STENOMA. 159 
1. Stenoma zelotes, sp. n. 
Antennae biciliate 3, the basal joint much widened, at a distance from it equal to its own length is a small 
pit-like depression in the §; whitish cinereous, the basal joint shaded above with fawn-grey. Palpi 
smooth, recurved, the terminal joint shorter than the median; whitish cinereous, a slightly darker ring 
around the extreme base of the terminal joint. Head fawn-grey; face whitish. Thorax fawn-grey. 
Forewings elongate, more than four times as long as wide, the costa straight beyond the base; apex 
slightly depressed, rounded, termen obliquely convex; dull fawn-grey, the costal third whitish, the white 
mixing with the darker dorsal colouring beyond the end of the cell to the termen; from the middle of 
the costa an outwardly oblique line of diffused fawn-brown scales runs to a small fuscous spot at the end 
of the cell; beyond it a similar parallel line is recurved to the dorsum before the tornus, after reaching 
the point opposite to the middle of the termen; a small elongate fuscous spot, at one-fourth from the 
base, is placed on the upper edge of the cell, and a series of similar but smaller spots follows the margin 
beyond the outwardly curved second costal line, reaching to the tornus; cilia whitish along their middle, 
fawn-brownish at their base and outer half. Hwp.al.15-20 mm. Hindwings without costal tuft above 
in ¢, nearly twice as broad as the forewings; very pale brownish grey; cilia shining, pale cinereous, a 
slight shade-line running through them near their base. Abdomen shining, brownish grey. Legs whitish 
cinereous, the hind tibiae shortly fringed above.

2. Stenoma ceratistes, sp. n. 
Antennae whitish cinereous. Palpt whitish cinereous. Head very pale fawn-brownish above ; face whitish. 
Thorax pale fawn-grey, with a slight brownish tinge. Jorewings pale fawn-grey, with a slight brownish 
tinge, the costal third dirty whitish, widening outwardly to the middle of the termen, but traversed by 
diffused lines of pale fawn-brownish scales, following the neuration beyond the end of the cell; at the 
end of the cell is a small brownish fuscous spot, a narrow elongate spot of the same colour placed in the 
middle of the fold, and a faint indication of two or three brownish fuscous dots on the lower part 
of the termen; cilia whitish above the middle, very pale fawn-brownish below the middle of the 
termen. Exp. al. 19-21 mm. Hindwings very pale brownish grey ; a tuft of long ochreous hair-scales 
near the base of the costa on the upper side in the d. Abdomen pale brownish grey. Legs whitish 
cinereous,

3. Stenoma demotica, sp. n. 
Antennae brownish grey. Palpi bone-whitish, a brownish grey streak along the outer side of the median 
joint. Mead and Thorax brownish grey ; face whitish. Horewings narrow, elongate, tapering outwards ; 
dull bone-whitish, the costa very narrowly clean bone-white throughout, the remainder of the wing 
more or less suffused and speckled with brownish grey, the dorsal half more strongly suffused than the 
costal, and more widely towards the base than to the termen ; crossing the wing are three lines of still 
darker brownish fuscous spots (more or less coalescing into a continuous shade in the first two), of these, 
the first commences indistinctly on the costa at about one-sixth, and descending obliquely outward to 
the dorsum about the middle includes a discal spot at the upper edge of the cell and a plical spot beneath 
it; the second, commencing at about the middle of the costa, includes a single strong spot at the end of 
the cell and expands into a diffuse shade to the dorsum, there coalescing with the lower extremity of the 
third line which is obliquely bowed outward beyond the cell half-way to the termen; a line of seven or
