Psyche 
[December 
The hind-wing has no markings, and no cross-vein (ven- 
ulis externis) near tip, and a very short one in the disc be- 
tween the radial sector and median vein; the radial sector 
is three branched. 
Length of fore-wing 4 mm. 
From Ceylon (Hagen Coll.) ; sent him by Nietner. Type 
M. C. Z. 17026. 
Notiobiella peterseni sp. nov. 
Head pale yellowish, a black mark each side from eye to 
mouth, a rounded black spot below each antenna; vertex 
with faint dark marks in middle behind; antennae pale, 
faintly reddish beyond the base. Pronotum plainly longer 
than broad, pale, with lateral margins dark; thorax pale, 
with a dark mark above the base of each fore-wing; legs 
very pale. Wings pale; veins pale, but with a few dark 
spots or streaks ; stigma not marked, the base of the second 
radial sector and the connection to the first sector broadly 
black, also the cross-vein beyond the stigma from the radial 
sector to radius is broadly black, elsewhere there are sev- 
eral forkings of veins dark, and a cross-vein between cubi- 
tus and cubital fork black. In the hind-wings the radial 
sector is black between its first and second forking. In one 
hind-wing there is one, and in the other wing two cross- 
veins between the radial sector and radius beyond the 
stigma; radial sector with two branches, no cross-vein be- 
tween fork of median and the cubital veins. 
Length of fore-wing 7 mm. 
From Tananarive, Madagascar (Challiat). Type M. C. 
Z. 17027. 
Differs from nitidula Navas (Engl. E. Africa) as well 
as others by the mark on face, and mesonotum, mark on 
radial sector of hind-wing, and the radial sector of fore- 
wing arises nearer to the base than Navas figures, and 
many more costal veinlets.
