minutely and not closely grannlose punctate, with distinct indi- 

 cations of stria3, intervals very faintly rugulose and delicately 

 subreticulately alutaceous, not perceptibly hispid ; humeral 

 angle dentiform. Length 4:^-41 lines. 

 No locality given. 



Myntis qiiadraticdllis, n. sp. 



Of a paler brown thaii preceding, head more strongly punc-

 fovGolately depressed at each side near the margins, sides more

Between Yangi Hissar and Sirikol, and Sirikol to Panga. 



These three forms may probably constitute but one very
