Dichomeris Hb. 
I agree with Durrant and Busck that it is advisable to adopt this name 
for the genus which I have hitherto called Ypsolophus. I have recorded four 
Indian species, vz., tanthes, Meyr. (== ochrophanes, Meyr.), decusella, Walk, 
(= alternella, Walk.), eridantis, Meyr., and bisignella, Snell. (=deltaspis. 
Meyr.), and now describe twelve more.

blackish. Antennal ciliations of ¢ 1. Abdomen grey. Forewings elon-
