SCALY WINGED COPEOGNATHA. 65 
which is interrupted by black brown marking (fig. 7), rather variable ; 
the veins are generally seamed with yellow, feebly golden scales, 
which more or less disappear in dark specimens, but numerous yellow 
scales are always found. The brown marking is illustrated in fig. 
7, and is very similar to that of Amphientomum paradoxum, Hag., 
from the amber; frequently it spreads still more over the wing, 
sometimes it becomes somewhat reduced especially in the apex. 
In the hind wing the scaling of the outer margin is only slightly 
continued in the apex into the membrane, the latter iridescent 
intense violet, red to golden. 
The scales of the fore wing are long, slender, with parallel sides 
and moderately emarginate ends (fig. 28) ; marginal scales slender, 
rather narrow, with two generally very long apices. Scales of the 
outer margin of the hind wing similarly deeply bifid at the end. 
Length of fore wing 2°6-3'4 mm. ; expanse of wings 6-8 mm. 
Ceylon, Peradeniya, on moist walls. January, 1905, sixteen 
specimens, probably all female. June, 1905, one specimen. Col- 
lected by Mr. E. E. Green. 
I have dedicated this species to Mr. Nietner, who collected, 
with so much interesting material of other orders in Ceylon, the 
examples of the Amphientomides and Lepidopsocids diagnosed by 
Hagen. 
Stimulopalpus, n. g. 
The first radial branch is lacking in the hind wing. Maxillary 
palp (fig. 130) with spurs at thesecond, third, and fourth joints. 
Claws (fig. 128) with one tooth before the apex. Hind tibia with 
numerous spurs. 
One large species from Japan. 
Scales of the fore wing (fig. 129) deeply emarginate, especially the 
marginal scales (rs), which have two long to very long apices ; scales 
of hind wing resembling the latter. 
Stimulopalpus japonicus, n. sp. 
Plate C., Figs. 127-130. 
Head pale grayish white ; upper lip and clypeus dark brown, as 
are also the sides of the forehead and a narrow median cross bar 
before the anterior ocellus upon the forehead. 
The vertex is brown except fora large round spot in the middie of - 
each half, and the distinct suture of the vertex. The neighbourhood 
of the ocelli is grayish white. 
Antenne very thin, about three-fourths the length of the fore wing ; 
dark brown with excéption of the first three joints; sparsely
