INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 807 



Palrri hills (Campbell) ; one specimen. 



Promalaclis thiasitis, n, sp. 



£9- 8 — 9 mm. Head and thoras bronzy-ochreous-orange, forehead 

 broadly white. Palpi moderately long, ochreous, second joint black towards 

 apex, terminal joint white with black apical band. Antennae white ringed with 

 dark fuscous, ciliations in $ 1. Abdomen grey, anal tuft whitish-ochreous. 

 Forewings elongate-lanceolate ; ochreous-orange ; markings white, edged with 

 scattered black scales ; a slender almost basal oblique transverse streak ; a 

 narrow streak from beneath costa at \ to dorsum before middle ; a rather 

 narrow somewhat angulated fascia at ~, interrupted in middle ; a moderate 

 apical spot : cilia ochreous tinged with grey, greyer towards tornus, with 

 scattered black specks. Hindwings with vein 6 absent, cilia 4 ; grey with a 

 slight brassy tinge, thinly scaled and pellucid towards base ; cilia light 



grey. 



N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; Madulsima, Ceylon (Pole, Fletcher) ; in 

 May and June, four specimens. This species may ultimately require generic 

 separation on the neuration of hindwnigs, but as it is otherwise nearly allied 

 to the rest, I do not think it necessary at present. 



Promalaclis synclina, n. sp. 



$ 9 • 9 — 10 mm. Head bronzy, face pale shining bronze, forehead broadly 

 white. Palpi long, deep ochreous, terminal joint white mixed with black. 

 Antennas white ringed with black, ciliations in $ 1. Thorax deep yellow- 

 ochreous. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, 

 apex pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; light shining orange, 

 basal area up to first line deep yellow-ochreous ; a moderate white line from 

 | of costa to beyond middle of dorsum, edged anteriorly with black irroration ; 

 a fascia of black irroration from | of costa to tornus, triangularly dilated dor- 

 sally, followed on costa by a small white spot ; an apical patch of black irrora 

 tion ; cilia yellow, towards base sprinkled with black, on tornus grey. Hind- 

 wings grey, thinly scaled at base ; cilia grey. 



Nilgiris, 3,500 feet (Andrews) ; N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; in May and 

 June, two specimens. Very like paraseucta, but forewings more pointed and 

 hindwings narrower, first line black-margined anteriorly instead of poste- 

 riorly. 



Promalaclis parazeucta, n. sp. 



9. 11—14 mm. Head dark fuscous, face yellowish, forehead broadly 

 yellow-whitish. Palpi very long, yellow-ochreous or fulvous, terminal joint 

 black sprinkled with white. Antennae white ringed with black. Thorax deep 

 yellow-ochreous. Abdomen grey. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently 

 arched, apex round pointed, termen very obliquely rounded ; bright deep 

 yellow-ochreous ; two white lines, first edged posteriorly and second anteriorly 

 with black irroration, first from £ of costa to beyond middle of dorsum, second 

 from § of costa to J of dorsum, dilated towards costa, angulated and 

 interrupted in middle, the angle connected by a streak of blackish irroration
