EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
CLEPSIGENES, n. g. 
Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae J, $ strongly fasciculate-ciliated, scape moderate, with¬ 
out pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint expanded 
with dense rough projecting scales beneath, widest in middle, 
rough-scaled also above, terminal joint as long as second, moderate, 
acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed to tongue. Anterior 
tarsi much longer than tibiae ; posterior tibiae densely rough-scaled 
above. Porewings 3 and 4 out of 2 from angle, 5 approximated, 
7 and 8 stalked, 7 to just below apex, 11 from middle. Hind- 
wings somewhat over 1, trapezoidal, termen faintly sinuate, cilia J-; 
2 from |-, 3 and 4 connate or very short-stalked, 5 nearly parallel, 
from near middle of transverse vein, 6 and 7 nearly approximated 
towards base. 
Apparently a development of the Cryptophcisa group. 
Clepsigenes dissota, n. sp. 
S . 28 mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi ochreous-white, basal 
third of second joint fuscous. Antennal filiations 4. Thorax 
ochreous-white, a dark grey posterior spot (apparently). Abdomen 
whitish, a light brownish-ochreous subbasal band. Pore wings 
elongate, rather dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen 
slightly rounded, somewhat oblique; whitish, scaling ribbed 
between veins, some scattered black specks ; a blackish-grey sub¬ 
quadrate spot on base of costa; discal stigmata black, a dark grey 
dot above first, some pale brownish suffusion and black sprinkling 
between these; some faint greyish suffusion about veins 7 and 8; 
terminal edge black between veins, forming a thicker mark at apex : 
cilia whitish. Hindwings pale whitish-violet; cilia whitish.

Letogenes festalis, n. sp. 
2 . 19 mm. Head, thorax white. Palpi brownish-orange, 
extreme tip white. Porewings somewhat elongate, rather dilated, 
costa gently arched, apex obtuse-pointed, termen rather sinuate, 
somewhat oblique; white; costal edge orange towards base; a 
rounded-triangular light brownish spot of raised scales, edged dark 
brown, towards costa beyond middle, touching edge of a light 
brown streak sprinkled dark brown beneath along costa from 
before middle to |, extremities attenuated; a fine dark fuscous line 
from costa near apex, crossing apex obliquely and continued along 
termen to near tornus : cilia light brown, a dark grey antemedian 
shade on termen, on tornal area wholly white. Hindwings white, 
faintly tinged grey towards apex ; cilia white.

form, nearly allied to the unique type of the genus from Java.
