INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 145 



enclosing an ochreous-yellowish hair-pencil from base ; a dark fuscous terminal 

 line ; cilia whitish-ochreous, becoming ochreous-yellowish towards base, with 

 fuscous subbasal line. 



Five specimens, Maskeliya and Maturatta, Ceylon, in March, May, June, and 

 October (Pole, de Mowbray). 



Timyra orthadia, n. sp. 



$ 9. 16-18 mm. Head whitish-ochreous mixed with fuscous. Palpi very 

 long, whitish, in $ second joint much elongated, flatly compressed, clothed 

 with very long whitish hairs above and beneath, terminal joint short, greyish, 

 thickened with dense scales, hardly pointed, in $ second joint smooth-scaled, 

 slender. Antenna? grey, in $ darker, with large dense concave anterior tuft on 

 basal joint. Thorax rather dark fuscous, posterior extremity ochreous-whitish. 

 Abdomen pale ochreous. Legs dark fuscous ringed with whitish, posterior 

 tibia? clothed above with very long projecting curled whitish hairs mixed with 

 dark fuscous in middle. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately 

 arched towards extremities, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; 3, 4, 5 

 approximated, 7 to apex ; whitish-ochreous ; a narrow dark fuscous basal 

 fascia ; two broad rather dark fuscous fasciae about ^ and §, first somewhat 

 narrowed towards costa, second rather oblique, more or less constricted in disc, 

 beneath dilated and confluent posteriorly with a broad dark fuscous suffusion 

 or irroration in disc ; between these fascia? a very undefined oblique median line 

 of dark fuscous irroration ; a dark fuscous terminal streak, thickened at apex : 

 cilia whitish-ochreous becoming ochreous-yellowish towards base, with a dark, 

 fuscous antemedian shade. Hindwings fuscous ; in $ a broad median longi- 

 tudinal ochreous-yellow band, including a deep central groove, and a subdorsal 

 groove enclosing an ochreous-yellow hairpencil from base ; cilia whitish- 

 ochreous. 



Eight specimens, Madulsima, Matale, and Maskeliya, Ceylon, in January, 

 April, and October (Vaughan, Alston, Pole). Allied to the following. 



Timyra irrorella, Wals. 



{Tipha irrorella, Wals., Moore Lep. Ceyl. iii, 517, pi. 209, 9.) 



Peradeniya, Maturatta, Diyatalawa, Puttalam, Ceylon ; a common species. 



Timyra crassella, Feld. 



{Harpella crassella, Feld. Reis, Nov. pi. cxxxix, 22 ; Timyra sphenias, Meyr.) 



Felder's figure is very poor and not characteristic, and the locality is said to 

 be Ternate, hence I failed to recognise his species ; but I have since seen his 

 type, which is certainly this insect ; the alleged locality is doubtless erroneous, 

 as is frequently the case with Felder's species. 



Timyra peronetris, n. sp. 



$. 29-30 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax'rather dark fuscous ; palpi very long, 

 basal joint elongate, so that it forms a sharp elbow with second, second joint 

 reaching much above vertex, broadly compressed, internally with large dense 

 expansible tuft of very long whitish hairs, terminal joint about half second, 

 dilated with dense scales, tolerably obtuse. Antenna? f uscous-ochreous, basal
