EXOTIC MICROL EPIDO PTERA. 
ochreous speckled fuscous; black dots at base of costa and almost 
at base of dorsum; stigmata black, plical directly beneath first 
discal; a series of rather la<rge black almost marginal dots round 
apical part of costa and termeu: cilia light greyish-ochreous, 
towards base tinged yellowish. Hindwings light grey; cilia light 
greyish-ochreous, a pale basal line. 
Java, Tapos, bred February from roof-covering (“ atap ”) of dry 
palm-leaves ( Dr.L. G. Kcdshoven) ; 1 ex. Nearest to ojpacci Meyr.; 
superficially extremely (but not exactly) similar to several species 
of Apethistis, in which, however, the termination of vein 7 of fore¬ 
wings is always terminal, not apical. 
Autosticha siccivora, n. sp. 
3 5 . 11 mm. Head, thorax brown mixed dark fuscous. Palpi 
dark fuscous, apex of second joint, and base and apex of terminal 
whitish. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, 
termen obliquely rounded; light brown irrorated fuscous; a dark 
fuscous dot on base of costa; stigmata rather large, dark fuscous, 
plical elongate, directly beneath first discal, a small similar spot on 
dorsum directly beneath second discal; a curved series of large dark 
fuscous dots just before margin round posterior third of costa and 
termen: cilia light brownish-ochreous, a few brown specks near 
base. Hindwings grey; cilia pale greyish-ochreous. 
Java, Telawa, bred August from larvae on dry leaves of 
Pithecolobium (Leguminosce ) ( Dr. L. G. Kalshoven) ; 2 ex. Probably 
the dryness of the leaf is more essential than the species of foodplant. 
Most resembling some examples of exemplaris Meyr., but imme¬ 
diately distinguished by the palpi. 
CECOPHOKID^E. 
Promalactis autoclina, n. sp. 
3 • 8-9 mm. Head, thorax dark ochreous-brown, face snow- 
white. Palpi fuscous becoming orange towards apex, terminal 
joint white with apical ^ blackish. Antennae white ringed dark 
fuscous, ciliations 2. Forewings orange; an oblique white streak 
edged black beneath above base of dorsum; basal area beyond this 
suffused dark brown, darker posteriorly, limited by an oblique white 
line edged black scales anteriorly; at | a slender direct blackish- 
grey fascia speckled white, dilated dorsally, followed on costal half 
by white suffusion; an apical, spot of blackish and whitish 
irroration : cilia orange-yellow, beneath tornus mixed grey. Hind¬ 
wings grey speckled darker; cilia light greyish. 
Japan, Tokyo, July {Prof. S. IssiJci ); 2 ex. Nearly allied to 
syndina , but that species has no white streak at base, the palpi 
also differ, and the antennal ciliations are shorter.
