102 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
The whole body clear yellow-brown. Head with compact and 
long hair. The three ocelli standing far apart, yellow, finely rimmed 
with black brown. Sutures distinct. Upper lip gray-brown, 
clypeus small, very faintly convex ; clypeolus rudimentary. Kyes 
fairly large, finely pubescent, black. Occipital margin rather _ 
sharp angled. 
Legs likewise clear yellow-brown up to the claws. Tibiz, 
especially the hind tibiz, with long set. The spiny comb of each 
seta of the inner setigerous row of the first tarsal joints little distinct, 
clear yellow-brown. First hind tarsal joint compactly but rather 
finely setigerous. Ratio of the hind tarsal joints as 5:1: 1. 
Fore wing pale brown, thickly beset with clear brownish scales. 
As the scales are much rubbed away the pattern of the fore wing 
cannot be recognised. Hind wing hyaline, colourless, with scanty 
but long hairs on the margin, on the veins of the apical half and the 
membrane. In the fore wing m4, in the hind wing 7,+, enter 
exactly into the wing apex. 
Length of fore wing 2} mm.; wing expanse 5 mm.

“This species is similar to P. trichopteryx in form, size, and colour- 
ing. Thus I should not have separated it, but for a difference in 
the details of the venation. In the inferior wings the transverse 
vein on the anterior margin is emitted from the superior branch (1), 
while in P. trichopteryx it is emitted before the point whence this 
branch departs. 
‘‘T admit that this difference alone is perhaps too slight to justify 
the formation of a distinct species, especially as in one individual out 
of five of P. trichopteryx now before me, the transverse vein is 
emitted precisely from the point of departure of the superior branch 
(1); but as the determination of insects in copal is always rather 
difficult, I have thought it best to note the species as distinct until 
more material shall prove to the contrary.

from Baron Osten-Sacken. ” 
The description of the venation of the hind wing renders its 
position in the genus Nepticulomima certain.
