EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
palpi abnormally developed for a Narycici , yet only by an exaggera¬ 
tion of the structure found in hemicopa Meyr., to which it is most 
allied, agreeing with the species in other particulars. 
Narycia ennomopis, n. sp. 
<3 . 10 mm. Head whitish. Palpi dark fuscous. Antennae 
compressed, simple. Thorax grey. Forewings elongate, costa 
gently arched, apex obtuse, terrnen obliquely rounded ; grey 
sprinkled darker, with a few dark fuscous scales ; a rather narrow 
slightly curved darker median fascia parallel to terrnen, obsolete on 
dorsum, preceded and followed by rather broad areas tinged whitish : 
cilia grey. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale grey. 
Fiji, Yunidawa, April ( H . Phillips) ; 1 ex. (Brit. Hus.). 
MONACHOPTILAS, n. g. 
Head rough-haired ; ocelli posterior ; tongue absent. Antennae 
c? broadly uniplumose except apical g. Labial palpi long, 
porrect, thickened with dense appressed scales, terminal joint short, 
obtuse or pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Hind tibiae with 
appressed scales. Forewings 2 from towards angle, 3 from angle, 
7 to apex, 11 from towards base. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate, 
cilia | ; 2 from |, 3 and 4 parallel, 5 and 6 approximated towards 
base, 7 parallel. 
Type hyperaestheticci. Allied to Melasina, distinguished by the 
unique antennae. 
Monachoptilas hyperaesthetica, n. sp. 
3 . 23 mm. Head light greyish-ochreous. Palpi light greyish- 
ochreous slightly sprinkled dark fuscous, terminal joint obtuse. 
Antennae furnished with a single series of pectinations as long as 
half the stalk, rough-scaled towards their tips. Thorax light grey 
mixed dark fuscous and whitish. Forewings elongate, slightly 
dilated, costa moderately arched, apex rounded-obtuse, terrnen 
obliquely rounded; whitish-grey thinly sprinkled grey and dark 
fuscous ; cloudy dark grey dots on terminations of veins : cilia 
grey-whitish. Hindwings light grey thinly sprinkled dark grey ; 
cilia grey. 
Madagascar; 1 ex. (Vienna Mus.). 
Monachoptilas musicodora, n. sp. 
3 . 34 mm. Head, thorax fuscous. Palpi over 3, straight, pale 
grey mixed dark grey, terminal joint pointed. Antennal pectina¬ 
tions nearly as long as half antennse. Forewings elongate, costa 
gently arched, apex obtuse, terrnen rather obliquely rounded ; 
fuscous sprinkled dark fuscous, tending to form very small strigulie, 
especially on costa, coalescence of these produces several obscure 
irregular dark cloudy blotches in disc : cilia grey. Hindwings 
rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 
Madagascar ; 1 ex. (Vienna Mus.).
