one species, nesciatella, (which I have from Maskeliya and Maturatta, 

 Ceylon), and I have described two others, heliapta and rostrata ; I now add 

 six more, but have various others which require further material for eluci- 

 dation. The species are rather closely allied and difficult ; particular atten- 

 tion should be given to the neuration, the form of termen of forewings, and 

 the character of the second discal stigma. 



Frisilia senilis, n. sp. 



3 5 . 12-13 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous tinged with 

 brownish, sides of crown whitish. Palpi in 3 pale brownish-ochreous, apex 

 suffused with dark fuscous, in § ochreous-whitish, second joint pale 

 ochreous sprinkled with fuscous except towards apex, anterior edge of 

 terminal joint dark fuscous. Antennae whitish more or less dotted with 

 fuscous, suffused with ochreous towards base, with dark fuscous prseapical 

 band. Abdomen whitish-ochreous more or less tinged with grey. Fore- 

 wings elongate, rather narrow, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, termen 

 almost straight, in 3 somewhat oblique, in 5 more oblique ; 3 absent in 

 both sexes, 2 and 4 in $ and sometimes in $ stalked, 8 and 9 out of 7 ; 

 subdorsal groove in 3 slightly sinuate anteriorly, bent down beneath 

 second discal stigma ; whitish-ochreous or pale ochreous, with some scatter- 

 ed dark fuscous specks, dorsal area in 3 sometimes suffused with deep 

 yellow-ochreous ; discal stigmata black, dot-like, second in 3 forming a 

 somewhat oblique short transverse mark : cilia whitish-ochreous, sometimes 

 suffused towards base with ochreous-yellowish. Hindwings light grey ; 

 cilia ochreous-whitish more or less tinged with grey. 



N. Coorg, 3,500 feet (Newcome) ; in June, August and November, five 

 specimens. The bent subdorsal groove of 3 and absence of vein 3 

 in $ are peculiar characters. 



Frisilia strepsiptila, n. sp. 



3 $ . 18-2Q mm. Head and thorax light brownish-ochreous, sides of 

 crown pale ochreous. .Palpi pale brownish-ochreous, in 5 terminal joint 

 whitish-ochreous, with anterior edge dark fuscous. Antennse whitish- 

 ochreous, with, dark fuscous prseapical band, in 3 spotted with fuscous, 

 basal joint clothed above with tuft of dense projecting scales, in £ 

 somewhat infuscated towards base. Abdomen pale ochreous. Forewings 

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

 obtuse, termen sinuate, little oblique ; in 3 3 and 4 out of 2, in $ 2 and 3 

 stalked, 4 approximated, 8 absent, 9 out of 7 ; subdorsal groove in 3 

 sinuate downwards on anterior half ; brownish-ochreous, thinly sprinkled 

 with dark fuscous specks ; costal edge infuscated towards base ; discal 

 stigmata dark fuscous, first dot-like, *second forming a crescentic dot, 

 whence a rather oblique streak of fuscous or dark fuscous irroration 

 runs towards dorsum ; termen somewhat infuscated from apex to near 

 tornus : cilia pale ochreous Hindwings in 3 with long pencil of whitish-
