curved throughout, less so posteriorly, apex subacute in male, less acute 
in female, termen hardly convex above, gradually rounded, rather oblique. 
Light isabel-coloured , densely retinate and transversely strigulated with 
greyish-fuscous and pale fuscous ; somewhat darker and more pronounced 
are: a row of numerous dots along costa, confluent in a small suffusion 
towards base, an interrupted transverse little oblique straight line before 
1 U of wing, and dotting on middle of cell, and along its lower edge 
posteriorly; preterminal strigulation forming a rather distinct slender 
vertical short-stalked, Y-shaped mark from termen above tornus to costa. 
Cilia isabel- colour. Hind wing and cilia glossy-white. 
Tegumen strongly concave, almost conical, narrowed. Uncus strong, 
angulate above middle, forming a porrect bipartite beak, angulation with 
a brush of strong bristles above. Socius small, pending, with long bristles 
along upper edge. Gnathos porrect, arms extremely short, slender, ending 
in a sexagonal plate. Transtilla absent. Valva moderate, elongate-subovate, 
costa with an angulate short basal projection, sclerotized and dilated 
posteriorly, sacculus with a small patch of dense blunt bristles in middle 
above. Aedoeagus slender, straight. Cornuti absent. (Slide No. 671 D, 
holotype). 
Genital segment in female sclerotized, ostium moderate. Limen very 
broad, simple: upper edge gradually concave, lower almost straight, 
rounded at the sides. Ductus bursae very narrow, long. Bursa copulatrix 
small, simple. Ovipositor lobe reniform, upper part gradually dilated, 
lower moderate. Signum absent. (Slide No. 672 D, allotype). 
Moss Forest Camp, 2600 — 2800 m, October 31, 1938 (holotype, male, 
allotype, female). Iebele Camp, 2250 m, December 1, 1938. Two males, 
one female. 
Schoenotenes farinata spec. nov. (figs. 431, 432) 
o 16-5 mm, $ 16 mm. Head and thorax sordid whitish, suffused and 
mixed with fuscous-greyish, scape of antenna grey above. Palpus rather 
slender, whitish; median segment suffused with fuscous, grey except basal 
half of lower edge ; terminal segment mixed with fuscous-grey. Abdomen 
whitish. Legs whitish, anterior tibia and tarsus blackish, white-ringed. 
Fore wing elongate-subovate, costa curved anteriorly, less so posteriorly, 
apex subobtuse, termen slightly sinuate, moderately oblique. Whitish, 
faintly tinged greyish-fuscous, transversely strigulated with rather light 
fuscous, brighter fuscous in disc, darker and more greyish-tinged towards 
costa, apex and dorsum. About nine greyish costal dots, becoming larger 
posteriorly, a rounded ill-defined spot below middle of costa and an 
elongate darker patch of grey transverse strigulation below sixth to eighth 
costal dots, uniting these; a narrow greyish transverse line from below 
] / 5 of costa to 2 / s of dorsum, followed by another, slightly sinuate, more 
oblique line, from below costa beyond preceding line to middle of dorsum ; 
a third darker grey line, almost obliterate in male, from about 3 / 5 of costa
