in the middle, plical irregularly elongate, below the first discal, as large 
as this; an irregular irrorated spot on the dorsum before the tornus, 
sparse dark scales scattered between these markings, more or less inter- 
connecting them, and connecting the plical stigma with the dorsum: a 
still sparser dark irroration extending from beyond the upper edge of the 
cell to 4 / s of the costa; a subtcrminal row of irregular small spots between 
the veins, more or less interconnected, becoming smaller towards the 
tornus; some marginal irroration in the apex and along the termen. Cilia 
yellowish-white, glossy, mixed with a few fuscous scales. Hind wing 
yellowish-white, paler than the fore wing, cilia concolorous. 
Ovipositor extremely long, erectile, tineoid. Anapophyses undulate. 
Ostium indefinite. Ductus bursae and bursa copulatrix apparently very 
weak, not traceable in the mount. (Slide no. 1021 D, type.) 
Moss Forest Camp, 2600—2800 m, October 9— November 5, 1938. 
One specimen. In the fore wing, vein 2 originates from before the angle. 
Identification without a corresponding male is somewhat uncertain.

Antiopala copiara spec. nov. (fig. 713) 
xomagog = tiring 
19 mm. Head, antenna, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous, sides of 
the abdomen infuscated in the middle. Palpus pale ochreous, basal segment 
and the basal half of the median, dark fuscous. Legs fuscous, articulations 
of the segments and a faint median ring of all the tibiae, pale ochreous; 
posterior tibia smooth. Fore wing elongate-subtriangular, rather narrow, 
broadest at 3 / 4 , costa gently curved anteriorly, straight posteriorly, apex 
obtuse, termen gently rounded, very oblique. Whitish-ochreous, with a 
golden' gloss, costa narrowly suffused with brighter ochreous, markings 
fuscous .'"A small basal patch, with a strongly inwardly oblique, straight 
edge, ill-defined on the dorsum; a short streak at s / 5 of the costa; a wedge- 
shaped suffused transverse streak at 5 / 6 of the costa, its lower half much 
narrowed and ill-defined, curved parallel to the tornus, reaching to vein 4; 
an ill-defined marginal line from the termination of the vein 8 to before 
the tornus, dilated on the veins, so as to form small dots: stigmata formed 
by dark fuscous irroration, first discal moderate, round, plical below and 
slightly beyond it, smaller, irregular, second discal shaped as an interrupted 
narrow streak along the closing vein; some fuscous irroration, forming a 
faint spot on the dorsum before the tornus, and a few scales scattered
