narrow. Saccus shorter than in the preceding. Aedoeagus finely denticulate 
towards the end, top short-furcate, each furca with a strong spine. (Slides

Top Camp, 2100 m, January 25, 1939 (holotype, male), January 22 — 25,

Nemophora homoeotropa spec. nov. (fig. 861) 
ofioioTQonog = equal of character 
<J 16 mm. Head yellowish-ochreous, a projecting tuft of scales on vertex 
above bases of antennae, face deep purple-metallic, eyes large, contiguous 
anteriorly. Palpus weak, hairy below, pale ochreous, terminal segment 
angularly bent downward, drooping, fuscous. Antennae silvery white, 
basal fourth ringed with dark fuscous, scape swollen, dark fuscous. Thorax 
fuscous ? (rubbed). Abdomen fuscous, indistinctly banded with pale 
ochreous. Legs pale ochreous-golden, anterior and median tarsus ringed 
and posterior tibia suffused with dull fuscous. Fore wing triangular-ovate, 
moderately broad, costa straight anteriorly, moderately curved towards 
apex, apex rather obtuse, termen slightly concave, very oblique, tornus 
broadly rounded, dorsum rather rounded. Bright metallic brassy-purple, 
markings rather dull yellow, edged with dull purple-black. Basal patch 
occupying somewhat less than 1 / 3 of wing, margin slightly convex, from 
before 1 / 3 of costa to before 2 / 5 of dorsum, dark edge narrow; this patch 
traversed by two moderate metallic pale silvery-greenish longitudinal 
streaks: along costa and somewhat above middle respectively, costal one 
somewhat mixed with ground colour and narrowly edged below towards 
base with black; a rather broad transverse fascia from middle of costa 
to 3 / 4 of dorsum, slightly inwards-oblique, gradually dilated towards 
costa, on costa less than twice as broad as basal patch, inner edge very 
bluntly bent below middle and appearing convex, dark edge broadest in 
middle, becoming very narrow towards costa and dorsum; posterior edge 
of fascia tolerably straight, dark-edged along upper half, edge moderate, 
lower extremity truncate; a moderate irroration of purple-black scales 
before termen somewhat below middle. Cilia bright metallic brassy- 
purple with an olive shine in certain lights. Hind wing semipellucent, 
thinly scaled, pale yellowish-golden, less than apical half opaque, glossy 
purple. Cilia pale yellowish-golden. 
Uncus rounded. Socius moderate. Valva shorter than in the preceding 
species, just reaching top of uncus, broad, rather abruptly pointed, 
sacculus as in chrysorrhabda. Anellus moderate, erect-ovate. Aedoeagus 
finely spinose posteriorly, with one curved and one longer, straight apical 
spike. Saccus less narrowed than in the other two species. (Slide no. 997 D, 
type.) 
Top Camp, 2100 m, January 19, 1939. One specimen. Nearest to the
