EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
CTENOMEDES, n. g. 
Face with tuft of scales; tongue developed. Antennae uni- 
pectinated on basal half, base of stalk with sinuation filled with 
tuft of scales, scape thickened with dense scales. Labial palpi long, 
second joint long, obliquely ascending, thickened with dense scales, 
terminal joint short, depressed, pointed. Maxillary palpi concealed 
between labial (probably penicillate). Forewings 4 and 5 closely 
approximated towards base, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 nearly approximated 
towards baso. Hindwings 2 from very near angle, 3 appressed to 
stalk of 4 and 5 towards base, 7 out of 6 near origin, nearly approxi¬ 
mated to 8 to f. 
Allied to Salebria. 
Ctenomedes neuractis, n. sp. 
3 . 24 mm. Head, palpi, thorax light brownish, crown pale 
ochreous. Forewings very elongate-triangular, costa gently arched 
towards apex, termen almost straight, little oblique, rounded 
beneath; pale greyish-ochreous speckled fuscous, suffused darker 
fuscous on costal third ; first line about | but hardly traceable, pre¬ 
ceded by a very oblique black dash beneath fold, and followed 
towards dorsum by a transverse tuft of scales; a dark fuscous 
transverse mark on end of cell; second line about pale and 
tolerably distinct on upper half, becoming irregular and obscure 
towards dorsum ; a dark fuscous terminal line : cilia fuscous, with 
series of pale points, a pale basal line. Hindwings pale greyish- 
ochreous, costal area suffused fuscous ; veins from 1 6 to 4 streaked 
dark fuscous on median third; a dark fuscous terminal line 
becoming faint towards tornus; cilia ochreous-whitish, a fuscous 
subbasal line. 
India, Dehra Hun, bred December from larva feeding on leaves 
of Elaeodenclron glaucum (Celastracecz ) (Indian Forest Service); 
1 ex. (Brit. Mus.). Two 2 specimens, Haipur Forest, Dehra Dun, 
bred March from larvae feeding on leaves of Casearia graveolens 
(Flcicourtiacece ), 19-24 mm., forewings both lines more distinct, 
hindwings whitish infuscated towards costa but without dark 
streaks on other veins, antennae simple, appear to me (notwith¬ 
standing the different foodplant) to be the other sex of this species. 
GELECHIADiE. 
Isophrictis microlina, n. sp. 
2 . 14 mm. Head, palpi white. Thorax ochreous-whitish, 
tegulae slightly tinged grey. Forewings whitish-ochreous irrorated 
grey, appearing light greyish-ochreous, greyer towards apex ; stig¬ 
mata dark grey, plical and first discal linear, plical obliquely 
anterior, placed in a rather long whitish streak on fold, second 
discal dot-like, connected with first by a whitish streak; three or
