( 238 ) 



ontor at three-fonrtlis, slightl)' waved, aud parallel to hindmargiu ; marginal aud 

 apical areas smeared with pale fulvous; marginal lino and fringe pale fulvous. 



llindunH()s : with second line only marked. 



Underside dull white. Vertex, thorax, and abdomen white ; face and jialpi 

 dark browu; antennae fnlvous. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One i from the Khasias, Jnly 1896. 



120. Micronidia simpliciata ab. mediofusca ab. nov. 



Differs from typical simpliciata Moore in having the first three lines obliterated, 

 the space between the basal and outer line being suffused witli pale brownish grey; 

 submarginal line only visible above inner margin. On the hiudwings, wliich have 

 no inner line in the type-form, the grey band is restricted to the space between 

 the median and postmedian, the submarginal line remaining distinct throughout. 



A single S from the Khasias, August 1896, taken with others of the ordinary 

 form. 



Microxeua gen. nov. 



Foi-Picings : with costa curved at base and before apex, straight between: apex 

 rectangular; hiudmargin elbowed at vein 3, vertical above, oblique below, aud slightly 

 incurved before anal angle, which is well marked. 



Ilindicings : ample ; with the margin bent at veins 8 and 7, and bluntly sub- 

 dentate at vein 4, faintly excised between 4 and G; anal angle rectangular. 



Antennae of S minutely serrate, with short ciliations; palpi jmrrect, short; 

 tongue and frenulum present; no fovea ; hindtibiae with four spurs. 



Neuration: forewings, cell not quite half the length of wing; discocellular 

 oblique, very faint; first median at three-fourths, second from close to lower angle; 

 radials normal; all five subcostals stalked; lu and 11 coincident, anastomosing witli 

 costal, 10 again anastomosing with 8 and 9. Hiudwings with costa shortly approxi- 

 mated to subcostal; first subcostal uervnle and second median from before angles of 

 cell; no radial. 



Type : Microxena invalidii sp. nov. 



The genus will come near Peratophi/ga and Si7iodcs, from both of which it 

 differs by the absence of a fovea and by the elbowed hiudmargin in the forewings. 



121. Microxena invalida sp. nov. 



Forewings : dull purplish grey, with no distinct markings; the costa yellowish, 

 with groups of striae of the dark ground-colour; hiudmargin narrowly yellowish, the 

 darker ground-colour running out to the elbow as in the genus (7/n/sorrus/icdii ; 

 fringe yellowish. 



Uii«liciiHjs : with tiie hiudmargin very narrowly and obscurely yellowish : IVinge 

 yellow. 



Underside paler, with faint traces of a curved darker postniedi;ui band on fore- 

 wings. Face and jialpi yellowish; tliorax and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 1 7 mm. 



One S from Bali, March to April lS9f> (W. Uoherty). 



Superficially wonderfully resembling a Chrysocraspeda.
