basal line finely edged with .ochreous-white, more broadly at apex. Hind- 
wings dark fuscous, thinly scaled on basal half; cilia iridescent-whitish 
with dark fuscous basal line. 
Maskeliya, Ceylon (Alston); Palnis (Campbell); Khasis ; from May to 
October, eight specimens. 
Laspeyresia turifera, a. sp. 
3d. 13 mm. Head yellow, side tufts of crown dark fuscous. Palpi 
_ yellow, base brownish. Thorax and abdomen dark fuscous. Forewings 
moderate, posteriorly dilated, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen 
rounded, little oblique ; dark brownish, strigulated with dark fuseous; a 
broad bright yellow transverse band extending from near base to middle 
posterior edge straight, vertical, rather irregular, costal edge strigulated 
with dark fuscous: cilia brownish with two dark fuscous shades. Hind- 
wings with 6 and 7 approximated towards base; dark fuscous ; cilia grey 
with dark fuscous basal line. 
Khasis ; in March, one specimen. 
Laspeyresia prinugena, 0. sp. 
¢. 11-13 mm. Head with appressed scales, blackish reticulated with 
whitish. Palpi transversely compressed, white, with black anterior streak. 
Thorax blackish transversely barred with whitish. Forewings rather 
elongate-triangular, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded 
somewhat oblique ; bronzy-blackish ; basal 2 of wing sharply strigulated with 
whitish ; apatch of about four incurved whitish strize from middle of dorsum 
reaching 2 across wing, apices tending to be broken up and connected int« 
longitudinal strize ; several ochreous-white strigulee from costa posteriorly 
whence proceed some faint oblique strigze of whitish irroration, and two o1 
three short oblique shining blue-metallic strigze ; a shining blue-metallic 
dot in disc beyond middle; ocellus marked with two transverse ochreous 
whitish streaks and enclosed by shining blue-metallic streaks, interioi 
broken into spots; a short shining blue-metallic mark beneath apex : 
cilia rather dark purple-fuscous, with black basal line. Hindwings with € 
and 7 approximated towards base; blackish-fuscous; a thinly scaled 
fuscous-whitish elongate patch extending in disc from base to beyonc 
middle ; cilia white, with blackish basal line. 
Khasis ; in October and November, two specimens. The peculiar cha? 
acter of the palpi and head appears to show undoubted affinity to t} 
Glyphipterygide marking this as an early type of the genus; but the neu 
tion is as in typical forms of Laspeyresia.
