EXOTIC M1CROLEP1DOPTERA. 
strigulated and reticulated ferruginous ; basal patch 3 represented 
by a reddish-fuscous blackish-speckled streak below fold and an 
obtusely angulated oblique limiting stria on lower |, $ not 
indicated; central fascia narrow, very oblique, reddish-fuscous, 
anteriorly well-defined, posteriorly irregular and suffused, dilated 
on dorsum: an irregular reddish-fuscous double spot on costa 
about |, 3 extended in a fasciate streak to termen below middle 
and connected on tornus with central fascia, this in § reduced to 
a dark irregular stria representing its anterior edge and not 
reaching tornus : cilia yellowish. Hindwings and cilia pale 
whitish-yellowish. 
Java; Philippines, Los Banos (Baker); 3 ex. Very like 
melichroa Low., which can be distinguished, <3 by posterior streak 
not connected with central fascia on tornus, $ by presence of a 
spot of pale ochreous-gre}' suffusion on middle of terminal cilia of 
hindwings. My previous record of melichroa from Java was 
erroneous, and founded on this species. 
Adoxophyes parastropha Meyr. 
5- 20 mm. Forewings broader than 3 , costa anteriorly strongly 
arched, posteriorly rather deeply sinuate, apex prominent, termen 
concave on upper half, rounded-prominent on lower; brownish- 
ochreous, markings brown, as in 3 but sometimes obscure, costal 
patch more developed and extending to apex. Hindwings pale 
yellowish, dorsal half light grey. 
2 ex., one taken with 3 but owing to dissimilarity not hitherto 
identified, the other from Shillong, 5000 feet, September (Fletcher). 
Adoxophyes prosiliens, n. sp. 
3 . 10-12 mm. Head, palpi, thorax pale oehreous. Forewings 
rather broad, costa anteriorly moderately arched, posteriorly nearly 
straight, termen slightly rounded, nearly direct; pale oehreous, 
rather thinly scaled in disc ; a few minute dark fuscous dots on 
costa ; markings brownish-ochreous or brown, sprinkled blackish 
on edges; two irregular marks near base in middle and towards 
dorsum at | ; two narrow fasciae, first from towards costa at ^ to 
dorsum at J-, slightly curved, second from | of costa to termen 
above tornus, broader on costa and edged with two small dark 
fuscous spots: cilia pale oehreous. Hindwings grey-whitish, towards 
tornal area pale grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 
Andamans, Port Blair, August, October (Ferrar) ; 2 ex. Nearest 
moderatana , but subcostal end of first fascia nearer base, this fascia 
therefore more oblique and curved instead of straight. 
Adoxophyes horographa, n. sp. 
5 . 18 mm. Head, palpi, thorax pale brownish-ochreous. Fore¬ 
wings oblong, costa anteriorly moderately arched, termen nearly 
straight, vertical; pale oehreous ; some broAvnish-oehreous dots on
