Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole) ; Khasis ; Fort Stedman, Burma (Manders) ; from 

 July to November, and in March; eight specimens, C.palUfasciella, Snell, bred 

 from sugarcane in Java, should be nearly allied to this (it is unknown to me), 

 but apparently considerably smaller, with the median line not so long, the 

 metallic anterior margin of band practically entire, and the lower of the two 

 posterior spots slightly beyond the upper (according to the figure), 



Cosmopteryx spiculata, n, sp, 



^,11 mm. Head rather dark bronzy-fuscous, with a fine white line on each 

 side of crown, face bronzy-whitish. Palpi white lined with blackish. Antennae 

 blackish lined with white, three apical joints white, then three blackish, one 

 black, one white, one black. Thorax rather dark bronzy-fuscous, with three 

 very fine white lines. Abdomen pale bronzy-grey, scutellum and sides silvery- 

 shining, apex whitish. Posterior tibiae dark fuscous with white median, 

 anteapical, and apical rings. Forewings very narrowly lanceolate, apex slenderly 

 long-produced, caudate ; rather dark bronzy-fuscous ; dorsal edge white to- 

 wards base : a very fine white somewhat oblique subcostal line from base to | ; 

 a very fine white median line from very near base to g^ ; a very fine white sub- 

 dorsal line from beyond apex of subcostal to rather near band ; costal edge 

 white for some distance before band ; a broad yellow transverse band beyond 

 middle narrowed downwards, anterior edge marked with two pale golden- 

 metallic spots, upper followed by a black dot, lower posterior, posterior edge 

 marked with two pale golden-metallic spots preceded by a few blackish scales, 

 lower larger and slightly anterior, oblique, from between these a sinuate yellow 

 line becoming white on posterior half extends along termen to apex : cilia 

 whitish-fuscous tinged with ochreous, on costa whitish on edge of band. 

 Hindwings grey ; cilia pale bronzy-grey. 



Maskeliya, Ceylon, in July ( Pole ) ; one specimen. Very like aculeata, but 

 distinguished by the diiierently coloured abdomen, the extreme fineness of the 

 antemedian lines ( finer than in any other species), which are also shorter 

 posteriorly, the yellower apical streak, and lighter grey hindwings. 



Cosmopteryx hamifera, n. sp. 



$. 8 mm. Head rather dark bronzy-fuscous, with a fine white line above 

 each eye, face whitish. Palpi whitish lined with dark fuscous. Antennae dark 

 fuscous lined with white towards base, three apical joints white, then two dark 

 fuscous, one white. Thorax rather dark bronzy-fuscous, patagia whitish except 

 shoulders. Abdomen pale ochreous suffused with fuscous, apex whitish. 

 Posterior tibiae dark, fuscous, with white median, anteapical, and apical rings. 

 Forewings narrowly lanceolate, apex long-produced, caudate ; rather dark 

 fuscous ; costal edge white from near base to f ; a fine white subcostal line 

 from base to | ; a white median line from base to band ; a white subdorsal 

 line from \ to band, where it joins apex of median ; a broad light yellow trans- 

 verse band extending from middle of wing to f, anterior edge marked with two 

 rounded pale golden-metallic spots, upper followed by a well-marked black dot, 

 lower directly beneath upper, band crossed beyond its middle by a transverse
