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



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

 Calcutta. 



21. Cosmopteryxl ceneella, n. sp. 



Alis anticis seneis, basi, fasciaque ante medium dorsum versus 

 dilatata, dilute luteis. 



Exp. al. 6 lin. 



This species only appears to differ from Cosmopteryx in the 

 greater breadth of the anterior wings; it reminds one considerably 

 of Stathmopoda pcdella, but the resemblance is only superficial, as 

 in the structure of the legs and antennas the insect appears to be 

 a true Cosmopteryx. 



Head and face brassy brown j second joint of the palpi pale 

 yellowish, terminal joint brownish ; antennae brownish. 



Anterior wings bronzy, greenish towards the base, posteriorly 

 browner; at the base itself is a narrow pale yellow fascia, and be- 

 fore the middle is another broader yellow band, which is almost 

 triangular, being much broader on the inner margin than on the 

 costa; in the apex of the wing there is faint indication of a dark 

 streak, with a pale streak below it; cilia brownish-grey. Posterior 

 wings brown, with greyish-brown cilia. 



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

 Calcutta. 



LOZOSTOMA, n. g. 



Head smooth ; face concave, retreating, with a fillet on the top 

 between the antennae; palpi short, drooping; antennae rather thick, 

 but simple ; the basal joint thickened. 



Anterior wings narrow and pointed behind ; posterior wings 

 lanceolate. 



A pretty genus, belonging to the family Elachistidce. I have 

 before me single specimens of two species, Flavojasc'iata and 

 Semisulphurea, collected by Mr. Atkinson, near Calcutta. 



22. LozostomaJIavofasciata, n. sp. 



Alis anticis saturate purpureis, fascia media late flava. 



Exp. al. 4 lin. 



Head greenish-brown, rather metallic ; face white, the fillet 

 greenish-white ; palpi white ; antennae greyish-brown. 



Anterior wings dark purple, more greyish at the base, with a 

 broad dark yellow fascia nearly in the middle, very nearly straight, 

 but rather nearer the base on the inner margin than on the costa. 

 Posterior wings coppery-brown, paler at the base.
