meet preceding streak on costa, sending from middle a white branch 
limiting a streak of black irroration along upper part of termen : 
cilia pale greyish, round apical area white speckled black, at apex 
a rufous-brownish bar. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale grey. 
Bihar, Pusa, bred May from larvae mining leaves of Polygonum 
glabrum ( Polygonacece ) (Rangi) ; 2 ex. Allied to virgulata . 
Epicephala scythropis, n. sp. 
S . 15 mm. Head, thorax dark grey. Palpi grey, towards base 
white/ Abdomen dark grey, ventral surface with oblique whitish 
bars on each side. Porewings narrow, obtuse-pointed, costa gently 
arched, termen continuous with dorsum ; dark grey, slightly speckled 
whitish, more strongly on apical fourth; a curved bluish-leaden 
transverse line near apex: cilia grey, round apical part of wing 
three dark grey shades. Hindwings dark grey; cilia grey.

( ' Euphorbiaceoe ) (F. R . Rao) ; 1 ex.

Scoparia tricitra, n. sp. 
2 . 12 mm. Head blackish on crown, face and sidetufts whitish- 
yellowish. Palpi black, apex of joints yellow-whitish. Thorax 
black, apex of metathorax and lateral edge of tegulse whitish- 
yellowish. Forewings elongate-triangular, termen straight, rather 
oblique ; black; markings pale yellowish ; a dot on base of costa; 
subdorsal and dorsal lines from base uniting in a dorsal streak 
to first fascia ; three narrow fascim (representing normal first, median, 
and second lines), first straight, oblique, second similar, parallel, 
but abruptly curved round on dorsum and extremely reflexed 
to touch first, third direct, obtusely angulated in middle, attenuated 
below this, swollen again towards dorsum and touching second 
near dorsum ; an irregular almost marginal line rather broadly 
interrupted in middle, end of lower segment bent in almost to 
touch third fascia: cilia ochreous-grey-whitish. Hindwings grey, 
slightly darker posteriorly; cilia whitish-grey, a grey subbasil

I am of opinion that Ghiliani Staud. cannot be distinguished 
specifically from this. I have seen 12 examples from Fuzhine 
(Coll. 0. Leonhard, Berlin Ent. Mus.), undoubtedly all conspeoific, 
in which the short red and linear grey-yellowish scales vary greatly 
in development, and are sometimes intermingled. The cilia are 
never really white, but in certain lights have a strong white 
reflection.
