Species of Indian Micro- Lepidoptera. 123 



atro-marginatis pone medium, spatio inter has et fasciam in- 

 terjecto aurantio, strigulaque apicis violacea. 

 Exp. al. S\, lin. 



This belongs to tlie Drurella group, but is readily distinguished 

 by the brown ground colour of the anterior wings, and the second 

 violet fascia being divided into two opposite spots. 



Head brassy-brown ; face whitish-green ; palpi whitish-grey, 

 with a broad dark ring below the tip of the terminal joint ; an- 

 tennae brown, annulated with yellowish, the rings towards the 

 apex broad and strongly contrasted. 



Anterior wings brown ; not far from the base is a bronzy fascia, 

 which really consists of three bronzy longitudinal lines, that next 

 the costa being the longest ; in the middle of the wing is a straight 

 violet fascia edged with black, beyond it is a broad orange patch, 

 and then follow two violet spots edged with black, that on the 

 costa being decidedly posterior to the dorsal spot ; the apical 

 portion of the wing is black, with a whitish-violet streak running 

 into the extreme apex ; cilia blackish. Posterior wings dark grey, 

 with grey cilia. 



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

 near Calcutta. 



20. Cosmopteryx 1 semicoccinea, n. sp. 



Alls anticis basim versus coccineis viridi-griseo lineatis, postice 



luteis. 

 Exp. al. Og lin. 



A pretty species, but of rather uncertain location ; neither the 

 anterior nor the posterior wings are narrow enough for a true 

 Cosmopteryx. 



Head greyish-ochreous ; face pale ochreous ; palpi pale ochre- 

 ous, terminal joint with a brown line externally and a brown ring 

 below the apex ; antennae brown along the back, spotted with pale 

 ochreous, beneath entirely pale ochreous. 



Anterior wings scarlet at the base, the apical half pale yellow- 

 ish ; the basal portion is streaked longitudinally with greenish- 

 grey, one streak running along the costa, one along the inner 

 margin, one along the fold, and two others go obliquely from the 

 costa to the fold ; the scarlet portion of the wing extends rather 

 beyond the middle, and is bounded by a silvery-yellowish line; in 

 the yellow portion of the wing are two small black spots on the 

 costa ; cilia ochreous-grey. Posterior wings pale grey, with 

 greyish cilia.
