MOFFATIA; FUMEA; HECKMEYERIA; STICHOBASIS; APRATA; PTEROXYS. By M. Gaede. 731 
a) Subfamily: Moffatiinae. 
1. Genus: Moffatia Mr. 
Remarkable for its very long antennae and the long; laterally projecting hair on the abdomen. The 
only species: 
M. plumicauda Mr., from Kunawar, has been dealt with already in Vol. II, p. 3G9. Wings transparent, plurni- 
veins and margin broad black. cauda. 
b) Subfamily: Funieinae. 
2. Genus: Fiimca Haw. 
Regarding the genus and subfamily cf. Vol. II, p. 367. 
F. serricula Meyr. Antennae not pectinated at the tips. Forewing somewhat elongated, costal margin serricula. 
slightly curved, apex truncate, distal margin oblique, bent. Both wings and fringe light grey. 9 mm. 
South India. 
F. limulus Pgnh. A doubtful Fumea, placed to the Tineidae by Hampson. Antennae strong, as long limulus. 
as the fore wing, with one row of dents. Forewing loam-coloured, strewn with blackish-brown scales and with 3 
round black spots. One in the centre of the cell, the second smaller one at the cell-end, the third, somewhat 
oblong one in the fold below the first. Besides black dots at the ends of the veins. Fringe ash-grey with a dark 
partition-line. Hindwing greyish-brown. Abdomen blackish-brown, anal tuft brownish ochreous. — The 
case constructed of sand, moss and lichens forms a narrow conical tube attaining a length of 1 % cm and bears 
in front above a broad round screen of a diameter of about 1 cm. $ 19 mm. Ceylon. 
F. taiwana Wil. & South. Forewing bronze brown, dusted with black, especially in the median area, taiwana. 
A black spot at the costal margin, and black marginal dots. Hindwing and under surface blackish. 18 mm. 
Formosa. The position in Fumea is somew'hat doubtful. 
c) Subfamily: Stichobasinae ( Psychoidinae Heyl.). 
The two inner-marginal veins of the forewing remain separated, no branch extends to the inner margin. Only a 
single pah' of spurs on the posterior tibia. 
3. Genus: Heckmeyeria Heyl. 
The antennae of the <$ are pectinated with long double dents. Head and thorax with long hair, ab¬ 
domen with short hair. Legs with long hair. A very long curved thorn on the anterior tibia, a pair of short 
spurs on the hinder tibia. Forewing with 11 marginal veins, hindwing with 7 marginal veins according to 
Heylaekts, 8 according to Snellen. Veins 7 + 8 of forewing stalked. 
H. pronubelia Sn. (91 a). Forewing dark greyish-brown, with a slight golden gloss. Hindwing ochreous, 'pronubella. 
the margin broadly brown of the colour of the forewing. — The greyish-yellow case of the larva is 15 mm long, 
somewhat conical, constructed of sand and moss, in front with some lobate appendices. 12 mm. Volcano 
of Arjuno (Java). 
4. Genus: Sticliobasis Ky. 
The long pectinations of the antennae are distantly separated. Tibia with a pair of long spurs. Veins 
6 and 10 are absent in the forewing; 8 and 9 stalked. In the hindwing veins 5 and 6 are absent; 8 is stalked 
with 7. This genus may not belong at all to the Psychidae like the following genus. 
S. sikkimensis Heyl. (= nilgirensis Hmps.). Thorax and forewing pale reddish-brown. Abdomen and sikki- 
hindwing brownish ochreous. <$ 17 mm. Nilgiris. m 
5. Genus: Aprata Mr. 
The two species described of this genus, macwoodi Mr. and thwaitesi Mr., are reckoned to the Tineidae now. 
d) Subfamily: Chaliinae Hmps. 
The two inner-marginal veins of the forewing anastomose distally, no vein branches off to the inner margin. Hind 
tibiae without spurs. 
6. Genus: Pteroxys Hmps. 
Antennae with very long pectinations. Anterior tibia without a spine. Wings long and narrow. Veins 
1 b and 1 c of forewing anastomose in the last third, veins 8 and 9 are stalked. A bar between veins 7 and 8 
of hindwing. The cell is divided by a forked vein in both wings.
