June 13, 1910.] Description of Indian Micro-Lepidoptera, 149- 
ring. Antenne whitish-ochreous, ringed or suffused with dark fuscous, Thorax 
dark fuscous, Abdomen ochreous-yellowish suffusedly banded with fuscous, 
Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen 
very obliquely rounded ; 2 and 3 short-stalked ; dark fuscous, more or less 
sprinkled with whitish-ochreous ; a small black spot at base beneath costa, and 
one on dorsum near base; a black subcostal tuft towards base ; stigmata 
moderately large; raised, black, plical slightly before first discal, these two 
together with costal and dorsal black spots tending to form an interrupted 
rather bent transverse line, second discal sometimes pale-edged, with an 
additional spot beneath it ; a pale ochreous-yellowish subtriangular blotch on 
costa about 3, whence proceeds a very indistinct whitish-ochreous angulated 
~ jine to dorsum before tornus : cilia fuscous somewhat mixed with dark fuscous, 
base suffused with whitish-ochreous. Hindwings in @ light fuscous, in Q 
rather dark fuscous ; cilia light fuscous. 
N. Coorg, 3,590 feet (Newcome) ; in June, October, and November, four 
specimens, 
Macrosaces hemilyca, n. sp. 
@@. 11-13mm, Head and thorax rather dark fuscous, somewhat sprin- 
kled with whitish-ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous sprinkled with blackish, 
second joint moderately thickened, terminal joint as long as second, with two 
broad blackish bands occupying nearly all of it. Antenne whitish-ochreous 
more or less suffused with fuscous, and ringed with dark fuscous. Abdomen 
fuscous. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, ter- 
men very obliquely rounded; 3 separate or short stalked with 2; dark fuscous 
base of scales whitish-ochreous ; a blackish subcostal tuft near base ; a cloudy 
blackish raised rather curved direct transverse shade at 2 edged posteriorly 
more or less widely with whitish-ochreous suffusion ; second discal stigma 
raised, cloudy, blackish, with an additional less marked dot below it ; a rather 
large spot of whitish-ochreous suffusion on costa about #, whence an indistinct 
angulated cloudy whitish-ochreous line runs to dorsum before tornus, edged 
anteriorly with blackish irroration : cilia fuscous mixed with darker, sometimes 
sprinkled with whitish-ochreous points, base whitish-ochreous. Hindwings 
rather dark fuscous, anterior half sometimes pale whitish-ochreous ; cilia 
fuscous. 
Palnis, 6,000 feet (Campbell) ; four specimens. The variation in the colour 
of hindwings is singular; it is not sexual, as the specimens include male and 
female of each form ; and as the two forms agree in other respects, especially 
in the characteristic markings of the palpi, and are from the same locality, it ig 
improbable that they are specifically distinct. Iregard the form with the basal 
half of hindwings pale as being the type, and think the other form with 
hindwings wholly dark deserves a varietal name ; I therefore name it var. 
ecliptica, 
Macrosaces orphania, n. sp. 
@ 15-16 mm. Head pale ochreous, crown irrorated with dark fuscous,
