122 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Descriptions of 



Not a true Gracilaria, the maxillary palpi being scarcely visible, 

 and the hind margin of the anterior wings rather falcate ; in 

 general appearance it reminds one much of a dwarf Chaidiodus 

 Chcerophyllellus, but there are no tufts of scales projecting on the 

 inner margin, and the antennae are nearly twice the length of the 

 anterior wings. 



Head greyish-ochreous ; face and palpi white ; antennae brown- 

 ish, spotted with yellow on the back, beneath entirely yellowish. 



Anterior wings greyish-ochreous, spotted with brownish along 

 the inner margin, and with two oblique brownish fasciae, one before 

 the other beyond the middle ; the cilia of the hind margin are shot 

 with orange-brown and violet, appearing in some positions of the 

 one colour, and in other positions of the other tint; cilia of the 

 inner margin grey. Posterior wings pale grey, with greyish- 

 brown cilia. 



Hind legs and tarsi whitish, spotted with dark brown. 



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

 Mr. Atkinson. 



18. Ornix'i albi/rons, n. sp. 



Alls anticis fuscis, dorsum versus albis, strigulis tribus costae, 

 tribus dorsi obliquis albis, apice ustulalo, puncto nigricante.

Probably this should form a new genus intermediate between 

 Ornix and Lithocolletis ; it differs from both in the face being 

 rough. 



Head and face white ; palpi white ; antennae whitish-grey. 



Anterior wings pale brownish, with the inner margin white, 

 and with three pair of oblique white streaks from each margin, 

 meeting in the centre of the wing ; the first two pair are placed very 

 obliquely, but the third pair is less so and is followed by a curved 

 transverse silvery line ; the apical portion of the wing is occupied 

 by a tawny patch, in which is a darker central spot ; cilia white, 

 but intersected by a dark grey line going round the apex (as in 

 Lithocolletis). Posterior wings pale grey, with paler cilia. 



I have before me one specimen, taken by Mr. Atkinson, near 

 Calcutta. 



19. Cosmopteryx Asiatica, n. sp. 



Alis anticis brunneis, fascia aenea prope basim, fascia violacea 

 atro-marginata in medio, maculis duabus suboppositis violaceis
