8. Dichomeris hexasticta, sp. n. 
Antennae biciliate 13, toward the base serrate, but not ciliate beyond the middle; cinereous. . Palpt 
broadly triangular on the median joint, dark brown externally, hoary greyish on its innerside and along 
its outer margin; the slender terminal joint pale cinereous. Head and upper portion of Thorax hoary 
greyish; the tegulae and sides of the thorax pale ochreous. Yorewings pale straw-ocureous, a black spot 
at the extreme base is produced outward in a thin line along the costa, nearly to the middle, and is 
narrowly margined beneath with whitish ochreous; before the middle of the wing is a group of four 
conspicuous black spots, three on the cell arranged as an equilateral triangle with the apex outward, the 
fourth on the fold below and a little beyond the lower of the three ; beyond these at the end of the cell 
gare two similar spots, the upper a little beyond the lower ; a series of from six to eight much 
smaller black spots occurs along the termen and around the apex; cilia very pale ochreous. Lap. al. 
18mm. Hindwings greyish cinereous; cilia very pale cinereous, with a slight shade-line running along 
their base. -Abdomen brownish cinereous, Legs brownish cinereous; the hairy upper half of the 
tibiae paler. .

9. Dichomeris leucostena, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 12.) 
Antennae slightly serrate and very shortly ciliate; fuscous above, whitish beneath, with faint whitish 
annulations towards the apex. Palpi whitish, the median joint with a broad brush beneath, shaded with 
brownish fuscous externally, except along its terminal margin. Mead white, sprinkled with fuscous 
scales; face shining bronzy. Thorax brownish fuscous, anteriorly whitish; tegulae white. Forewings 
brownish fuscous, darker on the basal third than beyond it, with a broad darkened oblique shade parallel 
with the termen at three-fourths, and a small dark spot about the upper angle of the cell ; along the costa 
is a broad white band including at its origin the whole base of the wing, except a short dark streak along 
the extreme costa, and gradually attenuate to its apex at the commencement of the costal cilia ; cilia pale 
greyish, Evp.al, 18 mm. Hindwings and cilia pale greyish. Abdomen greyish fuscous; anal tuft 
whitish ochreous. Legs whitish, with a dark spot externally at the first joint of the tibiae.

10. Dichomeris melanota, sp.n. (Tab. IIT. fig. 13.) 
Antennae black, fading slightly to brownish black outwardly. Palpi black, each of the projecting scales on 
the strong triangular tuft tipped with, hoary cinereous; terminal joint ochreous, with a strong black 
shade along the underside, tapering toward the apex, but again widened to embrace the sides somewhat 
before and up to the apex. Head and Thorax black. Forewings slightly lustrous, bluish black, with 
inconspicuous darker dull black markings; an outwardly oblique streak, arising on the fold at one-third 
of the wing-length, but not quite reaching the costa before the middle; some minute transverse striac 
along the dorsum, and a triangulate transverse streak, arising from the costa at three-fourths pointing 
outward toward the rather suddenly depressed and angulate apex, then sharply bent inward making 
two adjacent points directed toward the upper angle of the cell, and again descending with a slight
