dorsal projection. Valva elongate, curved, cucullus dilated, obliquely 
rounded, with a patch of modified bristles above, sacculus short, with a 
small apical projection. Aedoeagus rather long, base gradually dilated. 
Cornuti a sheaf of long spines (Slide No. 473 D, holotype). 
$ 20 mm. Head and antenna light fulvous, thorax bright fulvous (palpi 
missing). Abdomen pale ochreous, tinged with greyish above. Legs pale 
ochreous (incomplete). Fore wing elongate-truncate, little dilated, costa 
considerably curved anteriorly, little curved posteriorly, apex subobtuse, 
somewhat projecting, termen slightly convex above, rounded beneath. 
Rather bright fulvous, faintly dotted with greyish throughout, dotting 
finer posteriorly, forming indistinct transverse strigulae. Cilia deep reddish- 
fulvous. Hind wing whitish, suffused with pale ochreous posteriorly, tinged 
throughout with pink; cilia pinkish- white. 
Ostium broad, sclerotized. Limen broad and straight in middle, narrowed 
laterally; below limen a narrow transverse band of weak chitine with a 
small circular plate at each side; a large semiovate plate, indent in middle 
below, covering preceding from ventral side. Ductus bursae very narrow 
and long, upper half finely scobinate. Bursa copulatrix invert, elongate- 
ovoid. Signum, a small serrate tooth (Slide No. 474 D, allotype). 
Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 8, 1939 (holotype, male), January 17, 
1939 (allotype, female). Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 22, 1939. Two males, 
one female. Closely allied to preceding; female can be distinguished by 
much more curved costa, and by the genitalia. 
Tremophora guttulosa spec. nov. (figs. 267, 268) 
$ 18.5 mm. Head, antenna and thorax fulvous. Palpus pale ochreous, 
very densely and regularly irrorated with fulvous. Abdomen greyish - 
ochreous, whitish towards base. Legs pale ochreous, anterior tibia and 
tarsus considerably, median faintly infuscated; tarsi light-ringed. Fore 
wing elongate-subtruncate, rather narrow, little dilated. Costa gradually 
considerably curved throughout, except towards apex, apex rather acute, 
somewhat projecting, termen sinuate, little oblique. Light tawny-fulvous, 
slightly tinged with greyish, somewhat glossy, regularly dotted with 
small erect-transverse dull bright fulvous dots, arranged in slightly out- 
wardly curved little oblique rows throughout the wing; rounded and 
erect-ovate moderate pale yellow dots edged with fulvous spread as 
follows: a group in 1 / s of disc, some three less distinct dots below middle 
of costa, and three larger dots in an oblique series from middle of termen; 
a short pale yellow, fulvous-edged and parted moderate vertical mark on 
middle of dorsum, reaching to fold, crowned by a blackish dot; before 
this mark a row of some four smaller pale yellow dots along fold; a larger 
rounded dot on closing vein: a row of small blackish points along posterior 
half of dorsum, in tornus, and along termen to apex; three or four some- 
what curved rows of similar points running transversely before apex, and 
before upper part of termen. Cilia light ochreous turning fulvous towards
