EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
fuscous : cilia light grey, three lines of dark fuscous irroration. 
Hindwings light grey ; cilia pale grey.

PR0T0HYCTIA, n. g. 
Head smooth ; ocelli large, posterior ; tongue developed. An¬ 
tennae |, S' moderately ciliated, scape moderate, with pecten. 
Labial palpi moderately long, straight, porrected, rather 'thick, 
smooth, terminal joint shorter than second, obtuse. Maxillary palpi 
absent. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Porewings 2 from 
angle, short, 3 and 4 absent, 5 short, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 
from middle. Hindwings f, narrow-lanceolate, cilia 3 ; 2-4 very 
short, cell open between 4 and 6, 5 absent, 6 and 7 approximated 
towards base. 
Protonyctia originalis, n. sp. 
S'. 7 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax dark fuscous, antennal 
ciliations 1. Forewiugs elongate-lanceolate ; dark fuscous, minutely

PYRALIDIIAE. 
BRAD YPO DICOLA, Spul. 
Head with appressed scales ; ocelli small, distinct, posterior; 
tongue developed. Antennae |, simple ( $ ). Labial palpi moderate, 
curved, obliquely ascending, with appressed scales, terminal joint 
as long as second, rather compressed transversely, obtuse-pointed. 
Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Legs normal, posterior tibiae with 
appressed scales. Eorewings 2 from very near angle, 3 and 4 out 
of 5, 6 from towards 7, 8 absent, 9 and 10 out of 7, 11 separate, 
rather curved and approximated to 12. Hindwings without cubital 
pecten ; 2 from near angle, 3 and 4 long-stalked from angle, 5 absent, 
transverse vein very deeply incurved, both angles forming slender 
projections, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to near 
middle. 
Allied to Endotriclia ; although a curious and distinct genus, 
I see no reason to separate it (or the Endotriclia group, as Hampson 
does) from typical Pyralidiclce. Spuler (whose material was in bad 
condition) has omitted vein 11 of forewings, and represents 2 as 
rising out of 5. 
Bradypodicola Hahneli, Spul. 
5 . 15-16 mm. Head, palpi rosy-grey. Thorax brownish-grey. 
Abdomen with short projecting slender cylindrical ovipositor. 
Forewings elongate-triangular, costa posteriorly gently arched, apex 
obtuse, termen somewhat obliquely rounded; light lilac-grey, 
irrorated darker grey; costa slenderly ochreous-yellowish; lines
