Species of Indian Micro-Lepidoplera. 121 



costa spotted with dark brown, or black, two spots beyond the 

 middle being very conspicuous; along the inner margin are three 

 distinct tufts of brown scales; the entire tip of the wing of a 

 tawny-golden colour, intersected by a slender angulated silvery 

 fascia, and spotted along the costa with whitish-yellow and black- 

 ish, and with a bluish-silvery hinder marginal line; cilia greyish- 

 brown, with a few long black scales projecting at the apex. Pos- 

 terior wings brown, with yellowish brown cilia. 



I have before me two specimens, collected by Mr. Atkinson, 

 near Calcutta.

Alis anticis brunneis, basim versus saturatioribus, linea trans- 

 versali dilute ochrea prope basim, macula dorsi media ni- 

 gricante ochreo-circumcincta, linea ochrea ab angulo anale ad 

 apicem ducta, margine postico nigricante.

This rather obscure looking insect has much superficial re- 

 semblance with Corisc'mm orientale, but differs essentially in the 

 structure of the palpi. I am doubtful whether it be a true Gra- 

 cilaria; the antennee of the only specimen I have before me are 

 broken, but the falcate apex of the anterior wings is very dis- 

 cordant from all known Grncilaiice except G. 1 ustulalella, the 

 precise position of which is also doubtful. In some respects it 

 reminds one oi Pyroderces argyrogrammos, but the palpi are too 

 short. 



Head pale brown ; face whitish ochreous. Palpi whitish, no 

 trace of a tuft to the second joint, terminal joint with three black 

 rings. Antennae dark brown, annulated with pale ochreous. 



Anterior wings brown, with a darker blotch at the base, bounded 

 externally by a wavy transverse pale ochreous line ; on the middle 

 of the inner margin is an irregular brown-black blotch, edged 

 with pale ochreous, and a curved pale ochreous line runs from 

 the anal angle to the apex, beyond it the hind margin is dark 

 brownish-black ; apical cilia brownish, intersected by two curved 

 blue lines ; cilia below the apex dark grey. Posterior wings dark 

 grey, with dark grey cilia. 



I have before me only a single specimen, taken near Calcutta by 

 Mr. Atkinson.
