Dichomeris Hb. 



I agree with Durrant and Busck that it is advisable to adopt this name 

 for the genus which I have hitherto called Ypsolophus. I have recorded four 

 Indian species, viz., ianthes, Meyr. (=^ ochrophanes, Meyr.), decusella, Walk,, 

 (= alterndla, Walk.), eridantis, Meyr., and bisic/nella, Snell. {^^deltaspis .. 

 Meyr.), and now describe twelve more.
