sometimes fuscous ; cilia in ft fuscous, in $ light fuscous. 



Peradeniya, Maskeliya, Gampola, Ceylon, from May to January ; fourteen 

 specimens (Pole, Green, Alston). 



Ulodemis, n. g. 



Antennas in ft shortly ciliated, with dorsal notch in stalk near base. Palpi 

 rather long, porrected. Thorax without crest. Forewings with 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to termen. Hindwings with 3 and 4 connate, 5 closely approxi- 

 mated at base, 6 and 7 connate or short-stalked. 



Apparently allied to Pandemis. 



Ulodemis trigraplia, n. sp. 



ft $ . 20-23 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax brown, forehead in ft with 

 blackish spot. Abdomen bronzy-grey. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa an- 

 teriorly moderately arched, posteriorly slightly sinuate, apex obtuse, termen in 

 ft almost straight, somewhat oblique, in $ somewhat sinuate, hardly oblique, 

 rounded beneath ; brown, more or less strewn with blackish-grey strigulae, in 

 $ sometimes hardly perceptible ; three obscure slender whitish oblique trans- 

 verse lines, nearly straight and tolerably parallel, indicating edge of basal 

 patch and margins of moderate central fascia, which are hardly darker than 

 ground colour : cilia brown, tips pale. Hindwings in ft with subdorsal 

 groove containing expansible hair-pencil ; grey ; cilia light grey, with darker 

 basal line. 



Bhotan (3,000 feet) in April, May and August : three specimens (Dudgeon). 



GELECHIADJ5. 



Thyrso&toma, n. g. 



Head smooth ; tongue developed. Antennae f, in ft moderately ciliated (1), 

 basal joint very long, without pecten, second joint also elongate, about half 

 basal, its apex angularly prominent above. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 

 joint with very long fine expansible fringe of hairs beneath, terminal joint as 

 long as second, thick, tolerably pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Pos- 

 terior tibiae with three tufts of scales above. Forewings with 4 absent, 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to costa, 9 absent, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings %, very 

 narrowly elongate-trapezoidal, acutely pointed from f, cilia 4 ; 2-5 parallel, 

 6 and 7 approximated towards base. 



Apparently related to Aristotelia.

ft. 12-13 mm. Head and thorax shining white. Palpi white, apex grey- 

 ish. Antennae white, stalk grey above. Abdomen pale shining silvery-grey, 

 basal half dorsally greyish-ochreous. Forewings linear-lanceolate, widest near

 tions ; a narrow inwardly oblique whitish fascia at | ; an ill-defined irregular 

 whitish discal spot at f : cilia light grey. Hindwings and cilia grey, towards 

 base paler and ochreous-tinged.
