DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 165 



able by the different colouring and terminal dots. This is the species 

 erroneously identified by me as tetraspilella, Walk., which latter is, I 

 believe, really a Xyloryctid, and probably supersedes Odites isocentra, Meyr., 

 though from the difficulty of properly examining the type I cannot positively 

 identify it at present. 



CryptohcMa temperafa, n. sp. 



9. 20-24 mm. Head ochreous-yellow. Palpi pale ochreous-yellowish, 

 smooth-scaled. Antenna? pale yellowish. Thorax ochreous-yellowish, more 

 or less suffused with light brownish. Abdomen light ochreous-yellowish. 

 Forewings elongate, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen nearly straight, rather oblique ; 7 to apex , ochreous-yellow, 

 towards dorsum, more or less tinged with brownish ; stigmata brownish, first 

 discal and plical minute, indistinct, plical obliquely beyond first discal, second 

 discal larger and darker : cilia ochreous-yellow. Hindwings light grey, more 

 or less tinged with pale ochreous ; cilia pale ochreous-yellowish. 



Simla ; in July and August, four specimens. 



Cryptolechia costcemaculella, Christ. (Depressaria costamaculella, Christ. 

 Bull. Mosc. 1882, 18, Snell. Tijd. v., Ent. xxvii, 158, pi. 8,5.) 



Sikkim ; Darjeeling ; in July. Described from Eastern Siberia ; it is a species 

 of distinct appearance, allied to the following, with which it entirely agrees 

 in structure, having the palpi smooth-scaled, and vein 7 of forewings to apex ; 

 it is therefore no Depressaria. 



Cryptolechia eoa, n. sp. 



9 • 24 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-whitish, collar tinged with grey. 

 Palpi ochreous-whitish, smooth-scaled, basal third and a subapical ring of 

 second joint, and apical § of terminal joint blackish. Antennae greyish, mixed 

 with blackish towards base. Abdomen pale ochreous, sprinkled with dark 

 fuscous. Forewings sub-oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, costa gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, little oblique ; 2 and 3 closely 

 approximated at base ; light greyish-ochreous, almost wholly suffused with 

 light rose-pink except in middle of disc and a narrow more whitish-ochreous 

 terminal fascia ; some irregular scattered minute dots and strigulse of blackish 

 scales ; a narrow blackish basal fascia ; two or three blackish dots or marks on 

 costa anteriorly ; a small black costal spot at | ; first discal stigma small, black- 

 ish ; a moderate black fascia-form bar from costa beyond middle, extended so 

 as to enclose in its apex second discal stigma, which is white, and with a 

 triangular projection of grey suffusion mixed with black from middle of its 

 posterior margin ; two blackish spots on costa beyond this, united beneath 

 costa ; a series of blackish marks round apex and termen : cilia -whitish-ochre- 

 ous. Hindwings light greyish-ochreous, more greyish posteriorly ; three or 

 four grey marks on upper part of termen ; cilia whitish-ochreous. 



Khasis ; in October, one specimen. This distinct species, though structur- 

 ally in all respects a true Cryptolechia, not improbably indicates the origin ot 

 Depressaria from that genua.
