Hindwing with 2 from just before angle, 3 and 4 long-stalked from 

 angle, 5 straight, horizontal, submedian, cell apparently open between 

 3 and 6+7. Whitish, suffused along edges with bronze grey, veins 

 streaked with this color. Cilia pale ochreous, along costa in apex, 

 and along termen rather infuscated and with a pale basal line. 



Female genitalia: Eighth segment moderately sclerotized. Ste- 

 rigma little developed, shaped as a small spindle-like concave sclerite, 

 its upper edge ill defined. Ductus bursae and corpus not clearly 

 separated, forming a rather thick straight tube, moderately dilated 

 at the end. Signum, a small rounded and finely denticulate sclerite. 



Material examined: Luzon, San Miguel, Tarlac, 1-2 l.X. 1945 

 (J.G. Franclemont), 1 9, holotype, genit. slide 5118. Mt. Apo, 70, 

 Dau, Pampanga Prov., 7.III.1945 (J.G. Franclemont), 1 9, paratype, 

 genit. slide 5132 (GUI). Belongs to the group of L. orbata Meyrick 

 (Borneo) or L. percnobela Meyrick (southern India), but not close to 

 these two species. 



Lecithocera docilis, new species

Forewing (rubbed) with veins 2 and 3 stalked, 9 out of stalk of 7

 of upper edge, point rounded, arms broad. 



Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling (Baker), 1 cf , holotype, 

 genit. slide 5195 (USNM). 



Judging from the genitalia, allied to Lecithocera protolyca Meyrick 

 (China), to L. caustopila Meyrick (Assam) and closest to L. megalopis 

 Meyi-ick (Philippine Islands), differing from the last species by
