EXOTIC MICROEEPIDOPTEBA. 
Hind wings 1, trapezoidal-ovate, cilia ^; 2 from J, 3 from angle, 
4 well separated, from bend in transverse vein, which then becomes 
inwards-oblique, 5 parallel, from above its middle, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Presumably related to Roeslerstammia , from which, however, it 
differs considerably in neuration. 
Rhabdocosma aglaophanes, n. sp. 
B. 18 mm. Head shining purple-coppery. Palpi pale rosy- 
yellowish, terminal joint dark purplish-brown. Antennae dark 
fuscous, becoming deep purple on thickened area, a broad whitish 
band above middle. Thorax shining coppery-bronze. Abdomen 
dark purplish-grey. Forewings elongate, rather dilated, costa 
gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded; bright 
golden-coppery suffused rosy-purple, costa slenderly dark purple- 
blue from base to about £: cilia concolorous. Hindwings rather 
dark fuscous-grey ; cilia grey, basal third fuscous.

Labdia aphanogramma Meyr. 
2 ex. stated bred August, September from Oirarclinia hetero-

Labdia cyanodora, n. sp. 
S $ . 12-13 mm. Head white, crown suffused pale grey. 
Palpi white, anteriorly suffused light grey, terminal joint with dark 
grey subapical band. Thorax red, four light grey-blue stripes. 
Abdomen grey, basal half yellow-ochreous. Forewings very 
elongate-lanceolate ; larger basal half red, smaller apical half pale 
clear yellow, division rather outwards-oblique from middle of costa ; 
grey-blue markings as follows, viz. a dorsal streak from base to 
near tornus, a streak from base along fold upturned at extremity 
to middle of wing (in one example a connection between these 
beyond their middle), a streak from base of costa running into 
plical streak about and supramedian and subcostal streaks (in the 
Assam example confluent) from about | to middle, costal edge white 
above these; some silvery-white suffusion following the division of 
colour, a black dot in disc about §, and a black subcostal speck 
surrounded by white slightly before it: cilia pale yellowish, in one 
example rosy-tinged, beneath tornus greyish. Hindwings and cilia 
grey, apical cilia sometimes tinged pale yellowish; in <y a grey 
hairpencil from base resting on abdomen. 
Bengal, Kalimpong, Kurseong; Assam, Sadiya; bred April, 
stated to be from Aero carpus, Quercus, Termincilia , and an unknown 
creeper ( Indian Forest Service ), but doubtless the larva is a refuse- 
feeder like its near congeners, and not specially attached to
