EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
closely strewn with small obscure strigulae of dark fuscous irro- 
ration ; short oblique black streaks slightly tinged ferruginous in 
disc about f and on end of cell : cilia light grey. Hindwings light 
grey, whitish-tinged in disc and towards base; cilia whitish.

CALLIPER ACTIS, n. g. 
Head with loosely appressed hairs ; ocelli inferior ; tongue deve¬ 
loped. Antennae -i, scape elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi 
long, recurved, second joint thickened with appressed scales (ter¬ 
minal joint broken, probably shorter, pointed). Maxillary palpi 
very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Thorax with posterior 
crest. Anterior tibiae and tarsi thickened with rather rough scales ; 
posterior tibiae rough-haired above. Forewings 16 furcate, 2 and 3 
stalked from angle, 4 approximated, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 
11 from Hindwings 1, trapezoidal-ovate, termen faintly sinuate 
beneath apex, cilia § ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 curved, parallel, trans¬ 
verse vein angulated between 5 and 6 , 6 and 7 nearly approximated 
at base, 7 curved upwards and connected at ^ by oblique bar 
with 8. 
A development of Epiphractis. 
Calliphractis phyllograpta, n. sp. 
5 . 19 mm. Head white. Palpi white, second joint speckled 
dark fuscous. Thorax white irrorated dark fuscous. Forewings 
elongate, slightly dilated, costa gently arched, rather abruptly bent 
at |, apex pointed, termen sinuate, somewhat oblique ; snow-white, 
some scattered dark fuscous specks, more numerous towards termen ; 
costal edge tinged ochreous from base to f ; an irregular light 
green spot beneath costa before middle, somewhat edged dark grey 
above and beneath; three deeper green dorsal blotches, more or 
less edged finely dark grey, first basal, oval, not quite reaching 
dorsal edge and extending half across wing, second from middle 
of dorsum, fasciate, very oblique, not reaching half across wing, 
third much smaller, semioval, praetornal, spaces between these 
tinged grey and irrorated blackish; two elongate light green marks 
on angles of cell; a small blackish mark towards apex : cilia white 
irrorated blackish, basal third nearly clear. Hindwings silvery- 
grey ; cilia pale greyish.

A novel and beautiful form ; the distortion of vein 7 of hindwings 
by the costal bar is presumably the cause of the changed relation 
of 6 and 7 , which is abnormal in the family; I am, however, satis¬ 
fied that this is its true position. A slight but distinct rosy tinge 
on undersurface of costa of forewings is interesting as recalling 
the habitual rosy colouring of Epiphractis. 
Cryptolechia trigama, n. sp.
