DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. 731 



extreme apex whitish. Thorax dark bronzy-fuscous. Abdomen grey, apex 

 whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa slightly arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen sinuate beneath apex, somewhat oblique ; 7 absent, 8 and 9 

 stalked ; blackish-fuscous ; a pale grey supramedian streak from base to 

 beyond middle, surmounted by an ochreous-yellow streak, both terminated 

 by upper portion of a strongly inwards-oblique elongate-oval ochreous- 

 yellow ring ; two oblique white streaks from costa anteriorly running into 

 subcostal yellow streak ; an ochreous-yellow dash beneath supramedian 

 streak near base ; an irregular oblique-transverse blotch of ground-colour 

 margined with ochreous-yellow extending from dorsum to supramedian 

 streak before middle of wing ; dorsal area before and beyond this somewhat 

 mixed with whitish, area between oblique discal ring and tornus suffused 

 with white mixed with grey ; a pale leaden-grey oblique streak from near 

 costa in middle to disc at § more or less edged on both sides with 

 ochreous-yellow, and shorter white oblique streak from costa adjacent to 

 this posteriorly ; three short white strigulse on costa posteriorly, from third 

 a straight leaden-metallic streak runs to tornus, preceded on lower § by 

 four anteriorly confluent ochreous-yellowish longitudinal marks appearing 

 to enclose three wedgeshaped marks of ground-colour, and margined 

 posteriorly by an ochreous-yellow terminal streak enclosing a black terminal 

 line thickened beneath apex : cilia fuscous, outer half becoming whitish- 

 ochreous towards tornus, on upper part of termen shining leaden-grey, on 

 costa dark fuscous with base whitish, forming a somewhat prominent 

 apical hook. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale grey. 



Maskeliya, Ceylon (Pole) ; in January, from March to June, and in 

 September and October, twelve specimens. Five examples from N. Coorg, 

 3,500 feet (Newcome), are smaller, 9-10 mm., more sharply marked, terminal 

 black line of forewings forming a more abrupt subapical spot ; three from 

 Nilgiri Hills, 3,500 — 6,000 feet (Andrewes) are 10-12 mm., subapical spot as 

 well-marked as in these, but hindwings more or less suffused with whitish, 

 especially in the specimen from 6,000 feet ; the palpi and neuration are 

 alike in all these, and I consider them all specifically identical. 



Strobisia bicunea, n. sp. 



S 2 • 9-10 mm. Head and thorax dark bronzy-fuscous, face bronzy- 

 whitish. Palpi whitish, terminal joint with a dark fuscous line. Antennae 

 dark fuscous, extreme apex white. Abdomen grey, in S with segmental 

 margins and anal tuft whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa 

 slightly arched, faintly sinuate in middle, apex obtuse, termen sinuate 

 beneath apex, somewhat oblique ; 7 to costa, 8 and 9 out of 7 ; blackish- 

 fuscous ; a somewhat arched yellow-ochreous subcostal streak from base to 

 disc beyond middle, edged beneath by a shorter leaden-grey streak not 

 reaching either extremity ; two oblique white streaks from costa anteriorly
