84 EXOTIC MICROLKPIDOPTKRA. 



with bronzy reflections, irroratecl and strigulated with dark fuscous ; 

 a large transverse dark fuscous spot on end of cell : cilia ochreous- 

 grey-wliitish, with subbasal grey shade becoming blackish on costa. 

 Hindwings grey ; cilia light grey. 



Assam, Shillong, 5000 feet, in October (Fletcher); one specimen. 



Monopis meleodes, n. sp. 



c5'. 12 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi fuscous, terminal 

 joint whitish. Thorax fuscous. Abdomen whitish-grey. Fore- 

 wings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen 

 extremely obliquely rounded ; 6 to costa ; nearly uniform fuscous ; 

 extreme costal edge whitish except towards base ; a small oval 

 thinly scaled light fuscous spot in end of cell : cilia pale fuscous 

 mixed with darker, towards tii)s whitish. Hindwings with 5 and 

 6 approximated; pale grey, with slight bronzy reflections; cilia 

 pale grey, towards tips whitish. 



Asia Minor, Alma Dagh ; one specimen. 



Setomorpha rutella Zell. 



The neuration of this species shows considerable variability, 

 besides sexual diff'erences ; normally in the forewings 3 and 4 are 

 coincident in J > stalked in $ , 8 and 9 out of 7 ; in the hindwings 

 3 and 4 coincident in cJ , separjite in 5 , 5 and 6 connate or 

 stalked. In the forewings 3 and 4 are seldom ap])roxiraatcd in 5 : 

 one J has 8 absent, another has an additional short branch out 

 of 7 near apex. In the hindwings in one c? 4 is present, connate 

 with 3 (the same individual in which 8 of forewings is absent), 

 in the $ 3 and 4 are sometimes stalked. After examining a large 

 amount of material from all regions I do not cot)sider iliscijninctella 

 lleb. or other named forms specifically distinct.

 other small scattered spots; a row of small fuscous s])ots along-
