SCALY WINGED COPEOGNATHA, 97 
the tarsal joints in the fore foot are : 0:23, 0:05, 0°06 mm. ; in the 
middle foot 0°32, 0°06, 0°07 mm. ; in the hind foot 0°43, 0:07, 0:07 
mm. ‘The ratio of the hind tarsal joints is therefore as 6: 1 : 1. 
First hind tarsal joint with about 20 ctenidiobothria. Claws (fig. 77) 
slender, with thin apex and stout tooth rather far before the apex ; 
empodial appendix setiform. Hind leg represented in fig. 117. 
Wings relatively narrow, acuminate. Wing membrane hyaline. 
Pterostigma rather narrow (fig. 82); m1 enters precisely into the 
wing apex. Scaling of fore wing brown (cover scales), ground 
scales pale brown-yellow with strong silken lustre. At the margin 
between every two vein terminations large silvery to silken spots, 
likewise the distal half of the axillary and anal cells. The marginal 
spot between m, and cu, expands to a large acute angled triangle, 
which extends to the wing centre, its apex being directed towards 
the wing base (fig. 20). Marginal hair long and brown. Hind 
wing with moderately narrow radial cell (R); veins pale brown ; 
marginal hair (pubescence) long and brown, at the hinder border 
very long; membrane of the apical half pubescent; 7,4, ends 
exactly in the wing apex ; membrane strongly iridescent green to red. 
Ground scales (fig. 83) somewhat ovate with the acuminate end 
strongly set off. Cover scales (ds) elongate with stout apex. 
Marginal scales (vrs) slender, fusiform. 
Length of fore wing 2°6 mm., wing expanse 6 mm. 
Ceylon. Peradeniya, under papers in a room; January, 1905, 
four specimens; February, 1905, two specimens, collected by Mr. 
EK. E. Green. 
Nepticulomima Essigkeana, n. sp. (Figs 17. 79, 84, 85). 
Head pale brownish yellow ; small brown spots occur at the suture 
of the vertex, a row of 3 or 4 on each side approximately parallel 
to the inner eye-border, at the base of the antennz, 2 on the forehead. 
The base of the ocelli and the upper lip are also brown. Clypeus 
sometimes faintly brownish. The long hair on forehead and vertex 
pale brown-yellow and shaggy. Eyes spherical, black-brown, 
pubescence stout, moderately compact and relatively long. The 
ocelli are placed far apart, and are arranged in a very flat triangle, 
so that the distance between the two posterior ocelli is almost twice 
as great as that between the anterior and a posterior ocellus; the 
latter distance is more than twice as great as the space between a 
posterior ocellus and the eye-border. Antenne pale brownish 
yellow, becoming gray towards the apex ; the anterior side of the 
two (in this species) very greatly developed basal joints brown.
