O. cochlearice occasionally occur with 0-jointed funiculus. C.suturnlis 

 has very small claim to be considered a British insect. The other 

 species in the table are all common. 



It may perhaps be as well to mention that the only British 

 species now remaining in the genus Oeuthorrhynchidius, if we follow 

 Schultze and the latest (1900) European Catalogue, are horridus, 

 Panz , troglodytes, F., rufulus, Duf. (= frontalis, Bris.), dnwsoni, 

 Bris., and barnevilhi, Gren. (= chevrolati, Brit. Cat.), all of which 

 have a 0-jointed funiculus ; tarsal claws dentate on inner side of base ; 

 elytra! interstices with a row of upright bristles; and the dorsal tegu- 

 ments usually reddish.

A NEW INDIAN SPECIES OF ANARSIA. 

 BY E. MEYRICK, B.A., F.B.S. 



The object of describing this new Anarsia is to admit of reference 

 being made to it by Mr. H. Maxwell-Lefroy, the Government Ento- 

 mologist, in his forthcoming Manual of Indian Entomology, as it is a 

 species of some economic importance. 



Anarsia ephippias, n. sp. 

 o* ?. 11 — 12 mm. Head and thorax pale grey, irrorated with dark grey. 

 Palpi whitish-grey, irrorated with dark grey, second joint suffused with dark fuscous 

 except towards apex, terminal joint in 9 with two oblique dark fuscous bands above 

 middle. Antennae dark grey, beneath pale spotted. Abdomen grey mixed with 

 blackish, apex whitish-ochreous. Fore-wings elongate, narrow, costa slightly 

 arched, apex round-pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; fuscous, irrorated 

 with grey-whitish, and irregularly sprinkled with dark fuscous ; a subtriangular 

 dark fuscous spot on middle of costa, preceded and followed by two or three indis- 

 tinct, dark fuscous, oblique strigulffl ; sometimes fire or six irregular blackish marks 

 arranged as fragments of a median longitudinal streak, but these are often little 

 indicated : cilia grey, irrorated with grey-whitish and a few black specks. Hind- 

 wings grey, thinly scaled and subhyaline towards base, darker posteriorly, in $ 

 veins and termen suffused with dark fuscous ; cilia grey.
