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 id | \ JAN 27 199] Jif.)

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. >) } {0 aeeou’ said Lexmpien joint with obglliywe. aaa duasute ware Hie it laeinh,” “Abdonjen!

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.

[Nov. 2, 1905, 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. Tipha monetella, Feld, (Anarsia monetella. Feld., Reis, Nov, pl. CKXXIX, 19.) Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February (Pole).

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- minal joint of palpi with dark fuscous line each side of anterior edge, Antennmw 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, Anacampsis nerterta, N. sp, & ¢. 10—11 mm, Head, antenng, and thorax dark bronzy-fuscous, face whitish-ochreous.

Hindwings and cilia grey. Thirty-four specimens, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in February and April (Green), Bred in plenty by Mr, Green who gives the following particulars ;—“ Larva dull [7 } 140 Journ., Bom. Nat, Hist, Soc., Vol. XVII, No. 1. [Apr. 23, 1906, greenish ; head and plate of 2 dark brown; spots black: feeds between two 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, Siegasta variana, Meyr.

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 [13] 146 Journ., Bom, Nat. Hist, Soc., Vol. AVIJ, No, 1. [Apr, 23, 1906. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 [1] / $b 3aT Journ,, Bom Nat, Hist, 8oc., Vol, XVIIT., No. 4.

Hindwings and cilia grey. Khasi Hills, in October and November ; ten specimens. Gracilaria auricilla, Stt. (Gracilaria auricilla, Stt., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., v. (n. ser.), 120.) I have not obtained this species. APPENDIX. The species described (very inadequately) by Nietner under the name of Gracilaria coffeifoliella does not seem to belong to the Gracilaria group at all, but I have not succeeded in identifying it. The larvais said to be common as a leaf-miner on coffee ; perhaps some collector could search specially for it, [27 em 1s) » ‘ .T - a av j a ‘ it Ly 4 ; . ‘ ey, | > a 4 es Ae 4 . tobe sone SF A Dah anange haha de : 4 j Maa dei ce d ald To ewawaeidi so.ees A ; i genes an erode: pay ‘A. 4 wedi cca & Utiwet witee ivigiat Huy ee} (t dive «mained aids 32m yy wiles nile Sata thc smaeree won sel j\eoriéa aasien iwi eit | ania fiw Desret hoki Aq daa! eet ant plage istosk aaah derwolhiy ology oupikio: primo’: se ‘enviar: A § ais crerui- ll in ghioteaa Bogba. at . 4 @ dite Suit bomitigs sisce to {04 lacase Bhat gatas es Fas, tet de Minit le ‘Syria fh *) Visits Banta bat Se eden sitgiley al qw 390 r 3 weteatoe no iag la ted wat ENS sotkine § 4 andar Beatie 4 olive ofay ¢ 2¢ tn dei obdokeder ts Sachi oun cotdgy Kann onal of Ag a a alaite « andy dacerallor’. 2 woke! oa jit nib. es ; ollie tana te wets Ere wdnto oi alictt isola HS.

Descriptions of Indian Micro-Lepidopitera. 410 {From the JouRNAL oF THE Bombay Narurat History Society, August 15, 1909.] DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, BY 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 beyond it ; a slender yellowish streak along fold throughout ; a silvery-blue- metallic line above this throughout, extended along termen to apex, where it meets a silvery-blue-metallic subcostal line from 2% to apex ; an ochreous- yellow streak along lower margin of costal streak from indentation onwards extended between the two blue lines to near apex: cilia rather dark fuscous tinged with purplish, on apical third of costa white more or less wholly suffused [lj 41D Journ., Bom, Nat, Hist, Soc., Vol, XIX., No. 2.

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. 1, Forewings with orange subcostal streak from base... anadoxa. . without such streak ne an ug 2 2.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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, cont feat 400 E.
