•wing, marked ou costa anteriorly with two short blackish whitish- 

 edged marks, a small pale golden-metallic spot on tornns sur- 

 mounted by a black dot, and sometimes a second small golden- 

 metallic spot on termen below middle : cilia pale ochreous-yellowish,

 above apex somewhat tinged with yellow-wbitish. 



CooEG, Dibidi, 3500 feet, in May and Noveiuber (Newcome) • 

 S. India, Nilgiris, 7000 feet, in March (Andrewes) ; three speci- 

 mens. At first sight extremely like semicoccinea, but in that 

 species the two grey discal streaks are both interrupted, and the 

 anterior segment of the upper is connected with the posterior seg- 

 ment of the lower, the first costal blackish mark is usually 

 transformed into a conspicuous black dot (not in two specimens 

 from Queensland), and the tornal spot is without black dot. 



Pyroderces paropis, n. sp. 



J 2 . 11-14 mm. Head light bronzy, face and orbits ochreous- 

 white. Palpi white, second joint whitish-brunzy except apex, 

 terminal joint with base and two very oblique rings dark grey. 

 Thorax bronzy-fuscous, with three fine white lines. Abdomen 

 ochreous-whitish, two basal segments palebronzy-ochreous. Eore- 

 wings narrow-lanceolate, apex acutely produced ; bronzj'-brown ; 

 very fine white lines as follows, viz., one sinuate oblique from 

 beneath base of costa to i, one short longitudinal from beneath 

 apex of this, one just beneath costa from near base to first costal 

 mark, one slightly oblique longitudinal above middle from -^ to 

 tornal patch, with a short inwardly oblique downwards-recurrent 

 line from its apex, one along fold from base not quite reaching 

 tornal patch and usually interrupted in middle, one sliort reversed- 

 oblique beneath the interruption, and one along dorsum from base 

 to beyond middle ; a rounded pale yellow tornal blotch, anteriorly 

 edged by a silvery-white mark whose apex is followed by a black 

 dot, above receiving two blackish white-margined marks from 

 costa, and posteriorly extended as an attenuated streak aloug 

 termen to apex : cilia whitish-yellowish, towards tornus tinged 

 with grey, on costa pale brownish. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale 

 grey. 



Ceylon, Maskeliya, in November (Alston) ; eight specimens, 

 P. albiJineella, which I have also from Ceylon and the Kei Islands, 

 may be readily distinguished by the absence of the recurrent line 

 preceding tornal patch. 



Pyroderces citracma, n. sp. 



J 5 . 11-15 mm. Head light bronzy-fuscous, face and orbits 

 white. Palpi whitish, terminal joint with base and two very
