obtuse, termen rounded, rather strongly oblique; 9 separate ; ochreous- 
yellow, with some scattered dark fuscous scales ; a small dark fuscous spot 
on base of costa; plical and first discal stigmata represented by small 
nearly adjacent dark fuscous spots, former slightly anterior ; a triangular 
dark fuscous blotch on costa about 3, its apex produced and reaching 3 
across: wing ; a cloudy dark fuscous streak along upper ? of termen: cilia 
ochreous-yellow, above apex with a dark fuscous bar. Hindwings pale 
ochreous-yellowish ; a dark grey streak along termen, on lower half more 
broadly suffused with lighter grey, and connected with an oblique dark

Khasis, in June ; two specimens. 
Lecithocera, H. 8. 
Head with appressed scales; ocelli absent; tongue developed. Antenns: 
1 or over 1, more or less thickened towards base, in ¢ simple, basal 
joint moderate, without peeten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 
thickened with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second or longer, 
slender, acute, or seldom in ¢ obtuse. Maxillary palpi very short, 
filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibize clothed with hairs above. 
Forewings with 3 out of 2 or seldom absent, 4 seldom out of 2 or sometimes 
stalked with 5, 7 to apex or termen, 8 and usually 9 out of 7, or seldom 
8 and 9 stalked, 7 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1 or somewhat 
over |, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 3—*; 3 and 4 connate or 
stalked or sometimes coincident, 5 rather approximated, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Type L. luticornella, H. S. There has been much confusion about the 
specific identity of the type of this genus, but I now find the original 
description of Herrich-Schaeffer eorrect in every particular. The generic 
names Tiriza, Walk., Thubana, Walk., Tiva, Walk., Inapha, Walk., Patouwissa 
Walk., Adelomorpha, Snell., and Macrotona, Meyr. are synonyms of this. 
Lecithocera bullulata, n. sp. 
3d. 17mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi white, second joint infuscated 
on lower half. Antenne whitish. Thorax whitish, posteriorly infuscated, 
marked with dark fuscous on anterior edge. Abdomen ochreous-whitish 
mixed with fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex round- 
pointed, termen gently concave, oblique; 3 and 4 out of 2,8 and 9 out of 7; 
ochreous-whitish, suffused with pale brownish except a triangular blotch on 
middle of costa reaching half across wing, and an undefined transverse 
patch before termen ; a small costal mark of dark fuscous suffusion on each 
side of costal blotch, and a transverse-crescentic dark fuscous mark adjoin- 
ing its apex posteriorly; a bar of fuscous suffusion near base, some fuscous 
irroration in disc and towards dorsum before middle, and a cloudy streak 
of fuscous suffusion along termen: cilia ochreous-whitish, with two fuscous
