6 2 • 10-] 1 ram. Head white. Palpi white, apical half of 

 second joint grey, scales somewhat projecting at apex, terminal joint 

 loosely scaled, with dark grey median ring. Basal joint of antennae 

 with apical tuft of scales anteriorly. Thorax white, some dark grey 

 irroration on shoulder. Forowings verynarrowly elongate-lanceolate ; 

 ochreous-whitish irregularly and suffusedly irrorated or clouded 

 brown ; a white fascia near base, upper half edged laterally and on 

 costa with black irroration, lower half expanded and unmargined, 

 reaching base ; three other narrow slightly oblique white fasciue 

 edged black irroration, first at ^, largely expanded posteriorly on 

 dorsal half, second hardly beyond middle, widest on costa, third 

 reduced to a costal spot and indistinct dorsal dot ; two slightly 

 curved white lines edged with a few black specks crossing wing 

 near apex ; a minute white blackish -edged apical dot : cilia whitish- 

 ochreous, beneath, apex a patch of white suffusion, round apex 

 some scattered black specks. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale greyisii.

Acrocercops zygonoma, n. sp. 



c? . 6 mm. Head, thorax white, shoulders sprinkled dark fuscous. 

 Palpi smooth, white, apical band of second joint and median ring 

 of terminal dark fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous, segmental

 slender similar fascia at | ; a downwards-bent oblitiue white

 closely followed on costa by a very small white spot connected with 

 it beneath ; a small white apical dot : cilia whitish, round apex

 whitish-grey. 



Bengal, Pusa, bred September from larvae mining under bark of 

 cotton (Gossi/pium) (Fletcher); 2 ex. Exceedingly similar to 

 isonoma, but groundcolour different, the subbasal spot on costa 

 forms in isonoma a complete fascia, and there are other differences ; 

 the larval habit is widely different. A very accurate figure (without 

 specific name) is given in lleport Agric. Bea. Inst. Pusa, 1019, pi. 7.
