posterior part of disc; three well-marked fuscous discal dote, 

 first in disc at ^, second on fold slightly beyond first, third 

 in disc before § ; cilia ochreous-whitish. Hind wings and cilia 

 grey. 



But for the stalking of veins 2 and 3 of the forewing 

 this might pass for one of the convictella group of the genus 

 Eulechria. Three examples. 



Blastobasis episema, n. sp. (€77-10^09, distinctly marked). 



3 , 17 mm. Head whitish-oehreous. Palpi whitish- 

 ochreous ; in male with second and terminal joints much 

 enlarged, the latter obtuse. Antennae with basal joint 

 dilated to form a small eyecap with a well-developed pecten 

 on its lower edge; whitish-oehreous; ciliations in male 2. 

 Thorax whitish-oehreous, anterior edge fuscous. Abdomen 

 fuscous, basal segment, apices of segments, tuft, and under- 

 side whitish-oehreous. Legs fuscous with some whitish- 

 oehreous admixture; posterior pair mostly whitish-oehreous. 

 Forewings narrow, lanceolate; whitish-oehreous; markings 

 dark fuscous ; a well-marked V-shaped fascia from ^ costa 

 obliquely outwards, then acutely bent back to mid-dorsum; 

 a dot above tornus, and a second between this and § costa ; 

 a series of dots on apical part of costa and on termen; cilia 

 whitish-oehreous. Hindwings lanceolate; pale grey; cilia 

 ochreous-grey. One example. 



Blastobasis dyssema, n. sp. (eWo-77/xosj badly marked). 



d and 9 > 14-18 mm. Head whitish-oehreous. Palpi ; 

 whitish-oehreous ; in male with second and terminal joints 

 much enlarged, the latter obtuse. Antennae with basal joint 

 enlarged and pectinate; pale fuscous; ciliations in male 2. 

 Thorax fuscous. Abdomen fuscous; underside, and in male 

 tuft ochreous-whitish. Legs pale fuscous; posterior pair

Family TINEIDAE. 



Subfamily GRAOILARIANAE. 



Gracilaria, n. sp. One of the group allied to xylojphanes, 

 Turn., but distinct. Unfortunately during the journey ta> 

 England both forewings became detached and lost, so that it 

 is impossible to give a description.
