1911.] E. Brunetti : Neiu Oriental Neniocera 299 



In the type specimen (the only one now existing, as the one dated 

 i-i-05 has been accidental!}' destroyed) there is absolutel}^ no trace 

 of any such scales, either at the base of the wing or elsewhere on 

 it, with the exception of the very small ones that compose the 

 wing-margin spots. 



The pinned specimen dated 30-i-05 is the type ; the third 

 specimen (which is mounted on a slide, and which shows the 

 scales mentioned), not belonging to this species. 



Psychoda decora, niihi, sp. nov. 



? . South India. Long, i mm. 



Body covered with blackish hair, the thorax covered with 

 bright yellowish brown hair. Antennae with the pubescence 

 rather closely compressed, as in P. nigripennis. Legs brown, 

 normally scaled and pubescent. 



Wings with dark brown and blackish hairs co\-ering the sur- 

 face as well as the veins. Two inconspicuous and incomplete 

 narrow transverse lines passing across the wing similar in position 

 to those in P. transversa, composed of light brown or yellowish 

 brown hairs, placed in small sections. Two distinct black spots 

 near the base of the wing, composed of stiff, erect long black 

 thickened hairs, one spot on the base of the 2nd vein, just before 

 the fork, and the other on the anterior branch just beyond the 

 fork. The wing-fringe is greyish, with blacker sections here and 

 there, the hair is also darker along the costa. 



Described from one 9 in the Indian Museum taken by 

 Dr. Annandale at Tenmalai, Travancore State, South India, 

 22-xi-o8. 



Psychoda maculipcnnis, mihi, sp. nov. 



? cf . Ceylon. Long, i mm. 



Budy with rich dark brown hair towards sides of dorsum, 

 yellowish grey in middle and anteriorly, deep blackish brown on 

 abdomen. Antennae with verticillate hairs thick and close, 

 brownish, but showing greyish reflection. Palpi black with grey 

 scales; grey scales on face, black bristly hair on frons ; grej' hair 

 on vertex. 



Legs brownish, with concolorous bristly hair and scales ; 

 tarsi with dirty grey scales. 



Wings with surface as well as veins closely covered with dark 

 brown hairs. Wing-border with a narrow fringe of black hairs, 

 which is tolerably well defined from the longer greyish fringe 

 around the whole margin. At numerous and apparently irregular 

 intervals these short black hairs are replaced by white or greyish 

 ones, and along most of the veins irregularly placed, and at the 

 tips of most of the veins are very small spots composed of a few 

 white hairs. These small white spots (to the extent of twenty or 

 more) give the whole wing a spotted appearance that innnediately 

 distinguishes it from all other species.
