J3pace between two anterior pale whitish-ochreous ; a round dnll golden- 

 Bjetallic raised tornal spot, edged laterally with blackish, and anteriorly faintly 

 ringed with pale yellowish ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with three fine fuscous 

 lines, innermost dark fuscous. Hindwings and cilia whitish. 



Three specimens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, in July (Green). Larva mines large 

 blister-like patches Cseveral larva; in one blister) in leaves of Plumlagu capeiisis 

 _separating the cuticle from the undersurfaco of the leaf (Green), 



Tonsa cityorrhoa n. sp. f 



$. 16. mm. Head white, loosely rough-haired on crown but not tufted^ 

 face pale yellow. Palpi, antennae, thorax, and abdomen pale whitish-yellow.. 

 Fore wings elongate, narrow, terminally dilated, costa slightly sinuate, apex 

 round-pointed, terraen concave, rather oblique, tornus prominent, round'- 

 pointed ; white, with series of pale fuscous transverse strigulae between Veins • 

 costal half except towards termen, and veins on termi-nal area suffused with 

 pala brassy-yellow ; margins of cell, and tornal veins dotted with dark fuscous ; 

 minute blaokish dots at apex and tornus : cilia whitish, becoming pale yellowish 

 posteriorly, with a dark brownish postmedian line. Hindwings whitish, towards 

 apex yellowish-tinged and with a few grey strigulse ; cilia white. 



Two specimens, Hantane, Ceylon, in March (G-reenj. This is very closely 

 allied to the other known species, but shows slight structural as well as super^ 

 ficial difEerences. The neuration is misinterpreted in my description of the 

 generic characters when dealing with the Australian T. imrclla, and should 

 be as follows :— Forewings with 2 and 3 stalked from angle and approximated 

 throughout, 4 absent, 5 connate or short-stalked with 2, 6 from middle of 

 ti'ansverse vein, 7 and 8 approximated at base or connate, 7 to termen, 9 absent, 

 10 absent, 11 from beyond middle of cell. Hindwings with 2 widely remote 

 from angle, 3 and 4 short-stalked from angle, 5 from middle of transverse 

 vein, 6 from angle of cell to beneath apex, 7 absent, 8 closely approximated to 

 cell and base of 6, then diverging, 



Struthisca n. g. 



Head loosely scaled ; ocelli absent ; tongue absent. Antennae 5-, in ^ bipec- Ali^^'. yft^ 

 linated or plumose to apex, basal joint short, thick. Labial palpi rather or very ■ ,, m., 

 short, slender, loosely scaled, pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae / -""^ / 

 smooth-scaled. Forewings with 1Z> furcate,^ and 8 stalked or approximated, \& / 2^' (?^?7^^ 

 to apex or costa, abiMut , 11 widely remote, from middle of cell, secondary cell 

 and parting-veins defined. Hindwiixgs \, elongate-ovate, cilia I ; 5 absent, G and 

 7 short-stalked or approximated, 8 free. ■ 



Type <S. sklerarcha. This genus is a development of Meladno, and shows 

 analogous variability of structure, but is easily separable by the absence of a vein 

 in both forewings and hindwings. 



Struthisca holoscia n. sp, 



(^. 1 3 — 15 mm. Head, palpi, antenna), thorax and abdomen grey ; palpi viery 

 short ; antennal pectinations extremely long, :| of length of antenna;. Forewings 

 moderately elongate, costa moderately arched, apex round -pointed^ termen very
