INDIAN MICR0-LEP1D0PTEBA. 605 



PhcBosaces Meyr.. 



I propose to extend the structural characters of this genus so as to include 

 forms in which vein 7 of forewings runs to the termen, and also those in which 

 the second joint of palpi is clothed with rough projecting hairs towards apex 

 above. In view of this extension Ilomosaces will cease to exist, being merged 

 in Phceosaces, 



Phceosaces chrysocoma n. sp. 



$. 16 mm. Head orange-yellow. Palpi light orange, sprinkled with dark 

 fuscous, terminal joint § of second, anterior edge dark fuscous. Antennas 

 fuscous. Thorax and abdomen dark purplish-fuscous. Legs yellow, anterior 

 and middle pair banded with dark fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa gently 

 arched, aoex obtuse, termen oblique, slightly rounded ; 7 to apex ; dark shining 

 purplish-bronzy-fuscous ; extreme costal edge yellow except at base and apex: 

 cilia rather dark fuscous, tips ochreous-whitish on termen. Hindwings and 

 cilia dark bronzy-fuscous. 



One specimen, Pundalu-oya, Ceylon, in February (Green). Much like 

 P. anthocoma, but differing by the apical termination of vein 7, and yellow 

 costal edge of forewings. 



Phceosaces orthotoma n. sp. 



$. 19 mm. Head whitish-fuscous. Palpi very long, second joint fuscous 

 sprinkled with whitish, above with rough projecting whitish hairs, apex whitish, 

 terminal joint whitish, anterior edge mixed with fuscous. Thorax light fuscous. 

 Abdomen pale greyish-ochreous. Forewings sub-oblong, costa moderately 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen oblique, slightly rounded ; 2 from before angle, 

 7 to apex ; pale fuscous ; costal edge narrowly whitish-ochreous ; discal stig- 

 mata dark fuscous, partially whitish-edged, second large, connected with apex 

 of a triangular prastornal blotch of dark fuscous suffusion, its anterior edge 

 vertical and margined with ochreous-whitish ; a terminal series of irregular dark 

 fuscous dots continued round apex : cilia ochreous-whitish, brownish-tinged 

 on basal half, with antemedian series of faint fuscous spots. Hindwings light 

 fuscous, darker posteriorly ; cilia pale whitish-fuscous. 



One specimen, Peradeniya, Ceylon, in November (Green). 



Phceosaces aganopis n. sp. 



9.19 mm. Head light ochreous, brownisU-tinged. Palpi very long, second 

 joint dark fuscous sprinkled with whitish-ochreous, above with rough project- 

 ing whitish hairs, extreme apex whitish, terminal joint ochreous-whitish, 

 anterior edge mixed with fuscous. Thorax light brown. Abdomen grey, apex 

 whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex obtuse, 

 terunn oblique, lightly rounded; 2 widely remote from angle,7 to termen; rather 

 light brown, slightly ferruginous-tinged, with a few scattered dark fuscous 

 scales ; stigmata dark fuscous, plical somewhat beyond first discal : cilia light 

 ochreous, on basal half brownish-tinged. Hindwings pale fuscous, tinged with 

 whitish-ochreous anteriorly, darker towards apex ; cilia pale ochreous. 



One specimen, Maskeliya, Ceylon, in August (Green).
