Myrmecozela metrophora, n. sp. 
d. 12-14 mm. Head greyish-ochreous, face whitish-ochreous. Palpi 
whitish-ochreous mixed with dark fuscous. Antennz and abdomen dark 
fuscous. Thorax fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 
apex rounded-obtuse, termen rounded, rather strongly oblique ; fuscous 
or ochreous-fuscous, more or less suffusedly irrorated with dark fuscous ; 
costa and termen regularly marked throughout with suffused dark fuscous 
spots; a suffused dark fuscous spot in dise at 3: cilia light brownish- 
ochreous or fuscous, obscurely barred with dark fuscous irroration. 
Hindwings and cilia rather dark fuscous. 
Ajmere, in July ; three specimens. 
Sapheneutis galerita, n. sp. 
g.15mm. Head and palpi dark fuscous. Antenne whitish-ochreous, 
basal joint dark fuscous, ciliations 23. Thorax whitish-ochreous, anterior 
half dark fuscous. Abdomen pale whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, 
moderate, costa gently arched, apex rounded-obtuse, termen obliquely 
rounded; 7 and 8 separate ; whitish-yellowish ; costal edge dark fuscous 
towards base; a round blackish dot in dise at 4: cilia whitish-yellowish. 
Hindwings and cilia yellow-whitish. 
Sikkim, 4,500 feet, in August (Dudgeon); one specimen. Allied to 
S. metacentra. 
Macheropteris, Wals. 
Head rough-scaled; ocelli present; tongue absent. Antenne under 3, 
in ¢ very slender, simple, basal joint short. Labial palpi moderate, 
second joint clothed with long dense projecting tuft of rough scales 
beneath and expanded bristles or long rough hair scales laterally and at 
apex above, terminal joint short, slender, obtuse, ascending, more or less 
concealed in scales of second joint. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Thorax 
with posterior crest. Anterior tibize and tarsi short, posterior tibie rough- 
haired above, in ¢ with these hairs usually more or less elongate and 
expansible. Forewings with numerous tufts and ridges of raised scales 
on surface; 2 from angle, sometimes stalked with 8, 7 to costa or apex, 
separate or stalked or coincident with 8, 9 and 10 sometimes appro- 
ximated or short-stalked, 11 from before middle. Hindwings 1, elongate- 
ovate, cilia 3; 2-7 separate, 5 and 6 more or less approximated at 
base. 
Type phenaz, Meyr. (receptella, Wals., nee Walk.). This curious genus at 
first seems to present difliculties, as the obseurely-coloured species have 
usually no defined markings, and are apparently seldom obtained in good 
condition ; but on examination of the form of wing and neuration they 
are found to be really easily determinable. The antennz are unusually. 
short and slight, and I know no other genus of Lepidoptera in which they 
are so slender and weak in the ¢. Dasyses, Durr., and Trachycentra, Meyr.,
