378 DESCRIPTIONS OF MICRO-LEP1DOPTERA, 



narrow fascia near base, from -J of costa to I of inner margin, some- 

 times obsolete beneath fold ; a dark fuscous triangular spot on 

 costa towards middle, anteriorly suffused, reaching J across wing ; 

 a blackish (sometimes double) dot in disc before middle, a second 

 rather beyond it on fold, a third, elongate, above and beyond 

 second, a fourth on apex of costal triangle, and three others 

 transversely placed in disc beyond middle, and generally united 

 into a crescentic mark ; a small cloudy dark fuscous spot on costa 

 at f , emitting an outwards-curved fuscous-grey line to before anal 

 angle, its extremities often joined by an inwards-curved fuscous 

 shade ; sometimes a row of fuscous hindmarginal dots : cilia 

 ochreous-whitish, with an interrupted fuscous-grey line. Hind- 

 wings fuscous-grey, towards base rather paler and slightly ochreous- 

 tinged ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with a faint grey basai line. 



Rather variable, but specially characterised by the outwardly

 and between the first two. In form of wing the species recalls 

 Eulechria adoxella.
