second faint suffused smaller dot, before apex; a large elongate-ovate 
greyish fuscous suffusion, transversely strigulated with darker brown, 
reaching along dorsum from beyond base to 4 / fl , and extending across 
wing to slightly above middle; a small rounded group of blackish scales 
beyond base of disc below costa. Cilia pale ochreous, in apex and along 
basal half somewhat brighter ochreous, on costa blotched with blackish- 
brown opposite costal dots; some three moderate suffused brown dots on 
basal half between terminations of veins 7—5. Hind wing pale ochreous, 
lighter than fore wing, faintly dotted and marbled with pale fuscous, 
more distinctly so in tornus; cilia pale ochreous, glossy, with a narrow 
greyish antemedian line; cilia around apex greyish, except at base. 
Ostium, a moderate funnel, dorsal wall strong, with narrow lateral 
processes. Limen strong, straight, laterally dilated, with lower wall 
hyaline. Colliculum strong, broad, somewhat constricted in middle, with 
a long narrow process ventrally. Ductus bursae short, broad, vesicular. 
Bursa copulatrix elongate, wall finely scobinate (Slide No. 484 D). 
Moss Forest Camp, 2800 m, October 11, 1938. One specimen. Super- 
ficially resembles Mimeoclysia pyridina Diakonoff, from Java.

Mjjroia? = finely woven 
$ 17 mm. Head, palpus, antenna and thorax pale creamy-ochreous, 
antenna faintly ringed with darker, thorax somewhat darker. Abdomen 
greyish-ochreous, anal tuft pale ochreous. Legs pale ochreous, anterior 
infuscated, tarsus pale-ringed. Fore wing with costa strongly arched 
anteriorly, gently sinuate posteriorly, apex subacute, projecting, termen 
sinuate above, rounded beneath, hardly oblique. Pale ochreous-whitish, 
suffused with pale tawny-ochreous and blackish, markings blackish. 
Anterior 2 / 8 of costa with small transverse marks; basal patch indicated 
by its narrow, convex edge, with a subquadrate suffused moderate 
brownish -blackish patch on middle posteriorly; central fascia formed by 
a narrow, oblique almost straight line, suffused with greyish, from J / 3 of 
costa, pointing towards dorsum before tornus; another, tolerably parallel 
blackish line from middle of costa towards tornus, forming anterior edge of 
costal patch, dilated posteriorly so as to form a cloudy blackish moderate 
spot, being the top of costal patch ; posterior edge of the latter indicated 
by a blackish suffused dot below costa, and by two larger subquadrate 
dark grey spots on costa before apex; a fine oblique line before apex, 
continued along upper part of termen by some fine blackish dotting; 
tornal fourth of wing occupied by a blackish suffusion, which is abruptly 
narrowed before middle of wing and stretches along dorsum to edge of basal 
patch ; this suffusion obscuring dorsal part of ordinary markings entirely, 
and transversely strigulated with black; this strigulation vertical, 
becoming coarser and well-defined posteriorly; wing elsewhere scattered 
with sparse brownish, greyish and blackish scales. Cilia (imperfect) pale
