564 EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA, 



obscurely strigulated obliquely with whitish throughout ; posterior 

 margin of ocellus marked by a silver3--metallic streak before 

 termen, preceded by two or three small indistinct blackish dots : 

 cilia light ochreous, basal half irrorated with whitish, at apex with 

 a fuscous patch. Hiudwings grey ; cilia whitish-grey, with grey 

 subbasal line, on dorsal edge with a fringe of very long spreading 

 dark fuscous hairs; 5 parallel to 4, straight, 6 and 7 closely approxi- 

 mated to near apex, space between 5 aud 6 on lower surface from 

 before middle to termeu filled with modified short spatulate whitish- 

 ochreous scales. 



Bengal, Pusa, bred in May from larvje feeding in pods of Cajanus 

 indicus (Fletcher); two specimens. The abnormal structure of 

 vein 5 of hiudwings, which caused me at first to doubt the generic 

 location, is apparently only a sijecific peculiarity caused by the 

 local development of androconia, the rest of the structure aud 

 affinities being all consonant with Eucosma.
