Tinea fictrix Meyr. 
Bihar, Pusa, bred April from larva feeding in excrement of bats 
(T. B. Fletcher ); 1 £ ex. Described from one Formosan and one 
Indian (also from Pusa) specimen; forewings originally described 
as fuscous sprinkled pale greyish-ochreous ; this example would be 
better described as pale greyish-ochreous sprinkled fuscons; there 
are no definite markings. The $ frenulum is strong, simple, but 
softer in appearance and less pointed than in ordinary males ( fictrix 
3 not known), this is not noted in the original description, and is 
a curious exceptional character ; the unusually short antennse are 
perhaps overestimated at f ; otherwise a normal Tinea , with strong 
projecting ovipositor.
