EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
Orneodes phanerarcha, n. sp. 
cJ . 31 mm. Head whitish, face partially tinged grey. Palpi 3|, 
porrected, white, second joint with rough projecting scales above 
and beneath, suffused whitish-ochreous and slightly sprinkled grey, 
terminal joint | of second, cylindrical, pointed, with median band 
of greyish suffusion. Antennae shortly bipectinated (1). Thorax 
whitish, a dark grey spot on shoulder. Abdomen whitish, with

basal fifth suffused pale greyish, short blackish-grey marks from 
base above and below middle ; a small faint pale ochreous-yeliowish 
spot on costa beyond this ; a narrow elongate whitish-yellowish 
spot on middle of costa, and small spots on segment 1 at ^ and | 
of its length; a rather undefined transverse-oval ochreous-yellow 
spot of partly raised scales in middle of wing ; some pale ochreous- 
yeliowish suffusion on segments 2-4 beyond this ; a fascia at J,

very faint yellowish-tinged transverse shade indicated at |. 
Zululand, Eshowe, December ( Platt ); 1 ex. (Coll. Janse). A 
notable species, the largest of the genus except Dohertyi ; extremely 
similar to the very much smaller habrophila, but certainly distinct, 
since habrophila has simply ciliated antennae and shorter 
terminal joint of palpi. Probably an early type. 
HELIODINID2E. 
Isorrhoa sidiota, Heyr. 
Kashmir, Srinagar, 5000 feet {Fletcher). The head (rather 
injured in the original type) should be described as silvery-white.

dark bronzy-fuscous. Palpi whitish; anterior edge of terminal 
joint dark fuscous. Thorax dark bronzy-fuscous, a whitish-yellow
