double dot on the third segment, and in a single dot on the fifth segment, 
opposite this double dot ; black blotches between these series, and a series 
of minute apical dots, arranged as follows: an approximated dot on the 
first segment, three equidistant dots on the second, four inequal ones on 
the third, five on the fourth, two anterior of which are the largest, four on 
the fifth segment, of which the first and the ultimate are the largest ; sixth 
segment with three elongate equidistant blotches, first of these at about 
s / 6 , no apical dot. Cilia concolorous, irregularly and moderately mixed 
with greyish opposite the dark markings. 
Tegumen rounded. Uncus moderately long, top clavate, bifid. Gnathos 
moderately long, strong, arms thickened, top acute. Valva narrow, 
cucullus small, pointed, top with a few bristles, basal knob strong. Vin- 
culum rather elongate, with a dilated, and truncate base. Furca moderate, 
with broad blades, with their points narrow, curved downward. Aedoeagus 
moderate, elongate, its base vesicular. Cornuti, a sheaf of short spines.

Orneodes micrographa spec. nov. (fig. 717) 
Hixoog = small, yodcpat = to draw 
9 20 mm. Head and palpus pale whitish-yellow, vertex brighter yellow. 
Palpus moderately long, ascending, median segment gradually dilated 
with appressed scales, terminal segment 2 l / a ; yellowish -white, median 
segment with a subapical transverse shadow, terminal slightly mixed with 
greyish towards the apex. Thorax bright orange-yellow, irrorated with brown. 
Abdomen pale ochreous, irregularly suffused with yellowish -orange, more 
so towards the sides, and the apex, venter greyish, except the anal tuft. 
Legs ochreous-whitish, anterior tibia infuscated above. Fore wing and 
cilia pale yellowish -ochreous, towards the base, and with the first and the 
second segments throughout, suffused with brighter ochreous-yellow. 
First and second segments with two ill-defined broad transverse bands 
of a fuscous irroration, beyond the base and beyond 1 / 5 , dorsal cilia dark 
fuscous opposite these; first segment with two more broad bands of a rather 
dark greyish-fuscous irroration, edged with dark fuscous, at, and beyond 
the middle, dorsal cilia opposite these dark fuscous; beyond these marks 
only a sparse fuscous irroration along the dorsal half of the segment to its 
apex, dorsal cilia fuscous, an indication of a narrow transverse streak at 
3/ 4 ; second segment with four very broad bands, indicated only by a pale 
fuscous suffusion, but distinct by their dark fuscous edges, and by the 
dark fuscous cilia above and beneath, opposite these bands; a subapical 
dark fuscous transverse dot, accentuated by dark fuscous bars in the cilia 
above and beneath, and a minute fuscous ill-defined point in the apical
