and brownish; a rounded greyish patch above tornus, and a transversely 
ovate light chestnut-brown patch before upper half of termen, both edged 
with sparse black dots along tornus and along lower part of termen. Cilia 
white, except in tornus with greyish tips and an antemedian row of black 
patches. Hind wing and cilia white. 
Tegumen moderately broad, short. Uncus moderate, with broad base, 
strongly narrowed above, top rounded, with a slender beak-shaped ventral 
projection. Gnathos rather short, strong, hook gradually curved, concave, 
bristled towards top. Transtilla slender, U-shaped. Valva short, costa 
distinct, strongly curved, with a separate top, which is curved downward, 
and bears a group of peculiar short, and thick pencil-like bristles; cucullus 
narrowed, with rounded top, sacculus weak, harpe elongate, bristled. 
Aedoeagus angulate, with broad basal, and narrow apical half. Anellus 
broad. Cornuti, a long patch of short bristles. (Slide No. 651 D).

Stenotenes incudis spec. nov. (figs. 380, 381, 397) 
16 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen white, touched with yellowish- 
ochreous. Palpus fuscous-blackish, apex of median segment white. Legs 
whitish, anterior tibia and tarsus suffused and dotted with blackish. Fore 
wing elongate-subovate, costa gradually moderately curved anteriorly, 
less curved posteriorly; apex subobtuse, termen gently rounded, oblique. 
White, finely retinate with light ochreous-olive, markings light ochreous- 
olive, dark brown and blackish -fuscous. Costa with a row of subtriangular 
blackish-fuscous dots, tolerably equal in size, two dots beyond 2 / 5 close 
together, connected by fuscous suffusion; a large trapezoid spot on dorsum 
from about 1 / s to beyond 3 /„, reaching above middle of disc, with anterior 
edge rather inwardly oblique, incised above fold, posterior edge almost 
vertical, slightly concave, upper edge concave, with short projections at 
angles; upper half of this spot dark brown, lower half formed by coarse 
transverse dark brown strigulation, interconnected along dorsum; olive 
retination, forming broader, more or less distinct transverse streaks along 
oosta, originating from costal dots; an oblique wedge-shaped olive patch 
from connected pair of costal dots mentioned above, not reaching upper 
posterior angle of dorsal patch, with edges slightly dotted with dark 
brown; this oblique costal patch followed by a small vertical patch in disc 
below costa, and by a much suffused slightly oblique discal blotch beyond 
vein, olive, slightly suffused with brown, connected by ill-defined olive 
strigulae with two vertical dark brown marks on dorsum before tornus, 
posterior mark largest; a tuft of white raised scales on lower angle of 
cell; costal patch small, irregular, subquadrate, at 3 / 4 of costa: greyish- 
olive, edged with dark brown below ; a moderate elongate-ovate transverse
