DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MlCRO-LEPl DOPTERA . :>80 



Hind-wings dark fuscous, more blackish posteriorly ; an elongate; suffused 

 hyaline patch from base beneath and along lower part of cell ; in ^ whole 

 doi-sal area formed into a large separate lobe by a deep incision extending 

 beneath cell nearly to base ; cilia giey-whitisli, with dark fuscous basal line. 



Khasis, from November to March ; nine specimens. Veins 3 and 4 of 

 hindwings are more widely remote in ^ than in $ , owing to wing-modification. 



Proschistis, Meyr. 



Differs from Pohjchroais by veins 6 and 7 of hindwings being approximated 

 towards base but separate, from Arijyroploce by separation of veins 3 and 4 of 

 hindwing-s. Founded on a single species ; I now add three more. 



Proschistis lacifera, n. sp. 



9. -3 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax fuscous mixed with darker, patagia 

 mixed with yellowish. Abdomen light fuscous, Forewings elongate, posterior- 

 ly somewhat dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, 

 little oblique ; secondary cell moderately broad ; fuscous mixed with blackish 

 towards dorsum tinged with greenish on veins ; costa suffused with blackish 

 and marked with nine pairs of ochreous whitish strigulse ; basal patch mixed 

 with whitish, hardly defined except by a blackish-fuscous dorsal spot at ^, and 

 followed by two pairs of very irregular whitish stritB ; two similar paii-s beyond 

 middle, confluent in disc and crossed above middle by a narrow inwards-oblique 

 pale yellow blotch ; pair of whitish striae before termen, becoming double 

 on lower half ; some white dots on termen, edged anteriorly by a waved 

 blackish line ; cilia fuscous, indistinctly barred with pale yellowish. Hind- 

 wings fuscous ; cilia light fuscous, sprinkled with whitish towards tips with 3 

 darker subbasal line. 



Palni Hills (Campbell) ; one specimen. 



Proschistis agitata, n, sp. 



^ 5. 19-21 mm. Head and thorax pale reddish-fuscous mixed with dark 

 fuscous and whitish. Antennal ciliations in ^ short. Palpi brownish suffu- 

 sedly mixed with dark fuscous. Abdomen grey, in ^ suffused with whitish 

 ochreous towards base, Forewings elongate, posteriorly somewhat dilated, 

 costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate, hardly oblique ; 

 secondary cell very narrow ; fuscous tinged with reddish, and irregularly 

 mixed with white, and stiigulated with black ; outer edge of basal patch indi- 

 cated by a small black spot on costa ; central fascia formed by blackish suffu- 

 sion, narrow, iriegular, indistinct, below middle forming a more conspicuous 

 very in-egular elongate blotch : a rather narrow fascia of blackish suffusion 

 from costa before apex to dorsum before tornus, marked on veins with brown : 

 cilia fuscous mixed with dark fuscous, on tornus sprinkled with whitish, 

 Hindwings fuscous, darker towards apex ; cilia fuscous, with dark fuscous 

 subbasal line, 



Maskeliya and Patipola, Ceylon, in February and October (Alston, de 

 Mowbi-ay ) ; four specimens. The secondary cell of forewings is in P. zalenta, 

 still narrower than in this species, a point not noticed in my description.
