EXOTIC MICKOLEPIDOPTEKA. 
Komalopsycha pericharacta, n. sp.

grey. Palpi pale ochreous mixed grey, terminal joint extremely 
short. Thorax pale greyish-ochreous, a dark grey spot on shoulder. 
Pore wings apex pointed, termen very obliquely rounded; light 
greyish-ochreous, strewn small spots of dark grey irroration, 
margins, especially costa, more closely and definitely spotted dark 
grey; a cloud)' dark grey transverse bar on end of cell : cilia pale

Natal, Impetyeni Porest, August Swinny ) ; 1 ex. (Coll, danse). 
Prothinodes arvicola, n. sp. 
5 . 22 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi ochreous-whitish, 
anterior edge of terminal joint infuscated. Thorax bronzy-fuscous. 
Forewings apex obtuse-pointed, termen very obliquely rounded ; 
bronzy-tuscous, posteriorly suffusedly irrorated dark fuscous, costa 
indistinctly striguluted dark fuscous ; three or four dark fuscous 
striguke longitudinally arranged in median portion of disc, separated 
by wbitish-ockreous suffusion : cilia pale greyish-ochreous, basal 
half sprinkled fuscous, posteriorly tinged fuscous. Hindwings 
light grey; cilia whitish-grey. 
Natal, Stellenbosch, March (Brain)) 1 ex. (Coll. Janse). The 
genus Prothinodes is represented hitherto only by two New Zealand 
species, with which the present insect entirely agrees in structure; 
it differs from Tinea by the peculiar palpi, which are long, curved, 
ascending, with tutted second joint, and terminal joint as long as 
second. 
Drimylastis stiphropa, n. sp. 
$. 8-9 mm. Head whitish, suffused fuscous on crown. Palpi 
white, second and terminal joints each with a dark fuscous band. 
Thorax white sprinkled fuscous, anterior margin marked dark 
fuscous. Forewings 8 separate; white, irregularly sprinkled 
fuscous and dark fuscous ; small dark fuscous spots on costa at 
1 and alternating with transverse strigulse of dark fuscous irro¬ 
ration ; a dark fuscous spot about fold at p, and a small one on 
dorsum at |; rather broad, slightly oblique dark fuscous fascim 
from costa at middle and f, not reaching dorsal margin ; a spot on 
tornus below end of second fascia, one on termen beyond this, one 
or two small spots on costa towards apex, and one at apex : cilia 
light fuscous, sprinkled white and dark fuscous. Hindwings rather 
dark grey, lighter towards base ; cilia grey. 
Kaskmie, Srinagar, 5200 feet, July to September, “flying round 
apple-bark at sunset” (Fletcher). The separation of vein 8 in 
forewings does not impair the definition of this very distinct 
genus.
