(ECOPHORIDiE. 
STASIXENA, n. g. 
Head with appressed scales (rubbed); ocelli posterior; tongue 
developed. Antennae f, <$ moderately ciliated, scape elongate 
(rubbed). Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint with appressed 
scales, terminal joint somewhat shorter than second, acute. Maxil¬ 
lary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. (Posterior legs 
broken.) Forewings 1 b furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 from 
angle; 3-5 approximated, 6-9 nearly equidistant, 7 to costa, 9 from 
angle, 10 from towards angle, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, 
elongate-ovate, cilia J; 2 from 3 and 4 connate from angle, 5-7 
parallel. 
At present I regard this doubtfully as an abnormal Oecophorid. 
Ho other member of the family has veins 7 and 8 of forewings 
separate, yet an undoubted instance of this abnormality has been 
proved to occur in the parallel family Gelecliiadce. The characters 
of the hindwings and head are quite normal for the family, and the 
genus does not appear to have any nearer relationship elsewhere. 
Stasixena subagrestis, n. sp. 
cJ. 19 mm. Head ochreous-grey-whitish. Palpi whitish, basal 
half of second joint externally dark fuscous. Antennal ciliations 1. 
Thorax light greyish-ochreous sprinkled fuscous. Abdomen rather 
depressed. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, faintly sinuate 
in middle, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; pale fuscous, 
irregularly ■ sprinkled rather dark fuscous; stigmata elongate, 
blackish, plical somewhat before first discal, second discal imme¬ 
diately followed by a blackish transverse mark on end of cell; an 
angulated shade of groundcolour from 4- of costa to tornus, indented 
near costa, preceded and followed by undefined fasciae of suffused 
fuscous irroration : cilia light fuscous irrorated paler. Hindwings 
grey, paler towards base ; cilia light greyish.

median streak of violet-whitish irroration from about | to apex, 
posteriorly more faintly expanded towards costa ; a suffused orange- 
yellow dorsal streak from near base, posteriorly attenuated on dorsal
