192 EXOTIC MTCROLEPIDOPTERA. 



Imma meianosphena, n. sp. 



[ i)ioi)(Kse I his iiaino I'ur the species described by Dr. Turner 

 (I'roc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, xxxviii. 206) as atrosiffiiata Feld., 

 which T consider to have l)een wrongly identified with Felder's 

 figure. 



Simaethis euclista, n. sp. 



cS 2- liJ-1'5 mm. Head ochreous-groy, somewhat sprinkled 

 black and white. Palpi clothed with wliorls of dark grey white- 

 tipped scales. Thorax iiilvous-ochreous somewliat mixed grej', 

 with five stripes of white and grey irroration. Abdomen dark grey, 

 scales of segmentnl margins finely tipped white. Forewings tri- 

 angular, (!Osta moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen bowed, 

 somewhat oblique ; dark fuscous ; a fulvous-ochreous basal ])atch, 

 bisected by a straight subbasal streak of white and grey irroration, 

 edge straight and followed by a thicker direct transverse streak of 

 white and grey irroration ; beyond this an obli(jue fulvous-ochreous 

 ])atch on cosla, and a direct transverse fulvous-ochreous streak on 

 lower half of wing; between these an irregular ring of white 

 irroration in disc beyond middle; two lines of white irroration 

 starting from white dots near together on costa at |, first very 

 obliquely subsinuale outwards to opposite apex, then bent abruptly 

 down and again at rigiit angles inwards to beneath discal ring, 

 then twice very acutely dentate and running direct to dorsum 

 beyond middle, second parallel to first to opposite apex, thence 

 parallel to termen, limiting an evenly broad regular fulvous- 

 ochreous marginal streak running round apical part of costa and 

 termen to toriius : cilia grey with a blackish basal line, mixed with 

 white on a costal spot before apex and patches above and below 

 middle of termen. Hind wings dark grey ; an irregular more or 

 less developed suhteruiinal line of whitish irroration on lower lialf 

 of wing ; cilia grey with dark fuscous subbasal line, tips whitish 

 on termen. 



Bprma, Fort Stedman (Manders); Assam, Khasis ; S. India, 

 Co'imbatore {Fletcher) ; CuyLON, Puttalara, Kegalle, Patipola (Alston, 

 Pole); June, July, December to February, seven specimens. Closely 

 allied to orthof/oaa, with which I confused it for a time, but readily 

 separated by the terminal fulvous-ochreous streak, Avhich is quite 

 even in width and regular throughout, whilst in orthogona it is 

 thickest towards apex and the anterior edge is irregular througli- 

 out. The synonymy of orthogona as given by me is correct. 



Brenthia harmonica, n. sp. 



5.12 mm. Head fuscous. Palpi fuscous, obliquely banded 

 white. Thorax, abdomen rather dark fuscous. Forewings tri- 

 angular, costa gently arched, apex rounded-obtuse, termen some- 

 what rounded, little oblique ; rather dark fuscous ; a straight 

 transverse shade of white irroration about |, slightly inwards- 

 oblique from costa; a broad medinn band of irregular white
