fusceus, Palpi and antenne fuscous-whitish. Abdomen pale grey. Fore- 
wings elongate, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, termen very 
obliquely rounded ; shining bronzy-ochreous tinged with fuscous ; markings 
shining white ; a basal patch occupying rather more than 4 of wing, outer 
edge angulated in disc, enclosing dark fuscous marks on base of costa and 
dorsum, and a striga of groundcolour mixed with dark fuscous from dorsum 
at 3, reaching half across wing; a spot on dorsum close beyond this, and 
two smaller adjacent spots on fold and dorsum respectively ; seven oblique 
wedgeshaped costal marks between this and apex; a subtriangular spot on 
dorsum before tornus, edged with dark fuscous and surmounted by a curv- 
ed streak; a longitudinal streak in disc above this, followed by an undefined 
longitudinal patch of dark fuscous irroration : cilia bronzy-whitish, at apex 
with two diverging dark fuscous bars, on costa barred with dark fuscous, on 
termen with a dark fuscous subbasal line. Hindwings light grey ; cilia 
whitish. 
Patipola, Ceylon, in September (Alston) ; one specimen, 
Tinea melanochrysa, n. sp. 
3. 11-l4mm. Head, palpi, antenn, and thorax blackish. Abdomen

apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded; shining ochreous-yellow ; 
markings brown more or less suffused with dark fuscous; a broad irregular 
streak along costa, dilated in middle where it reaches half across wing, on 
apical fourth often variably reduced in width and enclosing a white margi- 
nal striga which is sometimes once or twice interrupted; a rather broad 
streak from dorsum beyond middle along termen to apex, sometimes 
extending to base, somewhat whitish-sprinkled, above tornus rather 
triangularly prominent, in one specimen broadly confluent here with 
projection of costal streak: cilia yellow, on costa and round apex with a 
strong dark fuscous basal line, at apex with a dark fuscous bar, Hind- 
wings and cilia dark grey. 
Khasis, n May and June; eight specimens. 
Tinea canicoma, n. sp. 
3 2. 14-17 mm. Head white, face, palpi, and antenne blackish.

apex obtuse, termen extremely obliquely rounded; light bronzy-ochreous- 
yellow, sometimes suffused with white on margins of dark markings; a 
broad dark fuscous costal streak from base to 3, widest in middle of wing ; 
beyond this a white striga along costa to apex, partially edged anteriorly 
with blackish; a dark fuscous streak from base along dorsum to origin of 
cilia, thence continued as a broader brown or deeper yellow streak edged 
with blackish to apex, on tornus somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous and 
projecting upwards: cilia ochreous-yellow, round costa and apex with
