SCALY WINGED COPEOGNATHA. 59 
inwards seamed with black: parallel to the inner seam a golden 
band which turns inwards and ends shortly before the re-entering 
angle [‘‘einspringende Ecke’’] of the outer margin, in which a 
silvery white spot bordered with golden scales occurs ; the black 
hinder border of the wing apex with fine golden seam. Hinder 
border except middle and base seamed with gold ; wing base golden. 
Hind wing hyaline, apical quarter with very slender pale brown 
scales ; the ends of r,45,m, cw, and an scaly ; hinder border long 
and densely pubescent. Membrane of the hind wing iridescent 
from green to intense red. Venation and scaling are explained in 
the diagnosis of the genus. 
Length of fore wing in male 4 mm., in female 4:2 mm.; wing 
expanse in male 9 mm., in female 10 mm. 
Ceylon. Peradeniya; on tree trunks; February, 1905. Seven 
males (6 in alcohol) and eight females (1 in alcohol). Again

uarge forms, only known fossil in amber. Differs from the 
nearly related recent genera Paramphientomum, n. g., Stimulopsis, 
n.g., and Seopsis, n. g., by the absence of the radial branch 7, from 
the hind wing ; from the two last-named genera it also differs in the 
fact that the claws carry two teeth before lace apex. Maxillary 
palp without spurs.
