another has a pale oehreous dorsal hand from base to near tornns 
expanded in disc to include the large median scale tuft; another 
has the same area white, with fasciae of white reticulation from 
costa at ^ and apex joining it in middle of disc. As there is now 
only one known species of Ardexxtica (which strongly resembles a 
Peronea, but has 7 of forewings to below apex), the extensive 
variation can be discounted, and it can be recognised by structure.

Antispila selastis, n. sp. 
d £ . 5-6 mm. Head, thorax shining dark violet-fuscous. 
Palpi oehreoas-whitish. Forewings 2 free, 3 and 4 absent, cell 
open between 2 and 5, 5 from upper angle connate with 7, 6 absent, 
7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 9 and 10 absent, 11 from middle; 
- gloss}- dark blue-grey irrorated black ; markings pale oehreous or 
whitish-ochreous, sometimes with golden-metallic reflection; a 
slender rather irregular somewhat inwards-oblique fascia from | 
of costa to dorsum; acute-triangular opposite costal and dorsal 
spots beyond middle, almost meeting: cilia light grey, basal third 
irrorated black, a median black line, blind wings 2 free, 3 and 4 
absent, cell open between 2 and 5, 5 and 7 connate from before 
middle of wing, 6 absent ; bronzy-grey ; cilia grey. 
Bombay, Karwar, bred August, September ( Maxwell ); 9 ex. 
Larva cylindrical, segmental incisions strong, tapering posteriorly, 
yellowish, dorsal canal darker green ; mines in August a winding 
gallery in leaf of Psychotria Dalzdli (llubiacece ), usually along 
edge, filled with brownish excrement; finally clears an irregularly 
oval patch which it cuts out to form pupal capsule; the spindle- 
shaped cocoon formed in situ within the capsule, which ultimately 
drops out (Maxwell). 
Antispila micrarcha, n. sp. 
8 9 . 3-4 mm. Head silvery. Palpi whitish. Thorax shining 
bronzy-grey. Forewings neuration as in selastis , but 8 absent; 
dark purple-grey ; markings shining white; a fascia at slender, 
on costa and widening inwards considerably towards dorsum ; tri¬ 
angular spots on costa at f and on dorsum somewhat anterior to 
it, both reaching nearly half across wing : cilia whitish-grey, within 
a dark fuscous antemedian line grey. Hindwings as in selastis ; 
grey; cilia grey. 
Bombay, Karwar, bred July ( Maxwell ) ; 12 ex. Larva mines a 
gallery in leaf of Odina ivodier (Anacavdiacece ), thus ; it first 
mines down a vein towards midrib creating an infected narrow 
area, then turns round and mines back adjacent to outer edge of 
infected area, which begins to dry up and crack away from sound 
part of leaf; on reaching nearest possible point to.oiiginal starting- 
place it turns and mines a close zigzag regular series of furrows 
(back and forth, like a ploughman) at right angles to the infected
