DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN M1CR0-LEPID0PTERA. 155 



yellowish tinged with grey. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; ochreous-yellow ; base of costa 

 ferruginous, edge sometimes dark fuscous ; a dark brown transverse median 

 fascia, anterior edge suffused into ground colour, posterior sharply limited by 

 a white line ; more or less brownish suffusion towards termen : cilia ochreous- 

 yellow, towards tornus tinged with brownish. Hindwings fuscous or dark 

 fuscous ; cilia light greyish-ochreous, more or less tinged with fuscous. 



Cuddapah, 4,000 feet (Campbell) ; N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; in 

 June, five specimens. 



Leptosaces, Meyr. 



This genus, founded on a New Zealand species, differs from CryptolecMa by 

 the costal termination of vein 7 of forewings. Whilst maintaining it for pre- 

 sent convenience, I think that it may, however, be ultimately merged in 

 CryptolecMa. 



Leptosaces phcebas, Meyr. 



(Euhchria phcebas, Meyr. Journal, Bombay Natural History Society, XVII., 

 742.) 



Described from females only, but having obtained both sexes commonly, 

 I find that the species is referable here, the antennas in ft being only minutely 

 ciliated. 



Khasis ; from May to October, 



Leptosaces anticentra, n. sp. 



ft 9- 13-14 mm. Head and thorax deep ochreous-yellow, shoulders 

 suffused with dark fuscous. Palpi ochreous-yellow, somewhat sprinkled 

 with dark fuscous. Antennas pale yellowish, suffusedly ringed with 

 dark fuscous. Abdomen grey, anal tuft whitish-ochreous. Forewings elon- 

 gate, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, termen slightly rounded, very 

 oblique ; deep ochreous-yellow, sprinkled with dark fuscous ; base of costa 

 suffused with dark fuscous ; stigmata dark fuscous, plical rather beyond 

 first discal, second discal merged in a narrow dark fuscous fascia running from 

 a triangular costal spot at f to tornus, where it unites with a dark fuscous 

 terminal fascia, which is rather broad on costa and irregularly attenuated 

 downwards : cilia ochreous-yellow, with dark grey patches above apex and on 

 tornus. Hindwings grey, darker in $ ; cilia pale grey, with darker subbasal 

 shade. 



Khasis ; in May, four specimens. Very like facuncla, but larger and more 

 strongly marked, and easily recognised by the position of the plical stigma 

 which is obliquely beyond first discal instead of before it. 



Leptosaces facuncla, n. sp. 



ft 9- 11-12 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax deep ochreous-yellow, shoul- 

 ders dark fuscous. Antennas light yellowish, ringed in ft with grey, in 9 

 with dark fuscous except towards base. Abdomen grey, anal tuft ochreous- 

 yellowish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; deep ochreous-yellow ; a streak of
