The bifurcations of the upper branch of the second vein, and 

 of the fourth vein, occur just before the middle of the wing. 



Described from a perfect unique 5 (?) in the Indian Museum 

 collection, captured by Dr. Annaadale in the Museum, 3o-vii-o8. 



Psychoda squamipennis, milii, sp. nov. 

 ? . Calcutta. Ivong. i|- mm. 



Body blackish brown, with brownish grey hair, which appears 

 much lighter when the light fa Is on it in a certain direction. 

 Eyes black, large facets. Antennae : first joint elongate, one-and a- 

 half times as long as the second, which is short and subspherical ; 

 both with some bristly hairs ; flagellum of apparently only thirteen 

 joints, which are cup-shaped, with a central cylindrical prolonga- 

 tion, each joint bearing a thick verticel of long, close, scale-like, 

 light brownish grey hairs, in addition to some ordinary hairs on 

 each joint ; the last joint tapers to a point and may really be 

 separable into two. 



Legs with close, greyish pubescence, and some apparently 

 irregularly placed bristles of various lengths ; some stiff black ones 

 on the metatarsus. 



Wings with the surface between the veins closely covered with 

 distinct, moderately large, brown scales, and both veins and the 

 intermediate spaces covered with brown and black hairs. Border 

 of wing with a fringe of long brown hairs, which appear grey in 

 certain lights ; and along the estreme edge of the wing is placed, 

 here and there, a single, small, snow-white scale-like hair. 



The example is apparently a 5 as no trace of a genital append- 

 age is visible, but from the manner the specimen is mounted, it is 

 very difficult to see the body and legs. 



Described from a unique 5 in the Indian Museum collection, 

 taken by Dr. Annandale in Calcutta, 5-viii-07. 



Psychoda argenteopunctata, mihi, sp. nov. 

 9 . Calcutta. Long, nearly i mm. 



Considerably resembling squamipennis. 



The antennse have a flagellum of thirteen spindle-shaped 

 joints, each bearing a thick verticel of hairs. 



Mouth with rather long bristles; the four-jointed palpi are thin, 

 moderately hairy, gradually tapering towards the tip ; the second 

 joint being twice as long as the first, the rest sub-equal. The 

 genital appendage appears bare, conical, horny, upright. The legs 

 are covered with brownish scales which, in certain lights, show a 

 greyish white shimmer. The tibiae have rather long hairs of irregu- 

 lar length, and a circlet 01 strong bristles of different lengths at 

 the tip ; the apical half of the metatarsus has some white scales. 



Wings : The second longitudinal vein divides almo3t directly 

 after its divergence from the third, and the prong forks at a quarter
