DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 443 



ochreous-yellow, above apex with a dark fuscous bar. Hindwings pale 

 ochreous-yellowish ; a dark grey streak along termen, on lower half more 

 broadly suffused with lighter grey, and connected with an oblique dark 

 grey linear mark on transverse vein ; cilia pale yellowish. 



Khasis, in June ; two specimens. 



Lecithocera, H. S. 



Head with appressed scales; ocelli absent; tongue developed. Antennce 

 I or over 1, more or less thickened towards base, in <$ simple, basal 

 joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 

 thickened with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second or longer, 

 slender, acute, or seldom in S obtuse. Maxillary palpi very short, 

 filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibise clothed with hairs above. 

 Forewings with 3 out of 2 or seldom absent, 4 seldom out of 2 or sometimes 

 stalked with 5, 7 to apex or termen, 8 and usually 9 out of 7, or seldom 

 8 and 9 stalked, 7 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1 or somewhat 

 over 1, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia § — i ; 3 and 4 connate or 

 stalked or sometimes coincident, 5 rather approximated, 6 and 7 stalked. 



Type L. luticornella, H. S. There has been much confusion about the 

 specific identity of the type of this genus, but I now find the original 

 description of Herrich-Schaeffer correct in every particular. The generic 

 names Tiriza, Walk., Thubana, Walk., Tiva, Walk., Inapha, Walk., Patouissa 

 Walk., Adelomorpha, Snell., and Macrotona, Meyr. are synonyms of this. 



Lecithocera bullulata, n. sp. 



d 1 . 17 mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi white, second joint infuscated 

 on lower half. Antennae whitish. Thorax whitish, posteriorly infuscated, 

 marked with dark fuscous on anterior edge. Abdomen ochreous-whitish 

 mixed with fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex round- 

 pointed, termen gently concave, oblique ; 3 and 4 out of 2, 8 and 9 out of 7 ; 

 ochreous-whitish, suffused with pale brownish except a triangular blotch on 

 middle of costa reaching half across wing, and an undefined transverse 

 patch before termen ; a small costal mark of dark fuscous suffusion on each 

 side of costal blotch, and a transverse-crescentic dark fuscous mark adjoin- 

 ing its apex posteriorly ; a bar of fuscous suffusion near base, some fuscous 

 irroration in disc and towards dorsum before middle, and a cloudy streak 

 of fuscous suffusion along termen : cilia ochreous-whitish, with two fuscous 

 shades. Hindwings rather dark fuscous, lighter and ochreous-tinged 

 towards apex ; a round dark fuscous spot in middle of disc, edged anteriorly 

 by a white spot ; some slight irregular whitish suffusion towards termen ; 

 cilia as in forewings, but shades less defined and tending to be interrupted.
