Jame 13, 1910.] Description of Indian Micro-Lepidoptera, ts 
discal ; sometimes some cloudy blackish marginal dots round apex: cilia pale 
grey, sprinkled with darker and whitish points, Hindwings grey, rather thinly 
scaled in dise and towards base ; cilia pale grey. 
Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole); in February, two specimens. Allied to seposé 
éella, but distinguished by the small size and very narrow forewings. 
Pseudodoxia picrophea, n, sp. 
&Q. 17-21 mm. Head and thorax dark fuscous, irrorated with whitish, 
Palpi whitish, suffusedly irrorated with dark fuscous except towards apex of 
joints, Antenne fuscous, Abdomen whitish-ochreous irrorated with grey. 
Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, termen 
extremely obliquely rounded ; fuscous, more or less irregularly sprinkled with 
‘darker, sometimes finely irrorated with whitish ; stigmata large, dark fuscous, 
plical rather before first discal ; some cloudy dark fuscous marginal dots round 
apex: cilia pale fuscous, more or less mixed with darker, and irrorated with 
pale points. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, with faint fuscous 
subbasal shade, 
Hakgala, Ceylon (Green) ; in March and April, three specimens. Larva 
feeding ina portable case on lichens growing on trunks and rocks (Green) ; 
case 27-31 mm, long, formed of sill covered with fragments of lichen, acutely 
tapering posteriorly, anterior half covered by an ovate hood, 10-12 mm. broad, 
extending as a ragged edge to below middle. The hood in this species is 
larger and more extensive than in sepositella, in which it does not reach mid- 
dle of case, and much more so than in limulus and cretata, in which the hood 
bears only a small proportion to the length of the long slender acute posterior 
portion, 
Pseudodoxia sepositella, Walk. 
I was in error in referring limulus Durr. to this species as a synonym; the 
two names indicate two very closely allied but distinct species ;_ my previous: 
note referred to the true limulus. P. sepositella is larger (18-21 mm.), grey or 
dark grey, without dark irroration but often somewhat whitish-sprinkled, with 
a black spot beneath costa near base, stigmata large, black, plical rather before 
first discal, with faint pale nearly straight subterminal line indented in middle, 
and black marginal dots ; head pale ochreous-yellowish, thorax grey suffused 
with blackish anteriorly. 
Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole); in January, February, and July, seven speci- 
mens. lLarya feeding like limulus; case intermediate in character between 
those of timulus and pierophwa, 
Pseudodozia ichnea, n, sp. 
@. 16-17 mm. Head and thorax pale greyish-ochreous with some scattered 
dark fuscous scales. Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint irrorated with dark 
fuscous except base and apex, Antenne pale greyish-ochreous. Abdomen 
grey, anal segment ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate,narrow, costa gently 
arched, apex round-pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; light fuscous. 
sprinkled with dark fuscous ; stigmata moderate, blackish-fuscous, plical obli-
