some pale mottling along the costa throughout, but especially on the basal third, indicating a series of 
partially obliterated spots; cilia ochreous, slightly mottled with brownish. vp. al. 16-22 mm. 
Hindwings 1+, sericeous, shining, greyish ochreous; cilia ochreous. Abdomen ochreous, Legs ochreous ; 
hind tarsi shaded with dark brownish.

This species differs from funeratella Z. in the dark shade of the forewings failing to 
reach the dorsum, either before or beyond the middle—this character appears to be 
uniform in a series from different localities. 
2. Phycis iulina, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 17.) 
Antennae pale ochreous, with bars of raised dark brownish fuscous scales on each joint above. Palps 
projecting nearly twice the length of the head in front, the median joint somewhat roughened beneath, 
the tuft projecting somewhat at its apex; terminal joint nearly as long as the median, smooth; pale 
ochreous, the median joint dark brownish fuscous nearly to its apex. -Mawillary Palpi folded. Head 
rough; pale ochreous. Thorax pale ochreous; tegulae dark brownish fuscous. Forewings with the costa 
slightly bulged near the base, thence straight, apex depressed, obtusely rounded, termen oblique; pale 
ochreous, with a brassy sheen, and with large connected blotches of dark bronzy fuscous, through which 
a vinous tinge is visible wherever the scales are removed—these blotches commence at the base, where 
the dark colour nearly reaches the costa, but does not extend to the dorsum, at one-fourth its lower 
half is connected upward with the inner angle of a quadrate median blotch, extending from the costa 
nearly to the dorsum; this is again produced outward on its lower half forming a broad, somewhat 
triangular, anteterminal blotch, furcate above in the costal cilia and attenuate at its outer angle to the 
termen above the tornus; the costal space between these blotches and above the first are marked by 
broad, and sometimes geminated, short costal streaks, not oblique—of these there are eight or nine before 
the middle and five or six beyond the middle, one larger and more conspicuous than the others ; a spot 
of the same colour runs through the cilia immediately above the apex, and two others on the termen 
below the apex, these somewhat broken up by the pale ochreous colour of the terminal cilia; a few 
brownish scales occur in the cilia at and before the tornus. wp. al. 25mm. Hindwings silky, pale 
‘greyish ; cilia pale greyish ochreous. Abdomen pale greyish ochreous. Legs pale brassy ochreous.

3. Phycis montium, sp. n. 
Antennae whitish ochreous, annulate with dark umber-brown. Palpi whitish ochreous ; with the median 
joint rough beneath, shaded externally with umber-brown nearly to its apex ; terminal joint shorter 
than the median, also dark umber-brown externally, on its basal half. Mazllary Pulpit folded. Head 
brownish ochreous. Zhoraw umber-brown. orewrngs slightly widened outward, costa slightly arched 
near the base, apex and termen rounded ; shining, whitish ochreous, much mottled with dark umber- 
brown, of which there is an almost continuous, but irregular shade, reaching from the base of the costa
