with whitish-ochreous, on costa expanded into a triangular spot, in middle with 

 a slight angular projection posteriorly ; second discal stigma raised, blackish, 

 more or less distinctly edged with whitish-ochreous or yellowish; and a similar 

 dot beneath and rather beyond it ; an indistinct cloudy waved whitish-ochreous 

 line from § of costa to dorsum before tornus, more or less edged anteriorly with 

 dark fuscous irroration, its central third strongly curved outwards ; a waved 

 line of dark fuscous irroration running round posterior part of costa and 

 termen : cilia whitish-ochreous mixed with fuscous and sprinkled with dark 

 fuscous. Hindwings and cilia grey. 



Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole) ; in January and February, five specimens. 



JMacrosaces pendula, n. sp. 



$ $. 10-13 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous irrorated with fuscous. 

 Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint moderately thickened, dark fuscous except 

 apex, terminal joint as long as second, with dark fuscous band below middle. 

 Antennae whitish-ochreous ringed with fuscous. Abdomen fuscous. Forewings 

 elongate, narrow, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely 

 rounded ; 3 absent ; whitish-ochreous more or less irrorated with fuscous and 

 dark fuscous ; a blackish subcostal tuft towards base ; a rather oblique 

 transverse gently curved blackish line at 2, tufted beneath costa and above 

 dorsum, edged posteriorly with whitish-ochreous, expanded into a triangular 

 blackish spot on costa and slightly sinuate near dorsum ; second discal stigma 

 raised, blackish, and a similar dot beneath and somewhat beyond it ; an 

 indistinct line of dark fuscous irroration or suffusion from ^ of costa to dorsum 

 before tornus, acutely angulated in middle ; some indistinct dots of dark 

 fuscous suffusion on posterior part of costa and termen ; cilia pale fuscous, 

 sprinkled with ochreous-whitish points and a few dark fuscous scales. Hind- 

 wings and cilia grey or pale grey. 



Khasis ; in October, five specimens. Very similar to ampldterma, but with 

 the lines differently formed, and readily distinguished by the different marking 

 and structure of palpi. 



Macrosaces icteropa, n. sp. 



<J$. 11-14 mm. Head ochreous-yellow. Palpi light yellowish, second 

 joint moderately thickened, somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous except 

 towards apex, terminal joint as long as second, with a dark fuscous ring near

 yellowish densely irrorated with dark fuscous ; a blackish subcostal tuft

 two with a spot on costa and a mark on dorsum appearing to form a rather 

 curved oblique line interrupted in disc, an additional dot beneath and rather 

 beyond second discal ; a very indistinct transverse line of darker irroration 

 from a black dot on costa at f, acutely angulated in middle : cilia fuscous
