5. Recurvaria sticta, sp. n. 
nae whitish ochreous, barred above with black beyond the rather thickened basal joint. Palpi whitish, 
the basal half of the median joint black on the outer side, with a small black spot before its apex ; 
terminal joint with two black annulations, Head and Thorax whitish ochreous. Forewings whitish 
ochreous, minutely dusted with pale brown and some blackish scales, with numerous black spots around 
which the brownish dusting is rather more profuse; at the extreme base of the costa is a small 
reduplicated black spot, with another at the middle of the base beneath it; a black costal spot before 
the middle is followed by a larger one, somewhat quadrangular, beyond the middle, after which three 
small black dots along the base of the costal cilia are followed by an oblique black apical streak ; 
@ conspicuous outwardly oblique black dorsal patch arises immediately beyond the flexus, extending 
across the fold before its middle; there is a broken black streak along the outer half of the cell, a dorsal 
spot before the tornus, three or four small black spots along the termen, and one or two others just 
beyond the cell, enclosed by a faintly indicated whitish line, strongly bent outward, passing from the 
costal to the dorsal cilia ; terminal cilia whitish ochreous, minutely dusted with black which forms a 
faint line running through them beyond their middle ; dorsal cilia greyish ochreous ; underside profusely 
shaded with fuscous. wp. al.10-12 mm. Hindwings pale bluish grey along the middle, the costa 
narrowly, the dorsum broadly tinged with brownish ochreous; underside sprinkled with fuscous along 
the costa, especially at the apex; cilia greyish ochreous. Abdomen pale ochreous. Legs pale ochreous,

6. Recurvaria picula, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 6.). 
Antennae white, with slender black annulations. Palpt white, the median joint moderately clothed, black at 
the base, with an olivaceous spot on its outer side toward its apex ; terminal joint with two olivaceous 
brownish annulations. Head and Thorax white, the tegulae with a black spot at their base. Forewings 
white, slightly smeared with olivaceous brown between the black markings, which consist of four 
elongate costal spots—one at the base, forming the origin of an outwardly oblique black and brown 
fascia, in which some of the scales are slightly raised, reaching the dorsum at one-third from the base; 
one, scarcely before the middle, one beyond the middle, and a fourth, forming a somewhat broken patch, 
just before the apex ; there is another mixed black and brownish spot on the dorsum before the tornus, 
while a little below each of the two middle costal spots is a black dot; terminal cilia whitish, mottled 
with olivaceous brownish ; dorsal cilia grey. Hwp.al.10 mm. Hindwings grey; cilia grey, with a 
slight brownish tinge, especially at the termen. Abdomen grey. Legs white, smeared with grey on 
their outer sides.
