thick, simple, basal joint long, somewhat dilated with scales, with slight 
pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, somewhat diverging, second joint 
thickened with rather rough scales towards apex beneath, terminal joint 
longer than second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed 
to tongue. Posterior tibie with rough projecting scales from base to ? and 
apical group of expanded bristly scales, spurs with fine pecten of scales, 
tarsi with rough projecting tuft of scales above on basal joint, and some- 
what roughened with scales throughout. Forewings with 16 furcate, 2 
remote, 3-5 approximated, 7 and 8 out of 6, 7 to costa, 11 from middle, 
Hindwings 2, narrow-lanceolate, cilia 4; 2-5 remote, parallel, 6 and 7 
connate. 
Trissodoris honorartella, Wals. 
(Stagmatophora honorariella, Wals., Faun. Haw. 1, 515, pl. XV, 21; 
S. quadrifasciata, Wals., wid. 516, pl. XV, 22.) 
Ambilangoda, Weligama and Barberyn Island, Ceylon, from January to 
March eas Occurs also in New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, 
and is probably attached to some cultivated plant. I have examples from 
the localities quoted by Lord Walsingham ; there is only one species, the 
colour characters being variable, and the curious tuft on undersurface 
of forewings always present in d but absent in 2. 
EPIMARPTID&. 
The following curious genus may, I think, be regarded as the type of a 
new family, since I am unable to refer 1t to any existing group without 
doing violence to established characters. It differs from the Cosmop- 
terygide by the terminal ending of vein 7 of forewings, and the structural 
features of the antennz and palpi are peculiar. Superficially it has some 
resemblance to the Heliodinide (Stathmopoda group), but does not show the 
characteristic leg-structure of that family, nor agrees in other respects, and 
even the markings are really different, being based on the stigmata, which 
are never exhibited in the Heliodinide. Probably it is a development of 
the Oecophoride. 
Epimarptis, n. g. 
Head smooth, rounded; ocelli present; tongue developed. Antenne 
nearly 1, in ¢ simple, near base of stalk with a notch covered by an 
oblique tooth beneath it, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial 
palpi long, curved, ascending, with appressed scales, second joint with a 
projecting pencil of scales at apex above, terminal joint shorter than 
second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. 
Posterior tibize rough-haired above. Forewings with 2-5 very short, ap- 
proximated, 6 and 7 out of 8, 7 to termen, 11 from middle. Hind- 
wings i, narrow-lanceolate, cilia 4; 2-4 parallel, 5 absent, 6 and 7 
stalked. 
Epimarptis philocoma, n. sp. 
3. 11mm. Head ochreous whitish, crown slightly tinged with fuscous 
on sides, and behind with pale yellow. Palpi whitish, sprinkled with dark- 
fuscous. Antenne whitish. Thorax pale yellow. Abdomen pale whitish- 
ochreous. Forewings narrowly elongate-lanceolate, widest near base, 
long-pointed ; clear brassy-yellow ; basal third of costa sprinkled with 
dark-fuscous ; an ochreous-brown triangular patch with violet reflections 
extending along posterior half of dorsum and termen to apex, reaching 
more than half across wings, anterior edge obliquely marked with two 
silvery-lilac spots sprinkled with blackish representing plical and first 
discal stigmata, plical anterior ; a less marked similar spot above 
tornus apparently representing second discal stigma: cilia yellow- 
ochreous, beneath tornus tinged with fuscous, on termen and dorsum
