Thorax deep yellow, anterior ard
lateral margins deep crimson, Abdomen whitish-ochreous, Forewings elongate,
costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen straight, oblique ; bright deep yellow,
markings deep crimson ; an irregular streak along dorsum from base to tornus,
curved upwards between middle and }so as to leave a semioval dorsal spot of
ground colour, on tornus with a short upward projection ; a thick inwardly
oblique spot from apical extremity cf costa, reaching half across wing ; besides
these, in @ costal dots at base and %, a subcostal dot before middle, an
inwardly oblique mark in disc about 3,and a discal dot at 2,in Q a suffused
streak along basai fourth of costa, another trom dorsal streak at 1 to costa
before middle, a discal spot at % connected with upward loop of dorsal streak,
and s»metimes some additional variable suffusion connecting these markings
in an irregular network: cilia yellow, more or less crimson-tinged towards
base, especially in 2, above apex and beneath tornus deep: crimson, Hind-
wings and cilia pale whitish-ochreous, in 9 somewhat crimsor-tinged towards
apex and tornus,

Seven specimens (4 ¢,3 Q), Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February, May, and
November (Pole), This andthe following species are closely allied to san-
guinicornis, and as the general markings are similar and variable, and also differ
more in the sexes than in the species, they are somewhat confusing ; the three
species are however readily separated by the colour of the hindwings,

Pyrozela erythromima, n. sp.

6 ¢. 14-18mm, Head and thorax crimson, in g suffusedly spotted with
deep yellow. Palpi yellow, sprinkled or suffused with crimson, Antenne
crimson, basal joint usually mostly yellow, Abdomen pale crimson, Fore-
wings elongate, somewhat narrowed anteriorly, costa gently arched, apex obtuse,
termen nearly straight, oblique; in ¢ bright yellow, with a network formed
by four irregular very oblique crimson fasciz (first almost dorsal, fourth not
reaching costa or termen) intersecting with a streak on basal fourth of costa

and three very inwardly oblique fascie (thus usually leaving about eleven
spots of ground colour) ; in Q with similar markings, but the whole almost
obscured by general crimson suffusion of ground colour, except that the dorsal
and subdorsal spots are lighter or sometimes clear yellow : cilia crimson. Hind-
wings crimson, thinly scaled anteriorly ; cilia crimson,

Nine specimens (5 @,4 9), Maskeliya, Ceylon, in January, March, May,
August, and October (de Mowbray, Pole), Smaller and narrower-winged than
the other two species,

Comocritis pieria, 0. sp. ;

& 2. 1419 mm, Head, palpi, and antenne white. Thorax white, with
a grey dorsal patch and posterior spot. Abdomen pale greyish-ochreous, apex
white, Posterior tibiz clothed with long fine hairs. Forewings elongate, costa
yently arched, apex and termen evenly rounded ; 7 to apex ; white ; a moderate
very undefined basal fascia of blue-grey suffusion ; a large yellow-ochreous
patch occupying posterior ? of wing except a white marginal streak, edged
with blue-grey and finely streaked with blue-grey on all veins ; cilia white,
with a blackish-grey basal line round apex and termen. Hindwings light grey ;
cilia 4, white, with a faint greyish basal line,

Eleven specimens, all bred, Neboda, Ceylon, in March and April (Green),
Larva rather flat, at first reddish, afterwards creamy=white ; constructs flat
canopies and galleries of fine silk and comminuted fragments of bark on stems
of Hevea bras liensis Para rubber) ; feeds on lichens and alge growing on stem ;
when pupating, a flattened cocoon or case, with valvular opening, is formed
in a shallow depression beneath the silken canopy (Green), From specimens
sent, however, I should suppose that the bark itself is freely used as food. A
very elegant insect, allied nearly to C. olympia, but very much smaller.

Upistomotis, n.g.

Head with appressed scales; tongue developed, Antenne 3, in ¢ shortly
ciliated, basal joint short, without pecten, Labial palpi moderately long, second
joint porrected, with long projecting triangular apical tuft of scales beneath,
terminal joint longer than second, erect, pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary,
Posterior tibisw loosely haired above, Forewings with 1 bifurcate,2 from
angle, very short, 3°6 tolerably parallel, 7 to costa, 8 absent, 11 from before
middle, Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia almost 1; 2 remote, 3 and 4 short-
stalked, 5 parallel, 6 absent.

Allied to Cerostoma, of which it is a development,

Epistomotis penessa, 0. sp,

= @. 14-20mm, Head, palpi, antennw, and thorax fuscous mixed with
white, Abdomen grey-whitish. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently
arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; brownish-ochreous or
fuscous, irrorated with white ; stigmata dark fuscous, suffused, discal more or
less distinct, plical linear, indistinct, very obliquely beyond first discal cilia whi-
tish, irrorated with brownish or fuscous. Hindwings and cilia fuscous-whitish.

Twenty-two specimens, Puttalam, Ceylon, from August to January (Pole).

TINEID&.

Opostega frigida, 0. sp.

29. 4-6 mm. Head and thorax white, Antenne whitish-grey, basal
joint white. Abdomen grey, Anterior and middle tibie also bristly. Fore-
wings lanceolate ; shining white ; a narrow triangular or almost linear blackish
mark on costa at %: cilia light ochreous-grey, greyer towards tornus, on costa
with an oblique blackish median line to apex of wing, before this white,
Hindwings and cilia grey.

Highteen specimens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, in February (Green).

Opogona lachanitis, n, sp.

&@. 11-15mm. Head, antenne, thorax and abdomen shining dark bronzy-

____fuscous, face and palpi glossy whitish-ochreous, thorax posteriorly edged with

orange suffusion ; palpi stout, truncate. Forewings elongate, costa posteriorly p. 417.
arched, apex acute, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; shining dark purplish=
bronzy-fuscous a broad suffused dull orange patch extending along dorsum from
base to beyond middle, towards extremity projecting triangularly upwards so as
nearly to touch costa : cilia rather dark bronzy-fuscous. Hindwings dark bronzy-
fuscous ; cilia rather dark bronzy-fuscous.

Twenty specimens, Puttalam and Peradeniya, Ceylon, in January, March
and from September to November (Green, Pole), Larva feeding in fungus-beds
of the common Termite (Green) ; this curious habit should be further investi«
gated. The flattened coxe and femora appear to form a protective plating
of the sternum, which is probably connected with this mode of life.

Monopis hemicitra, n, sp.

OQ. 15-20 mm, Head light ochreous-yellow, hairs in @ forming a flat
projecting ridge over palpi. Palpi dark fuscous, apex pale, terminal joint longer
in 9. Antenne pale grey. Thorax dark fuscous, Abdomen pale yellow~
ochreous, Forewings elongate, costa strongly arched, apex pointed, termen very
obliquely rounded, more strongly in ¢ ; 2 and 3 out of 4, 7and 8 longastalked
or coincident ; blackish-brown ; several blackish-leaden raised scaletufts towards
submedian fold ; a large irregular trapezoidal pale ochreous-yellow patch extend-
ing on costa from 2 to 4, narrowed downwards, with a rounded projection on
lower side reaching % across wing; discal impression large, within this patch,
not transparent : cilia blackish-brown mixed with dark slaty-leaden. Hindwings
pale bronzy-ochreous, in 9 suffused with grey ; cilia light ochreous-yellowish,

Five specimens, Puttalam, Ceylon, in November (Pole.) Very like monachella,
but abundantly distinct structurally by the different neuration (in monachella
2 is nearly or quite connate with stalk of 3 and 4, 6 and ‘7 are stalked,
8 separate), scaletufts on forewings, and facial tuft of @; the costal patch

of forewings is broaderas well as yellower, and the projection on lower side
is less developed in monachella,

DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA.
BY
EK. Meyrick, B.A., F.R.S., F.Z.S,
III.
(Continued from page 417 of this Volume.)

Besides previously mentioned contributors, I have received material
through the kindness of Major C. G. Nurse and Colonel (. Swinhoe,
and also some obtained by native collectors in the Khasi Hills, a por-
tion of which is included in the present instalment, as well as some
sent by the Calcutta Museum, mostly collected by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon.
Sixteen genera and sixty-one species are described as new.

PTEROPHORID®,
Exelastis, n. g.

Face smooth, Palpi moderate, slender, ascending, pointed, Tibiz slender,
smooth, Forewings cleft from 3—3, segments narrow, pointed, sometimes
broader in Q ; 2 from near angle,3 and 4 stalked from angle, 5 and 6 very
short, 7 from near upper angle, 8 and 10 stalked, 9 absent, 11 from near angle,
Hindwings cleft firstly from 3, secondly from near base, segments very narrow,
pointed, without scale-tooth in dorsal cilia; 2 remote, 3 and 4 stalked from
angle, 5 and 6 absent,

Type E. atomosa, Wals, To this genus I also refer liophanes, Meyr., hitherto
included in Marasmarcha,

Exelastis atomosa, Wals,

(Acipiilia atomosa, Wals., Proc, Zool. Soc, Lond, 1885, 885.)

The larva feeds in pods of Cajanus indicus, and has been bred freely by Mr,
H, Maxwell-Lefroy, In this species the forewings are deeply cleft and the
segments shorter and broader inthe @ than in the @—an unusual circumstance,

ORNEODID&,

Orneodes ochrozona, n. sp.

@ 2. 19-22 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous, sprinkled with dark
fuscous. Palpi long, whitish-ochreous, second and terminal joints each with

Eucosma attica, n. sp.
3. 18-23 mm, Head pale ochreous mixed with dark fuscous, face

blackish. Palpi ascending, pale ochreous suffused with grey, ochreous-white
towards base beneath, terminal joint very short, Thorax pale ochreous mixed
with blackish and ferruginous, Abdomen pale ochreous suffused with grey,
Posterior tibiz in @ clothed with dense long projecting hair scales above,
Forewings elongate, posteriorly considerably dilated, costa moderately arched,
apex obtuse, termen almost straight, nearly vertical ; pale ochreous mixed with
ferruginous, and irregularly strewn with leaden-grey dots ; costa with pairs of
ochreous-whitish strigule separated with black ; basal patch undefined, mixed
with blackish, sometimes with strong blackish suffusion extending to central
fascia ; central fascia moderate, suffused with blackish, its posterior edge
marked with a white discal dot, and followed except on costa by a suffused
white fascia mixed with leaden-grey on anterior half ; apical area ferruginous,
mixed with blackish anteriorly, with several short leaden-metallic marks from
costa, and astriga from costa at 3 continued along lower half of termen to
tornus : cilia leaden-grey, on upper half of termen with basal half ferruginous,
sometimes mixed with blackish, towards tornus suffused with ochreous-whitish,
Hindwings in @ with dorsal fold enclosing thin pencil of long grey hairs ;
fuscous, becoming darker posteriorly ; cilia light greyish-ochreous or grey, with
dark grey subbasal line,

Khasi Hills, from June to September ; seven specimens, I find that: Platy-
peplus, Wals,, cannot be properly maintained as a distinct genus ; the develop-
ment of brushes of scales on the posterior tibixw, especially in the @ but

sometimes in both sexes, is found ina proportion of the Indian species of
most genera in this family, and appears to have little value as a test of affinity;
I shall therefore treat it as affording specific characters only, and refer all
those species described under Platypeplus to Eucosma,

Eucosma iograpta, n, sp.

SY. 13-15mm, Head and thorax ferruginous-ochreous, thorax sometimes
mixed with dark grey, Palpi porrected, ferruginous-ochreous mixed with
dark grey, towards base beneath ochreous-whitish, Abdomen dark grey.
Posterior legs without tufts, Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa
gently arched, apex obtuse, termen almost straight, hardly oblique ; ferrugi-
nous-ochreous ; costa obscurely strigulated with blackish and grey-whitish ; a
rather oblique rounded-triangular deep ferruginous bletch on dorsum at 3,
reaching half across wing ; central fascia deep ferruginous, sometimes mixed
with black, becoming broad dorsally, posterior edge with three irregular acute
projections, preceded and followed by rather broad purplish-leaden grey
fascixw, each consisting of several subconfluent strigz ; apical area deep ferrugi-=
nous somewhat mixed with blackish, including several small purplish-leaden
marks beneath costa and an oblique striga: cilia dark purplish-grey irrorated
with whitish points, with a blackish-grey subbasal line mixed with deep
ferruginous, Hindwings rather dark fuscous, darker posteriorly ; cilia grey,
with darker subbasal line,

Khasi Hills, in June and July ; twelve specimens,

Eueusma rhodantha, n. sp.

&. 20 mm, Head and palpi yellow-ochreous, Thorax pale ochreous,
yellower anteriorly, Abdomen grey, Posterior tibiz’ clothed with dense
projecting scales above. Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently
arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, hardly oblique ; bright crimson-
rose, costa faintly darker-strigulated ; a greenish-ochreous basal patch, deep
yellow in middle of base, and with a small ochreous-brown dorsal mark near
base, outer edge rather irregular, running from before 3 of costa to beyond
middle of dorsum ; a small ochreous apical spot, edged below by a triangular
white mark ; cilia crimson-rose, with a whitish-ochreous apical patch extends

Hind wings fuscous ; cilia pale whitish-ochreous, with fuscous eub-basal line,

Sikkim (600 feet), in May ; three specimens (Dudgeon),

Melasina anasaciis, n. sp.

& 28-34 mm,, 9 50 mm. Head pale brownish-ochreous, crown scmetimes
suffused with blackish-fuscous, Palpi moderate, dark fuscous, apex whitish-
ochreous. Antenne pale ochreous, pectinations in ¢ 5, Thorax pale brown-
ish-ochreous, suffusedly mixed with dark fuscous and blackish, especially
on sides, with posterior crest, Abdomen fuscous, Forewings elongate, much
more soin Q, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen obliquely rounded ;
secondary cell very small or in 9 absent, 9 and 10 rising from it on a moderately
long stalk ; pale brownish-ochreous, irregularly sprinkled with blackish-
fuscous, in dise and towards dorsum and termen more or less suffused with
whitish in @ ; basal area more or less suffused with dark fuscous ; a fuscous
band irregularly suffused with blackish running from upper portion of basal
patch to near dorsum beyond middle, its lower edge there rather obtusely
angulated and running almost straight to apex ; a dark fuscous costal spot
beyond middle and a smaller one at 3; in 2 these markings are very obscure
and ill-defined : cilia pale whitish-ochreous mixed with fuscous, obscurely
barred with darker fuscous, Hindwings rather light fuscous; cilia light
fuscous, base whitish-ochreous,

Madulsima, Haputalte, and Peradeniya, Ceylon, from June to August, and
in February (Vaughan, Pole, Alston, Green) ; seven specimens, Differs from
M, Thwattesii (to which it is very closely allied) by different form of dark
band, which in Thwaitesii forms two obtuse angles towards dorsum ; and by
neuration of forewings, since in Thwaitesii the secondary cell is large, 9 and 10
approximately connate from its angle or in 9 short-stalked ; this is due to
the position of cross-vein, which in Thwaittesié is in a line with posterior margin
of cell, whilst in anasactis it is very much retracted towards base,

Melasina ethalea, n. sp.

6. 30-34 mm., 9 46mm, Head and palpi ochreous-yellow, in 9 some-
what mixed with dark fuscous, palpi rather short, densely scaled, in Q hairy.
Antenne in @ ochreous mottled with blackish, pectinations 6,in Q wholly
clothed with loose dark brown and black scales. Thorax and abdomen dark
brown, Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex
obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; 8 approximated, 9 and 10 short-stalked ;
in @ dark fuscous finely irrorated with whitish, in Q paler, strewn with
blackish-fuscous strigule ; a dark fuscous transverse fascia-like blotch from
middle of dorsum, reaching about half across wing; a similar blotch from
middle of costa directed towards tornus, reaching more than half across wing ;
costa posteriorly more or less spotted alternately with pale ochreous-yellowish
and dark fuscous ; two or three dark fuscous subterminal spots sometimes
united into an incomplete fascia: cilia dark fuscous, base mixed with whitish-
fuscous, Hindwings and cilia blackish-fuscous, cilia round apex and upper
half of termen pale ochreous-yellowish except at base.

Nilgiri Hills (6,000 feet), in May ; nine specimens (Andrewes).

Autosticha, Meyr.

I have recognised that this genus, based ona Hawaiian species, is identical.
with Epicenia, Meyr, and the latter name is therefore superseded. I have
described three species from Ceylon, and if I have correctly identified Gelechia
affixella, Walk., 632, and Gelechia strenuella, Walk., 632, they also belong to this
genus, but the condition ef the original types leaves some uncertainty. I now
add eleven more ; but it seems desirable to repeat that considerable care is
requisite in identifying the more obscure and similar species. The larve of
several are known, and all feed in the same way in galleries on lichens.

Autosticha aureolata, n. sp.

&. 14—15 mm. Head orange, centre of crown suffused with fuscous. Palpi.
orange-yellowish, anterior edge suffused with dark fuscous throughout. An-
tenn dark fuscous, with whorls of long cilia (3). Thorax purplish-fuscous
irrorated with dark fuscous, sides of posterior extremity yellowish. Abdomen
yellowish-fuscous, segmental margins darker fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa
gently arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, oblique ; purplish-fuscous

Argyrotoxa, Stph.

Antenne in @ minutely ciliated. Palpi moderately long, porrected, second
joint triangularly expanded with scales, terminal joint short. Forewings with
tufts of raised scales on surface, in g@ without costal fold ; 3-5 approximated,
7 to termen. Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 approximated,
6 and 7 closely approximated towards base,

Type A. bergmanniana, L. I find it desirable to reconstitute this genus
{which had been abandoned by myself and others), to include those species
which differ from Tortrix by the possession of scale-tufts on the surface of

forewings, and from Oxygrapha by the terminal ending of vein 7 ; in other
characters the species appear to be quite intermediate. To this genus the
Huropean forskuleana, L. and bifasciaxa, Hb. belong.

Argyrotora glaucomis, n. sp.

&@%. 16-18 mm. Head light ochreous. Palpi pale ochreous irrorated with
dark fuseous. Thorax greyish or brownish-ochreous, sometimes whitish-mixed.
Abdomen grey, apex whitish-ochreous. Forewings suboblong, costa strongly
arched throughout and somewhat roughened with scales posteriorly, apex
round-peinted, termen sinuate, rather oblique ; dark fuscous suffused with dull
olive-greenish, irregularly and suffusedly striated transversely with leaden-
metallic ; a large very variable oval blotch occupying basal 2 of costa and
reaching more than half across wing, dark brown, or dark indigo-fuscous, or
white more or less marked with dark fuscous, sometimes nearly obsolete, often
margined posteriorly by a small conspicuous white costal spot ; in one specimen
this white spot is extended as an irregular transverse streak to dorsum ; some-
times instead of the blotch there is a round black spot in dise about 4; a large
tuft of scales in middle of disc, and another on submedian fold beyond middle:
cilia fuscous, base ochreous-tinged. Hindwings and cilia grey.

Khasis, in June and July ; twenty-five specimens.

Argyrotoxa elearcha, n. sp.

@Q. 16-17 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-whitish, patagia whitish-
ochreous, Palpi ochreous irrorated with fuscous, internally whitish. Abdomen
grey. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa strongly arched near base, thereafter
nearly straight, apex round-pointed, termen sinuate, somewhat oblique ; dull
olive-greenish, irregularly marked and striated with glistening leaden-grey-
whitish ; a patch of leaden-grey scales mixed with blackish on base of costa,
followed by a glistening grey-whitish patch ; dorsum from } to 3 suffused with
reddish-ochreous ; several tufts of scales on dorsal half-anteriorly,a large tuft
tipped with black in disc at 3, preceded by a dark reddish-fuscous mark, and
a transverse ridge tipped with black towards apex ; tornal area mixed with
crimsou-fuscous, with a well-marked oblique silvery-whitish streak from tornus :
cilia ochreous with a suffused fuscous-crimson shade and apical patch, on
tornus grey. Hindwings and cilia grey.

Khasis ; two specimens.

Argyrotowa chionocentra, n. sp.

&- 15mm. Head, palpi, and thorax fuscous, lower part of face and palpi
internally whitish, Abdomen grey, apex whitish-ochreous. Forewings oblong,
costa much arched near base, thence almost straight, apex round-pointed,
termen sinuate, hardly oblique ; reddish-fuscous, with several irregular trans-
verse purplish-leaden glossy streaks, and between these several transverse
series of very small grey tufts tipped with black ; a small snow-white spot in
disc at 3, nearly preceded by a larger tuft, and an elongate white dot obliquely
beneath and before this : cilia reddish-fuscous, apical half whitish-ochreous on
termen except towards tornus. Hindwings ochreous-whitish, dorsal half
suffused with light grey, apex and termen narrowly suffused with darker grey,
cilia pale whilish-ochreous, with a grey shade.

Khasis, in July ; one specimen.

Eboda obstinata, n. sp.

@. 13-14 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-fuscous sprinkled with blackish
Palpi brownish-ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous. Abdomen grey. Fore-
wings elongate-cblong, costa abruptly arched near base, thence nearly straight,
apex rounded-obtuse, termen slightly rounded, somewhat oblique ; brownish-
ochreous ; markings deep ferruginous suffusedly mixed with dark fuscous and

obsolete dorsally, sometimes extended as a broad dark fuscous dorsal suffusion
to coalesce with central fascia ; central fascia moderately broad, broadly con-
fluent in middle with large suffused costal patch ; a black and ferruginous
striga extends from costal patch to tornus, and another round apex and upper
part of termen: cilia whitish-ochreous. Hindwings fuscous ; cilia whitish-
ochreous with a fuscous shade.

Puttalam, Ceylon, in November (Pole) ; two specimens. Vein 7 of forewings
terminates about the apex, but both in this species and smaragdinana the apex
is so obtusely rounded off as not to be exactly definable, therefore the termina-
tion of 7 should be treated as indefinite.

Oxygrapha rapax, n. sp.

SQ. 17-19 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax fuscous. Abdomen grey. Fore-
wings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex pointed, termen sinuate,
oblique, fuscous mixed with whitish-fuscous, and transversely striated with
ferruginous mixed with dark fuscous and blackish ; a basal patch especially
mixed with blackish, extending to } of wing, marked with a pale yellowish dot
towards costa near base,and a large ridge of scales on its outer edge: cilia
fuscous. Hindwings very elongate-trapezoidal, fuscous ; cilia fuscous.

Maskeliya and Maturatta, Ceylon, in June, September and October (Pole,
de Mowbray) ; three specimens. The narrowest-winged species of the genus

Hermogenes, Zell.

I am now disposed to treat Epichostis, Meyr. as a synonym of this genus, which
was founded by Zeller on one Indian species, aléferella, To this genus is also
referable the species described by me as Chaliniastis metrodelta. I now add
eight additional species. The most important variations of structure are that
vein 7 of forewings may terminate in costa, apex, or termen, but usually close
to the apex, which tends to be indefinite in position, and that veins 7 and 9
are sometimes stalked, as in Zeller’s figure, but are much more usually separate;
in all the species, including aliferella, they appear to be normally separate, though
not invariably, with the exception of melanocona, in which they are usually but

[18]

628 Journ,, Bom, Nat. Hist. Soc,, Vol. XVIIT,, No.3. [July 15, 1908,

not constantly stalked. The rough hairscales on the anterior tibie and tarsi
and the posterior tarsi of aliferella, are not found in the other species, but do
not seem to justify generic separation.

Llermogenes leucorma, Nn. sp.

OQ. 20-22 mm. Head and thorax rather dark brown, Palpi whitish-
ochreous, second joint with lower # and a subapical ring brown, terminal joint
with base and anterior edge dark fuscous. Antenne pale ochreous more or
less mixed with fuscous. Abdomen fuscous, anal tuft yellowish. Forewings
elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse,
termen nearly straight, somewhat oblique; 7 to apex ; rather dark ochreous-
brown ; stigmata dark fuscous, first sometimes connected with dorsum by an
undefined oblique triangular patch of dark fuscous suffusion ; a few whitish scales
towards costa and dorsum about middle ; a subterminal series of seven cloudy
white marks, central and dorsal rather elongated inwards, and a terminal series
of six similar marks: cilia pale ochreous, with two rather indistinct fuscous
shades. Hindwings grey or dark grey ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous becoming
grey towards dorsum, with a dark grey subbasal shade.

Khasis, in July ; four specimens.

with reddish, basal third dark grey. Hindwings fuscous, sometimes ochreous-
tinged, darker towards apex ; cilia whitish-fuscous.

Palni Hills (Campbell) ; Khasis, in June ; seven specimens. I have also four
specimens from Maturatta, Peradeniya, Maskeliya and Haputale, Ceylon, in
February, and from June to September (Pole, Green, Alston), which are
probably the same species, but differ in being usually darker-coloured, forewings
sometimes dark fuscous with slight purplish tinge, hindwings dark fuscous,
sometimes with coppery tinge, head, palpi, and part of costa and cilia of fore-
wings more or less conspicuously yellowish-tinged. I do not find any reliable
distinction, /
olanthes Meyr. © 1 J. Kil 739)

Vein 9 of forewings is sometimes stalked with 7; this character occurs
exceptionally in callidora, but is normal in some of the following species. In
hindwings 6 and 7 are sometimes approximated only.

Aiolanthes dicrewa, n. sp.

$+ 20-22 mm. Head and thorax whitish-yellowish mixed with ferruginous-
ochreous. Palpi yellow-whitish, second joint except apex, and a median band
of terminal joint ferruginous-yellow irrorated with dark fuscous. Antenne and
abdomen whitish-ochreous. Forewings suboblong, costa anteriorly moderately,
posteriorly slightly arched, roughened with projecting scales before middle,
apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, rather oblique ; 8 and 9 out of 7;
white, towards costa irregularly suffused with pale yellowish ; basal third of
costa ferruginous-yellow ; a ferruginous subcostal dash before middle ; an
elongate patch of yellow suffusion in middle of disc ; a reddish-brown dorsal
patch extending from base to near tornus, and reaching nearly half across wing,
_ containing a triangular dark reddish-brown dorsal spot at 3, partially whitish-
edged ; a ferruginous-yellow suffusion along posterior half of costa, with a
black mark beneath it near apex ; veins 5 and 6 marked with reddish-brown
lines becoming blackish posteriorly, vein 4 less distinctly lined with brownish :
between veins 5-7 two light ferruginous-brown streaks, sometimes partially
yellowish-suffused, between 4 and 5 a yellowish streak, and on tornus a deep
yellow elongate patch ; a fine blackish line along termen : cilia whitish-yellow-
ish, on costa yellow-ferruginous. Hindwings grey, apex sometimes suffused
with whitish-yellowish ; cilia whitish-yellowish, suffused with light grey except
round apex.

Khasis, in November and April , two specimens.

Aolanthes siphonias, n. sp.

OY. 22-29 mm. Head and thorax pale ochreous mixed with brownish,
face whitish. Palpi whitish, second joint except apex, and a median band of
terminal joint yellowish, irrorated with ferruginous-brown, Antenne whiiish-
ochreous. Abdomen whitish-yellowish, in Q greyish-suffused. Forewings
formed as in dicraa ; 8 and 9 out of 7 ; whitish ; a fine oblique ferruginous
line from 3 of costa to upper margin of cell; a ferruginous line beneath

fine ferruginous-brown lines ; a ferruginous-brown patch along dorsum from
base, terminating in a triangular spot before tornus, of which first half is dark
ferruginous-brown edged anteriorly with whitish and posteriorly with black
second half dark fuscous; a fine blackish terminal line: cilia yellow-
whitish, sometimes with one or two faint ferruginous lines. Hindwings in ¢
pale ochreous-yellowish, dorsal half suffused with pale greyish, in Q light

Simla, in July ; nive specimens. A @ from Koni, Burma, in October
(Manders), has base of forewings tinged with bright ferruginous, disc yellowish-
tinged, subcostal ferruginous line obsolete, posterior margin of cell marked with
a curved dark ferruginous mark enclosing a fine white lunule, and followed by an
ovate pale yellow spot indistinctly edged posteriorly with ferruginous whence the
dark veins originate, hindwings yellower and greyish towards base only, abdomen
yellower ; it seems to be certainly only a local form of the same species.

Eolanthes lychnidias, n. sp.

@. 22mm. Head and thorax pale ochreous, somewhat mixed with dark
fuscous. Palpi rosy-whitish, second joint mixed with dark fuscous, terminal

trapezoidal patch of whitish and black irroration, of which one angle rests on
costa beyond middle and one projects strongly towards apex ; apical area
beyond this ferruginous-brown, including a white apical spot produced along
termen, its anterior edge rosy-tinged ; a tornal patch of ground-colour partially
tinged with pale rosy: cilia whitish-yellowish, basal half on termen rosy-

Through an oversight in my last paper a species was described under the
name of pulverea as belonging to the genus Blastebasis ; it is really referable to
the genus Hypatima, like the species which follows it.

DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA
BY
BE. MEyYRICK, B.A. F.RS,, F.Z.8,
Vie.
(Continued from page 638 of this Volume.)
HLACHISTIDA, See BT xIs

I have now satisfied myself that the family Hlachistide as hitherto under-
stood is heterogeneous in origin, and propose to restrict it to those forms
which have long recurved sickle-shaped palpi, similar to those of the Gelechiade
and Cécophoride, to which they are really akin. The following genus is
particularly interesting as furnishing, in my judgment, a good connecting
link between the Cécophoride and Elaschistide, though properly referable
to the latter family.

Promalactis, n. g.

Head with appressed scales; tongue developed. Antenne 3, in ¢ mode-
rately (1) strongly (4) ciliated, basal joint elongate, with fugitive pecten,
Labial palpi long or very long, recurved, second joint beneath with tolerably
appressed or rather rough scales, terminal joint nearly or quite as long as
second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary, Posterior tibie clothed
with hairs above. Forewings with 1b shortly furcate,7 and 8 stalked, 7 to
costa, 11 from middle of cell. Hindwings under 1, elongate-lanceolate or
sometimes linear-lanceolate, cilia 2-4; 2-7 separate, 3 considerably before
angle of cell, 6 and 7 somewhat divergent, or rarely 6 absent (théastlis).

Type P, holozona. To this genus belong also isopselia, Meyr., and semantris,
Meyr., wrongly attributed to Epicallima, and I now describe twelve other
species. They are handsome insects, orange with white or metallic markings.

Promalactis cullimetalla, n. sp.

Q. 13mm. Head dark shining bronze. Palpi very long, orange yellow,

terminal joint black, tip whitish, Antenne black ringed with white, apical

fourth white except extreme tip. Thorax shining yellow, Abdomen dark
fuscous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex
obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; bright deep yellow; five bright
violet-golden-metallic narrow fasciz edged with black, first basal, second at 1,
dilated towards costa, third median, approximated and connected with second!
on dorsum, space between these deep orange except towards costa, fourth
from 4 of costa to before tornus, irregular, connected in middle with third by
a slender blackish bar, above which the space between them is deep orange
except towards costa, fifth terminal, broadest towards apex, space between
this and fourth deep orange on tornus: cilia pale orange, base deep orange,
above terminal fascia and on tornus grey. Hindwings lanceolate, grey irrora-
ted with dark fuscous, appearing dark grey ; cilia dark grey..

~ Palni hills (Campbell) ; one specimen.

Promalactis thiasttis, n, sp.

&2. 8—9 mm. Head and thorax bronzy-ochreous-oranve, forehead
broadly white. Palpi moderately long, ochreous, second joint black towards:
apex, terminal joint white with black apical band. Antenne white ringed with
dark fuscons, ciliations in g 1. Abdomen grey, anal tuft whitish-ochreous.
Forewings elongate-lanceolate ; ochreous-orange ; markings white, edged with
scattered black scales;a slender almost basakoblique transverse streak ; a-
narrow streak from beneath costa at 4 to dorsum before middle; a rather
Harrow somewhat angulated fascia at 2, interrapted in middle;a moderate
apical spot: cilia ochreous tinged with grey, greyer towards tornus, with
scattered black specks. Hindwings with vein 6 absent, cilia 4; grey with a
slight brassy tinge, thinly scaled and pellucid towards base’; cilia light.
grey.

N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; Madulsima, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher); in
May and June, four specimens. This species may ultimately require generi¢
separation on the neuration of hindwnigs, but as it is otherwise nearly allied
to the rest, I do not think it necessary at present.

Promatactis synclina, n, sp.

6¢@- 9—10 mm. Head bronzy, face pale shining bronze, forehead broadly’
white. Palpilong, deep ochreous, terminal joint white mixed with black.
Antenne white ringed with black, ciliationsin g@ 1. Thorax deep yellow-
ochreous. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched,
apex pointed, termen extremely obliquely roanded ; light shining orange,
basal area up to first line deep yellow-ochreous'; a moderate white line from
4 of costa to beyond middle of dorsum, edged anteriorly with black irroration ;
a fascia of black irroration from 3 of costa to tornus, triangularly dilated dor-

sally, followed on costa by a smalf white spot ; an apical patch of black irrora-
tion ; cilia yellow, towards base sprinkled with black, on tornus grey. Hind-
wings grey, thinly scaled at base ; cilia grey,

GRACILARIAD&,

In a recent paper (Proc, Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales,1907, pp. 47—68) I recast
the classification of Gracilaria and its immediate allies, and I new give an
arrangement of the Indian species on the same system,

Lithocolletis triarcha, n. sp.

Q. 5 mm. Head bronzy-ochreous mixed with white, face white. Palpz
white ; maxillary palpi minute, distinct, porrected. Antenne whitish spotted
with dark grey. Thorax bronzy-ochreous, with a rather broad white median

irrorated with black towards base, towards tornus pale grey. Hindwings pale
grey ; cilia whitish-grey.

Pusa, Bengal; one specimen, bred in August from cotton (Gossypium)
(Maxwell Lefroy.)

Epicephala, Meyr.

The rough head is not always a well-marked character, the hairs of the crown
being sometimes loosely appressed. The straight palpi are a good character, in
all species except fiagellata, in which they are somewhat curved. The species
are closely allied and often similar.

Epicephaia chalybacma, 0. sp.

g. 9mm. Head ochreous-whitish mixed with grey. Palpi whitish, second
joint externally with a dark fuscous median longitudinal line. Antenna
whitish-grey. Thorax grey. Abdomen dark grey, beneath ochreous- whitish
with lateral series of oblique dark fuscous lines. Legs ochreous-whitish,
anterior and middle pairs longitudinally lined with blackish, posterior tarsi
obliquely banded with dark fuscous. Forewings very narrowly elongate, short-
pointed, apex obtuse ; grey, veins more or less distinctly marked with fine black
sines ; two indistinct oblique lines of dark fuscous scales from costa at } and ¢
and a slender very oblique streak from tornus indicated by blackish margins ;
a rather oblique transverse bluish-silvery-metallic line near before apex, edged
with dark fuscous ; blackish anteapical and apical spots on costa beyond this:

H). Meyrick, B.A., F.R.S., F.Z.8.
IX.
(Continued from page 832 of Volume XVIII.)
CosMOPTERYGIDA,

I have now broken up the family Hlachistide as formerly constituted, and
the family Cosmopterygide includes those genera with long sickle-shaped palpi
and veins 7 and 8 of the forewings stalked, 7 terminating in costa, such as
Cosmopteryx, Stagmatophora, and Limnecia; in my last paper I termed this
restricted group Llachistide, but now find that Elachista is referable elsewhere.

Zaratha Walk.

A genus of a few tropical species, having the antennz much longer than
forewings.

Zaratha prosarista, n. sp.

¢@. 16-i8mm. Head grey with indigo-blue reflections, face bluish-silvery-
white. Palpi whitish, anterior edge of terminal joint dark fuscous. Antenne
dark fuscous, becoming yellowish on sides and whitish beneath, Thorax dark
grey, shoulders suffused with ochreous, beneath pearly white. Abdomen
bronzy-ochreous, suffusedly irrorated with dark fuscous, beneath white, anal
tuft ochreous, on sides white. Forewings linear, acute ; dark fuscous, slightly
purplish-tinged ; a white streak along costa from base to 4, sufiused with
yellowish towards base, leaving extreme costal edge dark fuscous towards base ;
lower edge of this streak at 4 with a projection followed by an indentation
and almost confluent with a suffused yellow-whitish spot on dorsum rather

Khasis, from October to March ; nine specimens,

Zuaratha dicellias, n. sp.

Q. 20-21 mm. Head prismatic bronzy-fuscous, sides of crown light ochre-
oussyellow. Palpi ochreous-yellowish, anterior edge of terminal joint dark
fuscous. Antenne fuscous, beneath yellowish, Thorax dark bronzy-fuscous.
with an ochreous-yellowish stripe on each side of back, beneath pearly white.
Abdomen rather dark fuscous, beneath whitish-irrorated, and with broad
whitish segmental bands, Forewings linear, acute; dark fuscous, slightly
purplish-tinged ; a light ochreous-yellowish streak along fold from base to
middle, thence sinuate upwards, becoming thicker and proceeding close beneath
costa toapex, from its lower edge beyond middle sending an equally thick
branch to middle of termen, slenderly connected with upper braneh on termen;
between the two branches is a fine silvery-blue-metallic line: cilia dark fuscous
tinged with purplish, on costa yellowish at base. Hindwings dark fuscous,
obscurely subhyaline towards base in and beneath cell ; cilia dark fuscous.

Khasis, in August ; two specimens,

Cosmopteryx, Hb.

The species of this genus, notwithstanding their distinct and beautiful colour.
ing, are very closely allied together, and require careful observation to perceive
their distinctive characters, Twenty species are here recorded and to assist
determination a tabulation of these is given ; but it must be remembered that
other closely allied forms doubtless exist; the only other Indian species
described is asiatica Stt.,which Ihave not included as I do not yet possess e
specimen, though I have examined the type and consider it distinct from alk
these ; the two other species doubtfully referred by Stainton to Cosmopteryx.do
not belong to the genus.

metallic fascia, and posteriorly by two vertical-transverse violet-golden-metallic
spots edged anteriorly by a few black scales, lower wholly anterior and not
meeting upper if produced, the fuscous-orange colour projecting beneath but
not beyond upper ; a fine silvery-metallic dash midway between this and apex,
and a short shining white line in apical cilia marked also on under surface :
cilia otherwise dark fuscous, with a white costal spot on posterior margin of
band. Hindwings and cilia dark grey.

N. Coorg, 3,500 feet, in February (Newcome); one specimen, This is the
species which seems to approach nearest to asiatica Stt., from which however
it is separated by the peculiar fuscous-orange band, and the metallic anteapical
line not running into the apex ; the arrangement of the metallic lines in the
basal area is also characteristic.

caudate ; blackish ; dorsal edge white towards base; a short fine oblique
white subcostal line before }, and very short fine white median and subdorsal
dashes beneath its posterior extremity ; a broad orange transverse postmedian
band, margined anteriorly by an almost vertical violet-golden-metallic fascia

metallic slightly oblique spots, edged anteriorly with a few black scales, lower
considerably anterior but placed so that it would touch upper if produced,
orange colour projecting between but not beyond these; a short snow-white
line in apical cilia, marked also on undersurface: cilia dark fuscous, with a
white costal spot on posterior edge of band. Hindwings and cilia dark
fuscous.

N. Coorg, 3,500 feet, in October and November (Newcome) ; two specimens,
Distinguished by the entire absence of the apical line, except in cilia.

Cosmopleryx catharacma, Nn. sp.

2@. 78mm. Head dark shining bronze, crown with three fine white
lines, face pale bronzy. Palpi white lined with black, Antenna blackish,
dotted and towards base lined with white, four apical joints white, then five
blackish, one white, one blackish, one white. Thorax dark shining bronze,

equal length ; a broad yellow transverse band slightly beyond middle, anterior
edge marked with two round golden-metallic spots, upper followed by a black
dot, lower slightly posterior, band edged posteriorly by a golden-metallic
transverse line, interrupted in middle, beyond which however a triangular
yellow projection extends and is continued as a strong white sinuate line to
apex: cilia whitish-ochreous tinged with fuscous. Hindwings grey ; cilia
whitish-ochreous tinged with fuscous.

Khasis, in September ; four specimens.

white. Palpi white, extreme apex of second joint grey, terminal joint with
two fine indistinct grey rings. Antenne ochreous-whitish, beneath dotted with
dark fuscous. Thorax light fuscous, with margins of patagia and a dorsal line
white. Abdomen light ochreous-yellowish, towards apex white, on sides
marked with blackish, beneath white. Posterior legs white banded with pale
greyish-ochreous, tibizw with very large expanded brush of light crimson-
rosy scales mixed with dark fuscous. Forewings very narrowly lanceolate,
widest near base and gradually narrowed to acute apex ; fuscous suffused with
dull crimson ; a narrow very oblique white facia beyond middle, and a trans-
verse rather inwards-oblique white line near apex, space between these pale
brownish faintly tinged with crimson, in disc at 3 with two or \three dark fus-
cous scales surrounded by indistinct white suffusion ; apical area darker fus-
cous, with a white apical dot ; cilia pale brownish, with some scattered black
points near base, at apex with a dark fuscous median line followed by a
whitish spot. Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia pale ochreous.

Ohiya, Ceylon, 6,000 feet, in August (Fletcher) ; one specimen,

ETHMIADAE.

I accept the suggestion of Mr, A. Busck that this is a good and distinct
family, separable from its nearest allies by the origin of vein 5 of hindwings,
which is associated in direction with 6 and 7 instead of with 3 and 4. The
two following genera are certainly referable to it, they differ from Echmia
in haying 7 and 8 of forewings separate, but agree in all essential characters.

Aetherastis, n. g,

Head with appressed scales ; ocelli small; tongue developed. Antenne
8, basal joint large, with strong pecten of dense scales, Labial palpi mode-
rate, ascending, slender, second joint loosely scaled, terminal joint shorter
than second, pointed, Maxillery palpi very short, loosely scaled, appressed
to tongue. Posterior tibise clothed with long rough hairs. Forewings with
2 from §,3 and 4 long-stalked, 5 approximated, 7 to costa, 10 from near
end of cell, 11 absent, Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 4 ; 3 and: 4 stalked,
5-7 somewhat approximated towards base.

Allied to Comoeritis, from which it differs by the stalking of 3 and 4 of
forewings, and absence of vein 11,

dorsum before tornus : cilia dark fuscous, with a few whitish specks. Hind-
wings blackish fuscous ; an ochreous yellow streak beneath vein 1b. from
base to beyond middle ; an elongate ochreous yellow blotch in disc above
middle, extending from + to 3 ; cilia pale yellowish with a blackish basal line,
at apex suffused with dark fuscous.

Khasis, in October ; one specimen. This distinct species differs from the
rest of the genus in the stalking of veins 6 and 7 of forewings, but is so
obviously allied in all other characters that it is unnecessary to separate it
generically ; moreover in one example of P. chionardis these two veins are
connected in middle in one wing, showing variability in this direction.

Phycodes chionardis, n. sp.

&@Q. 17-18mm, Head dark shining bronzy fuscous with violet reflections,
sollar and posterbital scales white. Palpi white, terminal joint minute,

“black. Antenne dark fuscous. Thorax dark fuscous, scales finely edged

with whitish. Abdomen blackish, segmental margins white, beneath much
more broadly. Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa slightly arched,
apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, somewhat oblique; dark purplish
fuscous, finely irrorated with white; the coalescence of this irroration
seems to form three undefined transverse lines before middle separated by
dark lines, and there is a rather large undefined dark costal spot beyond
these: cilia deep coppery-purplish. Hindwings blackish fuscous; a narrow
white median streak from rather near base to middle, hairs of 1b white ; cilia
white, witha blackish fuscous basal line, round apex tinged with coppery-
purplish.

Polgahawela and Rambukkana, Ceylon, in May and June (Alston) ; one
specimen,
| Phycodes chalcocrossa, n. sp.

9. 20 mm, Head bright brassy-metallic, back of crown and a line
between antennw dark fuscous, collar whitish. Palpi white, terminal joint
very short, black. Antenne blackish. Thorax fuscous, all scales margined
and some centred with whitish. Abdomen fuscous, segmental margins
white, beneath much more broadly. Forewings elongate, posteriorly
dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded,
somewhat oblique; dark purplish fuscous, on basal area with all scales
edged and some streaked with whitish, elsewhere very densely irrorated
with whitish, on median area forming fine transverse strise ; a slender dark
fuscous transverse fascia at 2, only minutely speckled with whitish ; two
very small dark fuscous spots on costa beyond this, and several more or
less marked minute dark strigule before and between these markings:
cilia bright coppery-bronze, above apex whitish. Hindwings blackish-fuscous ;
a cloudy median streak of whitish suffusion extending from near base to
middle ; hairs of 1b whitish ; cilia fuscous with a dark fuscous basalline, outer
half white except round apex.

Arabia ; three specimens received from Standinger and Bang-Haas, by

ALF
£25" Journ,, Bom, Nat. Hist, Soc., Vol, XIX,, No.2: [August 15, 1909:

whom the: species has been distributed erroneously as, minor- Moore, and
recorded as such in Standinger’s European Catalogue ; it is quite distinct from.
minor by the larger size, bright coppery cilia, white streak in hindwings, bright
brassy head, and other characters ; hence I thought it best to stop the con-
fusion by describing it here, as it may very possibly be found to oceur in.
India also.

Phycodes cymineuta, n. sp.

@.15 mm, Head and thorax blackish finely irrorated with. whitish, face
metallic blue-greenish, Palpi white, terminal joint short, black. Antenne
blackish. Abdomen;dark grey, beneath. white. Foresvings elongate, posteriorly

“dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, somewhat
oblique; dark purplish-fuscous, finely irrorated with white specks, which on
anterior half are combined into fine white transverse strize; the absence of
these stri# produces a slender dark transverse fascia at 7, four undefined dark
dots on costa before this and, one beyond it; terminal area with .purplish-
coppery reflections: cilia fuscous, slightly coppery-tinged, with a few whitish
speoks near base. Hindwings blackish-fuscous, somewhat lighter towards
base ; cilia white with a blackish basal line, at apex with a fuscous patch.

Haputale, Ceylon, in June (Alston) ; one specimen.

blackish. Forewings elongate, moderate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently
arched, apex rounded, termen: rounded, little oblique ; 7 and 8 stalked ; dark
purplish-fuscous ; a narrow irregular orange basal fascia enclosing two small
dark fuscous spots; from this fascia rise seven longitudinal yellow-whitish lines
on veins and dorsum, reaching mostly to about middle ; an oblique transverse
rather narrow ochreous-white blotch in disc beyond middle: cilia dark fuscous,
Hindwings dark fuscous ; a slight orange median, dash near base ; an orange
subdorsal streak from near base to.beyond middle ; cilia dark fuscous, with a
white apical patch.

August 15, 1902] Descriptions of Indian Micro Lepidoptera. 4

Patipola, Ceylon, in April (Alston); one specimen, Allied to some Austra-

lian and New Zealand forms,
MICROPTERYGIDAs.

The interesting species described below is the first member of this
primitive family recorded from the Indian region (for Walker’s Micropterys«
acutipennis and M. unicella have no real connection with the family, being
normal Tineidw), but since the family is characteristic of Europe and New
Zealand, I have little doubt that it has been overlooked in India, and will be

found to be fairly represented. The species are usually small (the one described

below is the largest. known), very difficult to see on the wing, and liable to be
mistaken for Trichoptera (caddis flies), to which in fact they are nearly
related, They should be looked for probably in damp but open forests of
Conifers at high elevations, especially in the spring.

Neopseustig, n. g.

Head with short loose hairs; ocelli present ; tongue short. Antenne 3
filiform, with appressed hairscales, basal joint moderate. Tabial palpi moderate,
porrected, filiform, with appressed scales, Maxillary palpi long, several-jointed
filiform, folded. Abdomen stout, swollen posteriorly. Posterior tibiee with
appressed scales, spurs short. Forewings clothed with hairs, but with scattered
scales on anterior half; 16 connected with lower margin of cell by bar towards
base, le weak, appearing to rise from upper end of this bar, parting-vein
connected with lower margin of cell by bar towards base (besides the bar
forming posterior wall of cell), 2 and 3 stalked from angle of cell, 4 rising
from parting-vein, which itself forms cell-wall for a considerable distance
beyond the second bar, 5 and 6 stalked from angle made by parting vein, with
bar above it, 7 and 8 stalked from upper angle of cell, 7 to apex, 9 out of staik
of 7 and 8 near base, 10 absent, 11 from rather beyond middle of cell, 12
connected with costa by a bar in middle, Hindwings more rounded than fore-
wings posteriorly, clothed with hairs: 1b connected with le by bar near base,
posterior cell-wall normal in form, 2 remote, 3 from angle, 4 from above angle,
5 and 6 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked from upper angle, 9 out of stalk of 7 and 8
near base, 10 absent, 11 from 4% of cell, 12 simple.

Slightly more specialised than the European Eriscrania, to which it is most
related,

Neopseustis calliglauca, 0, sp.

&. 20mm, Head pale ochreous, with some dark fuscous hairs, Labial
palpi and antenne light fuscous. Maxillary palpi pale ochreous. Thorax pale
brownish-ochreous, with some silvery-white scales, Abdomen light yellow-
ochreous, appearing broad and subtruncate posteriorly, with upper and lower
lips, upper with sexual organs strongly depressed, lower short, Forewings
subovate, moderately broad, costa strongly arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded
rather strongly oblique ; whitish ; a fuscous patch covering anterior portion of
wing and éxtending on costa to near middle and on dorsum to near tornus
irregularly marked with blackish-fuscous transverse spots or bars between veins

and thinly strewn with fine scattered violet-silvery-white scales, its outer edge
irregular and prominent above middle ; small brownish-ochreous spots on
dorsum at 2 and tornus ; posterior area of wing strongly tinged with purple on
lower half, and with pale green between this and costal area ; at oblique irreg-
ular spot on costa at 2,an elongate mark along apical fourth of costa, a large
spot on termen beneath apex, and a smaller one below it light fuscous: (cilia
defective.) Hindwings light prismatic-grey, posteriorly strongly purple tinged :
cilia whitish-grey (defective).

__Khasis, in October ; one specimen, taken by a native collector, It is an
insect of curious appearance, somewhat recalling small <Arctiade of the
Nudaria or Chamaita type.

Synonymic Correction.

Argyroploce mosaica, Low. Trans. Roy. Soc, 8, Austr,, XXV, 72,

This supersedes c/ydonias, Meyr., Journ. Bomb, N. H, Soc., XVH, 734 ;
Mr, Lower has recently sent me the type for inspection ; described from
Queensland as type of a supposed new genus Temnolopha.

Argyroploce poetica, n. nom.

I propose this name for the species described as mosaica, Meyr., Journ. Bomb,
N. H. Soc., XVIII, 139, which in consequence of the above change finds its
name preoccupied,

Maskeliya, Ceylon, in June and October (Pole) ; three specimens.

Bactra, Stph,

The species of this genus present considerable difficulties, being similar and
variable, and close study is necessary to discriminate them. Ten are described
here, but I do not find that any Indian specimens can be referred to the
European lanceolana, Hb., or the African siccella, Walk, The form of wing and
length of palpi are the most reliable characters, and must be carefully observed,
but although the markings are usually vague and inconstant, they do notwith-
standing present a distinct type in each species, In addition to those described
I possess others of which the material is insufficient for description ; and I
shall be glad if collectors will pay attention to these obscure insects, and when
possible collect good series of them from the same locality, to show the range
of variation ; any particulars of habit would also be useful, Possibly all may
feed on species of rush (Juncus).

Bactra federata, 0, sp.

pointed, termen sinuate, rather oblique ; whitish-ochreous with scattered fus-
cous and blackish scales tending to form undefined strigule ; costa marked
throughout with short oblique ochreous strigule irrorated with blackish ; an
irregular spot of deep ochreous suffusion in disc at 3, anda small blackish
spot in disc beyond 3 connected by a whitish streak, whose apex is bent up
above second spot ; an elongate-triangular patch of ochreous-brown suffusion,
more or less irrorated with dark fuscous, extending along costa from before
middle to about 4 ; a fine black terminal line not reaching apex or tornus : cilia
whitish-ochreous. Hindwings and cilia whitish.

reaching apex or tornus ; cilia pale ochreous, on termen infuscated towards
tips. Hindwings pale whitish-fuscous ; cilia whitish-ochreous.

Maskeliya and Kelawewa, Ceylon, in May, July, September, and January
(Pole, Alston) ; four specimens. Very like the preceding, but with shorter
palpi, narrower forewings with costa less arched, discal streak terminated be-
tween two dots instead of above a spot, the striga before termen, and hind-
wings tinged with fuscous. These two species are quite distinct in appearance
from all those which follow.

Bactra metriacma, 0. sp.

@@. 16-19mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous. Palpi 3-32, ochre-
ous-whitish, with broad oblique band of fuscous suffusion. Abdomen grey,
Forewings elongate, rather narrow, posteriorly hardly dilated, costa gently
arched, apex tolerably pointed, termen slightly sinuate, rather strongly oblique ;
light brownish-ochreous, posteriorly ferruginous-tinged, more or less irregularly
sprinkled with dark fuscous ; costa marked throughout with short strigule of
_blackish irroration, alternating with indistinct longer oblique whitish strigule _
mixed with leaden-grey sa rather ill-defined white longitudinal streak above
middle from base to apex, cut posteriorly by two or three dark veins, edged
above by a suffused streak of black irroration towards base, and beneath by a
short blackish streak in disc towards middle, terminated by a white projecting
tooth from lower edge on transverse vein, and by a line of black irroration
between this and apex ; beyond cell some dark lines on veins, and more or less
whitish suffusion between veins posteriorly ; dorsum dotted or marked with
blackish : cilia light brownish-ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous, with rows
of whitish points. Hindwings grey ; cilia grey-whitish, with grey subbasal line,

Maskeliya, Ceylon, from August to November (Green, Pole); seven speci-
mens. At first sight much like phenacistis, but paler and more ochreous, and
readily distinguished by the longer palpi, more pointed forewings, and
more oblique termen.

Bactra copidotis, n. sp.

&Q. 16-20 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous tinged with brownish,
Palpi 23, whitish-ochreous, more or less infuscated towards middle, base white
beneath. Abdomen pale greyish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow,
especially in Q, hardly dilated, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, termen
sinuate, oblique; ferruginous-ochreous ; costa with numerous indistinct
ochreous-whitish oblique strigule, alternating with short strigule of blackish
irroration ; a very undefied streak of ochreous-whitish suffusion above middle
from base to apex, cut by two or three dark veins posteriorly edged beneath
throughout with broad more or less marked suffusion of dark fuscous
irroration ; veins posteriorly beneath this more or less suffused with
dark fuscous ; dorsum dotted with dark fuscous : cilia ferruginous-ochreous
suffusedly irrorated with dark fuscous, and sprinkled with whitish, above apex
and on costa white. Hindwings in @ grey, in Q whitish-grey ; cilia

grey-whitish with two grey lines,

HBS Journ, Bom. Nat, Hist. Soe,, Vol. XEX,, No.3, [November 15,1909.

‘Gampola, Puttalam, and Maskeliya, Ceylon, in October, November and Feb-
ruary (Pole, Green) ; Palni Hills, 6,000 feet (Campbell) ; five specimens. This
species has the termen of forewings more distinctly sinuate than any other
described, but only moderately oblique,

Bactra leucogama, n. sp.

-& Q. 13-15 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax whitish-ochreous ; palpi 2. Abdo-
men ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, hardly dilated, costa
gently arched, apex obtuse, termen almost straight, oblique ; whitish-ochreous,
mixed with silvery-metallic suffusion, which tends to form irregular transverse
strige ; costa marked with short deep ochreous strigule irrorated with blaek-
ish, and about seven longer deep ochreous strigule ; deep ochreous markings
as follows, véz.,a spot on suffusion in disc towards base, a transverse spot in
disc at 4, an irregular or interrupted fascia on -dorsal 4 beyond middle, com-
bined in-middle with an irregular sinuate streak running to apex, an oblique
triangular pretornal spot, and a slender streak along termen ; dorsum with
minute dots of blackish irroration : cilia whitish-ochreous mixed with deeper
ochreous. Hindwings in @ pale grey, in Q whitish ; cilia whitish in @ with
faint grey subbasal line.

Puttalam, Ceylon, in February and August (Pole) ; four specimens. Recog-
nisable by the pale ochreous colouring, distinct deeper ochreous markings,
termen of forewings not sinuate, and white hindwings of Q (in.@ paler grey
than usual) ; but I have another apparently distinct undescribed species, in
which the Q has.also white hindwings.

_Bactra honesta, n. sp.

& Q. 14-16 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi 2, whitish, with broad
median fuscous band. Thorax pale ochreous. Abdomen greyish, Forewings
elongate, hardly dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched, apex tolerably
pointed, termen rather sinuate, oblique ; pale ochreous, more or less tinged
with ferruginous-brownish, especially towards disc beyond middle, with a few
scattered dark fuscous scales ; costa marked with long oblique ochreous-whitish
strigule more or less tinged with leaden-grey, alternating with very slight short
strigule of black irroration ; between 4 and apex the whitish strigule are
often continued across wing as well-marked angulated striz, leaving an angu-
lated basal patch and narrow irregular central facia of ground colour ; gener-
ally a more or less marked broad streak of blackish irroration in dise from base
to end of cell, sometimes well-defined above and continued to near apex ; often
a subcrescentic downwards-curved dark spot in disc at 3 ; space beyond cell
variably mixed with whitish suffusion and irrorated with dark fuscous, with
two distinct black interneural lines between veins 6-8, and indications of others,
especially often two short black marks between veins 3-5 : cilia pale brownish-
ochreous with rows of whitish points, sometimes somewhat sprinkled with
dark fuscous, at apex with a more or less marked dark ochreous-brown spot
marked with black, Hindwings grey, paler towards base; cilia ochreous-
whitish, with an indistinct grey subbasal line.

November 15, 1909.] Descriptions of Indian Micro-Lepidoptera. 592-

Thorax whitish-ochreous, anteriorly tinged with brownish and marked with
blackish-grey, Abdomen fuscous, basal third ochreous-yellowish, apex whitish-
ochreous. Posterior tibiae beneath with long projecting ochreous scale, forming
a broad triangular tuft before middle and grey expansible hair-pencil from base
lying on inner side of this. Forewings elongate, moderate, posteriorly dilated,
costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen somewhat sinuate, vertical, rounded
beneath ; rather dark brown tinged with reddish, mixed with blackish and
suffusedly striated with ashy-grey ; a large semi-oval ochreous-whitish blotch
extending along costa from 3 to 3 and reaching nearly half across wing, mark-
ed with indistinct pale red-brownish oblique strigule becoming distinct and
blackish on costa, and a light brownish oblique costal spot in middle; and
ashy-grey fascia indistinctly edged with whitish from beyond this blotch in
disc to ? of dorsum, followed by some undefined whitish suffusion towards
termen: cilia pale fuscous sprinkled with whitish, with two dark grey shades.
Hindwings dark fuscous, with bases of scales subhyaline, appearing finely
Striated ; a large patch of rather thinly strewn modified black hairscales with
prismatic green and purple reflections occupying whole of dise from near base
to 3; whole dorsal area beneath this yellow-ochreous, towards dorsum clothed
with long dense scales and with dorsal cilia elongated, on lower surface with
expansible long hairs in a subdorsal groove ; cilia as in forewings, becoming
ochreous round dorsal patch,

Maskeliya, Ceylon, in April (Pole); one specimen. The special colouring
and structures of hindwings will doubtless prove to be confined to the @.

Argyroploce, Hb.

Lagree with Prof, Fernald in adopting this name for the genus previously
termed by me Eucosma, Hb. (that name being rightly applied otherwise),
including also Platypeplus, as previously explained. I find further that the
stalking of veins 3 and 4 of hindwings cannot be properly used to distinguish
Enarmonia generically, since in some of the species hereafter described the
structure is inconstant within the limits of the same species, and I propose
therefore to rely on the thoracic crest to separate the two genera, attributing
all those species with well-developed crest to Argyroploce ; on this view the
four Indian species already referred to Enarmonia must all be transferred to
Argyroploce. On this understanding the number of Indian species already
described which are attributable to Argyroploce is 28, and I now describe 33
more, and have still much additional material,

Argyroploce lasiandra, n. sp.

é. 21mm. Head, palpi, and thorax rather dark fuscous, palpi porrected.

fuscous between these, and with a larger oblique spot in middle indicating
central fascia ; an irregular thick blue-leaden transverse stria beyond this,
furcate on costa ; between this and apical spot two pairs of white striz variably
developed, sometimes partially obsolete, sometimes united into a broad white
fascia, including a thick irregular blue-leaden mark from tornus reaching half
across wing, and a thick upwards-oblique dark fuscous streak from middle of
termen ; a triangular apical spot of ferruginous-brown scales with dark fuscous
tips, preceded by a leaden- metallic streak : cilia leaden-grey with blackish basal
line, and indications of blackish bars. Hindwings with 6 and 7 stalked ;
fuscous, suffused with darker towards termen ; cilia light fuscous, with dark
fuscous subbasal shade.

N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; Khasis ; Moulmein, Burma ; from June to
November and in February ; twelve specimens, The stalking of veins 6 and 7
of hindwings is exceptional in the genus, but in all other respects the species
seems to belong here.

& @. 17-18 mm. Head whitish, forehead fuscous or dark grey, with violet
reflections. Palpi subascending, fuscous with violet reflections, beneath ochre-
ous-whitish, Thorax whitish, spotted with dark grey. Abdomen light fuscous.
Posterior tibie with appressed scales. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa
gently arched, apex obtuse, termen almost straight, somewhat oblique ; dark
fuscous ; a whitish basal patch occupying 2 of wing, irregularly spotted with
grey except towards dorsum posteriorly, outer edge nearly straight or some-
times angularly projecting near costa, vertical ; a fascia of irregular leaden-
metallic strie beyond middle, angulated near costa, somewhat marked with
white towards dorsum; two irregular subconfluent white striz before termen,
marked with leaden-metallic streaks on veins, lower portion broken inwards
above middle: cilia rather dark fuscous sprinkled with white, towards base
whitish barred with fuscous. Hindwings fuscous ; cilia fuscous sprinkled with
whitish, base pale,

Khasis, in June, September, and October ; four specimens.

Argyroplice corthyntis, n. sp.

& Q. 19-21 mm. Head and thorax varying from light brownish-ochreous
or grey to rather dark fuscous, Palpi porrected grey, suffused with white
towards base beneath and on upper edge of second joint. Abdomen light
brownish-ochreous, sometimes mixed with dark fuscous. Posterior tibiz rough
scaled. Forewings elongate, narrow at base, considerably dilated posteriorly,
costa slightly arched, with an abruptly rounded prominence from middle to
near apex, apex prominent, round-pointed, termen rather strongly sinuate
beneath it, vertical, rounded beneath ; pale grey, brownish-ochreous, or whitish-
fuscous, sometimes sprinkled with fuscous, or more or less wholly suffused with

sometimes preceded by two or three leaden strigule ; dorsum sometimes
dotted with blackish or whitish ; usually a fine black terminal line: cilia light
brownish-ochreous, towards base usually markedly paler or grey-whitish,
Hindwings light fuscous-ochreous, :towards apex sufiused with fuscous, in
the darkest specimen mostly suffused with rather dark fuscous ; cilia light
ochreous, with fuscous subbasal shade.

Patipola and Hakgala, Ceylon, in April and May (Green, Alston, Pole) ; six
specimens. Nearly allied to lichenoides, Wals., which is the type of the genus
Lipsotelus, Wals., but I do not regard the peculiar form of forewings, which is
the main distinguishing character, as deserving generic separation, In liche-
noides, which I possess from the Khasi Hills, the costal prominence of fore-
wings does not extend so far towards apex, and the apex is less prominent,

apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate, hardly oblique ; bright coppery-ferru-
ginous, the ground colour mostly overlaid by suffused confluent light violet-
grey strie ; a broad undefined streak of dark ferruginous-brown suffusion
along dorsum, including in middle an undefined elongate-triangular patch of

Sukna, E. Himalayas, 500 feet, in July (Annandale); one
specimen. Apparently nearest to O. vaughant from Ceylon, but
that species has a broad white band on basal portion of abdomen.

Platyptilia gonodactyla, Schiff.

Darjiling, E. Himalayas, 7,000 feet, in August (Paiva); two
specimens, apparently in no respect different from European. I
have it also from Rawalpindi.

PHALONIADAE.
Phalonta manniana, F.R.

Bosondhur, Khulna district, Ganges delta, at light, in August
(Jenkins); I have it also commonly from Ceylon. There is some
individual variability, but no constant difference from the Euro-
pean form ; it is a very wide-ranging insect.

strigulae: a trapezoidal blotch of whitish irroration on dorsum
beyond middle ; a more or less marked dark stria from middle of
costa to tornus, angulated in middle, where it forms a small spot ;
upper end of ocellus indicated by some whitish suffusion edged by
an irregular black line, between which and costa is a subterminal
series of short black marks; a round dark fuscous apical spot
edged with whitish: cilia grey sprinkled with blackish and whitish.
Hindwings with 3 and 4 stalked; dark fuscous, darker posteriorly ;
longitudinal hyaline patches in and beneath cell towards base ;
in @ beneath an elongate subdorsal glandular patch of dense dark
fuscous scales; extending from near base to tornus, and an
elongate blackish dorsal patch alongside; cilia fuscous, darker
toward base, tips whitish-tinged.

Calcutta, bred from litchi fruit in June, and at light in August
(Annandale). Having obtained a series of the Hawaiian form, I
find it is identical with Australian, Indian, and South African
examples ; the larva feeds in various fruits.

Areyroploce aprobola, Meyr.

Puri, Orissa, in October; Quilon, Travancore, in November
(Annandale). This widely distributed insect is doubtless attached
to some garden tree or plant.

XX Xo NW MICRO-LEPIDOPTEHRA
FROM INDIA AND BURMA.

By E. Meyrick, B.A., F.R.S.

The following descriptions are from specimens taken by Dr.
N. Annandale, and the types are in the collection of the Indian
Museum.
CERACIDZ.

Cerace, Walk.

I have formerly treated this genus as belonging to the Plutel-
lide, but I now recognise that its neturation is essentially Tortricid
in character, and that the smooth head cannot outweigh this. I
propose, therefore, to constitute the Ceracide as a distinct family,
agreeing with typical Tortricide in neuration and other important
points, but differing from them by the smooth head.

Cerace mesoclasta, sp. nov.

9. 4% mm. Head white, collar purple-blackish edged with
white. Palpi white, with a grey streak along upper edge of second
joint except at apex, terminal joint grey. Antenne dark grey
ringed with white. Thorax dark purple-fuscous, with five white
spots, patagia edged with white. Abdomen blackish, segmental
margins light ochreous-yellow, apex orange. Fore wings elongate,
narrow, rather dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, apex very
obtuse, termen rounded so as to project rather beyond apex ;
dark purple-fuscous, covered with rows of numerous small whitish
spots between veins, towards costa united into transverse strige
which become larger, towards base; in the middle of dise these
spots coalesce into a longitudinal streak ; an elongate orange spot
on termen, extending from vein 2 to 0; cilia dark fuscous (imper-
fect). Hind wings whitish ; a fuscous blotch suffusedly spotted
with dark fuscous occupying apical fourth of wing ; a row of dark
fuscous spots along costa; about three rows of dark fuscous spots
extending over dorsal area of wing from base to apical blotch,
smaller towards base; cilia white, round apical blotch mostly
dark fuscous.

Kurseong, E. Himalayas, at 5,000 feet, in May ; one speci-
men. Nearest C. stipatana, but easily known by the discal white
streak, less extensive orange patch, spotted dorsal area of hind
wings, and blackish-banded abdomen. In the specimen described
veins 6 and 7 are short-stalked in one fore wing by an abnor-
mality, the other wing being quite normal.

GELECHIAD AS.
Ochmastis, gen. nov.

Head smooth-scaled ; ocelli absent; tongue developed. An-
tenn +, in @ simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial
palpi long, recurved, second joint rather short, with moderate
projecting tuft of rough hairs towards apex beneath, terminal
joint nearly twice as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary
palpi very short, filiform, drooping. Posterior tibizee clothed with
long hairs above. Fore wings with vein 16 furcate, 2 from near +,
3 and 4 approximated from angle, 5 parallel, 6 absent, 7 and 8
stalked, 7 to apex, 11 from middle. Hind wings 1, elongate-trape-
zoidal, termen scarcely sinuate, cilia over I; 2 widely remote, 3-5
rather approximated at base, 6 and 7 long-stalked.

Belongs to the group of Ypsolophus, in which it is charac-
terised by the neuration.

Ochmastis chionacma, sp. nov.

@”. 16mm. Head and thorax white sprinkled with dark
fuscous. Palpi white, second joint blackish except towards apex,
terminal joint sprinkled with grey ? with three undefined blackish
rings. Antenne blackish ringed with white. Abdomen grey, anal
tuft ochreous-yellowish. Fore wings elongate, narrow, costa gently
arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; white, irre-
gularly sprinkled with dark fuscous ; two small dark fuscous spots
near base above and below middle, upper marked with black; an
irregular quadrate dark fuscous patch on dorsum before middle,
reaching # across wing, enclosing an elongate pale yellow-ochreous
blotch of somewhat raised scales dilated posteriorly and edged
above with a few black scales; three subconfluent dark fuscous
blotches forming an irregular streak from middle of disc to 4 of
costa, crossed by an interrupted thick black streak in disc from
before middle to #, and two or three short black streaks on veins
beyond this; an elongate black mark on costa before middle ;
apical area forming a roundish clear white spot, edged by a margi-
nal black line: cilia white, on costa with three black wedge-
shaped spots, round apex with three dark fuscous bars towards
tornus suffused with fuscous and sprinkled on basal half with dark
fuscous. Hind wings grey, thinly scaled towards base; cilia pale
grey towards base, ochreous-tinged.

Dawna Hills (2—3,000 feet), Lower Burma, in March; one
specimen.

ELACHISTID A.
Stathmopoda placida, sp. nov.

considerably dilated posteriorly, costa towards apex gently arched,
apex rounded-obtuse, termen little oblique, slightly rounded ;
ochreous-orange, slightly violet-tinged ; about 18—24 white spots,
viz., three large transverse ones and two or three small on dorsum,
three more or less large rounded ones and two or three small in
disc, one rather large transverse on termen above tornus, and the
rest small, rounded, scattered along costa and towards apex:
cilia whitish, base ochreous-orange. Hind wings grey, thinly scaled
and sub-hyaline towards base; cilia whitish, base grey.

One specimen at base of Dawna Hills, Lower Burma, in March ;
and I possess three others from the island of Penang, and Labuan,
Borneo,

TINEIDA.
Tischeria pltarmica, sp. nov.

72. 4-5 mm. Head, palpi, and antenne light greyish-
ochreous. ‘Thorax greyish-ochreous sprinkled with fuscous. Abdo-
men grey, apex greyish-ochreous. Fore wings lanceolate ; 6 present ;
light greyish-ochreous irrorated with fuscous, with some scattered
dark fuscous scales, on dorsal half more or less yellowish-tinged ;
undefined dorsal spots of dark fuscous irroration at middle, #,
and apex: cilia pale greyish. Hind wings and cilia pale greyish.

Bred in plenty from larve mining small elongate blotches in
leaves of Zizyphus jujuba, at Puri, Orissa, in January. The species
occurred in great profusion, leaves an inch in diameter containing
twenty or more larve, and the moths are described as “* swarming
like a cloud of midges round the tree.’’ ‘The mine, larval habits,
and pupa are similar to those of European species.

Crypsithyris spelea, sp. nov.

7 @. gIo mm. Wholly pale whitish-ochreous except eyes,
which are deep black. Fore wings elongate, narrow, costa gently
arched, apex pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded. Hind
wings with transverse vein present, 2—7 separate.

Khayon (“‘ Farm’’) Cave, Moulmein, Burma, in March ; three
specimens. This is a very curious and interesting species, appar-
ently a true cave-dweller, found permanently resident ‘‘ in total
darkness ’’ (Annandale), being the only known species of Lepidoptera
adapted to such conditions ; but since the eyes are fully developed
and the power of flight maintained, it would seem probable that the
darkness is not quite absolute, but such that eyes accustomed to it
can still perceive faintly. The absence of light has, however, suf-
ficed to prevent the development of colour, the insects being prac-
tically bleached or colourless. The larvee of four Indian species
of Crypsithyris are known, and all are lichen-feeders, so that prob-
ably this may feed the same way, in portable cases on the rock-
walls, Other Indian caves should be examined for similar species,

Melasina apracta, sp. nov.

@. 15-18 mm. Head with appressed hairs, pale greyish-
ochreous. Palpi moderate, rather curved, pointed, pale greyish-
ochreous, second joint sometimes infuscated. Antenne pale grey-
ish-ochreous. ‘Thorax pale greyish-ochreous suffused with fuscous
anteriorly. Abdomen pale ochreous, more yellowish posteriorly,
with large anal tuft of long hairs. Fore wings elongate, rather
narrow, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, termen
extremely obliquely rounded; pale greyish-ochreous, sometimes
yellowish-tinged, suffusedly irrorated throughout with fuscous ;
a cloudy spot of darker fuscous suffusion in disc at #%: cilia
Ochreous-grey-whitish sprinkled with fuscous. Hind wings light
greyish ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous.
