DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 153 



darker, sometimes finely irrorated with whitish ; stigmata large, dark fuscous, 

 plical rather before first discal ; some cloudy dark fuscous marginal dots round 

 apex : cilia pale fuscous, more or less mixed with darker, and irrorated with 

 pale points. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale greyish-ochreous, with faint fuscous^ 

 subbasal shade. 



Hakgala, Ceylon .(Green) ; in March and April, three specimens. Larva 

 feeding in a portable case on lichens growing on trunks and rocks (Green) ; 

 case 27-31 mm. long, formed of silk covered with fragments of lichen, acutely 

 tapering posteriorly, anterior half covered by an ovate hood, 10-12 mm. broad, 

 extending as a ragged edge to below middle. The hood in this species is 

 larger and more extensive than in seposilella, in which it does not reach mid- 

 dle of case, and much more so than in limulus and cretata, in which the hood 

 bears only a small proportion to the length of the long slender acute posterior 

 portion. 



Pseudodoxia sepositclla. Walk. 



I was in error in referring limulus Durr. to this species as a synonym ; the 

 two names indicate two very closely allied but distinct species ; my previous 

 note referred to the true limulus. P. sepositella is larger (18-21 mm.), grey or 

 dark grey, without dark irroration but often somewhat whitish-sprinkled, with 

 a black spot beneath costa near base, stigmata large, black, plical rather before 

 first discal, with faint pale nearly straight subterminal line indented in middle, 

 and black marginal dots ; head pale ochreous-yellowish, thorax grey suffused 

 with blackish anteriorly. 



Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole) ; in January, February, and July, seven speci- 

 mens. Larva feeding like limulus ; case intermediate in character between 

 those of limulus and 2ncropluea. 

 Pseudodoxia iclincea, n. sp. 



$. 16-17 mm. Head and thorax pale greyish-ochreous with some scattered 

 dark fuscous scales. Palpi whitish-ochreous, second joint irrorated with dark 

 fuscous except base and apex. Antennae pale greyish-ochreous. Abdomen 

 grey, anal segment ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, narrow, costa gently 

 arched, apex round-pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; light fuscous 

 sprinkled with dark fuscous ; stigmata moderate, blackish-fuscous, plical obli- 

 quely before first discal ; a series of large cloudy blackish-fuscous dots round 

 termen and posterior part of costa : cilia fuscous irrorated with pale greyish- 

 ochreous. Hindwings dark grey ; cilia light greyish-ochreous. 



Peradeniya, Ceylon (Green) ; in February, two specimens. Larva feeding 

 in the same way as the two preceding species (Green) ; case generally similar 

 to that oipicrophcea but smaller (length 20-23 mm., breadth of hood 8-9 mm.), 

 hood extended as a diminishing wing to well below middle of case. 

 Psaltica, Meyr. 



The generic characters, originally drawn from a single specimen, require to 

 be amended in the following particulars : Antennae in $ 1, in $ shorter ; 

 forewings with 2 from J, 3 from angle. The genus is structurally near
