two smaller adjacent spots on fold and dorsum respectively ; seven oblique 

 wedgeshaped costal marks between this and apex ; a subtriangular spot on 

 dorsum before tornus, edged with dark fuscous and surmounted by a curv- 

 ed streak ; a longitudinal streak in disc above this, followed by an undefined 

 longitudinal patch of dark fuscous irroration : cilia bronzy-whitish, at apex 

 with two diverging dark fuscous bars, on costa barred with dark fuscous, on 

 termen with a dark fuscous subbasal line. Hindwings light grey ; cilia 

 whitish. 



Patipola, Ceylon, in September (Alston) ; one specimen. 



Tinea melanochiysa, n. sp. 



S. 11-14 mm. Head, palpi, antennte, and thorax blackish. Abdomen 

 dark fuscous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; shining ochreous-yeUow ; 

 markings brown more or less suffused with dark fuscous ; a broad irregular 

 streak along costa, dilated in middle where it reaches half across wing, on 

 apical fourth often variably reduced in width and enclosing a white margi- 

 nal striga which is sometimes once or twice interrupted ; a rather broad 

 streak from dorsum beyond middle along termen to apex, sometimes 

 extending to base, somewhat whitish-sprinkled, above tornus rather 

 triangularly prominent, in one specimen broadly confluent here with 

 projection of costal streak : cilia yellow, on costa and round apex with a 

 strong dark fuscous basal line, at apex with a dark fuscous bar. Hind- 

 wings and cilia dark grey. 



Khasis, in May and June ; eight specimens. 



Tinea canicoma, n. sp. 



J 2 ■ 14-17 mm. Head white, face, palpi, and antennae blackish. 

 Thorax light yellow or yellow-whitish, shoulders narrowly blackish. Abdo- 

 men grey. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; light bronzy-ochreous- 

 yellow, sometimes suffused with white on margins of dark markings ; a 

 broad dark fuscous costal streak from base to f , widest in middle of wing ; 

 beyond this a white striga along costa to apex, partially edged anteriorly 

 with blackish ; a dark fuscous streak from base along dorsum to origin of 

 cilia, thence continued as a broader brown or deeper yellow streak edged 

 with blackish to apex, on tornus somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous and 

 projecting upwards : cilia ochreous-yeUow, round costa and apex with 

 strong dark fuscous basal and less pronounced postmedian line. Hind- 

 wings and cilia rather dark grey. 



Khasis, in June, September, and October; six specimens. Very like 

 melanoekri/sa, but immediately distinguished by the dift'erent colour of head 

 and thorax. 



Tinea sartorla, n. sp. 



fj. 13 mm. Head, palpi, a.ntennoe, and thorax blackish, posterior
