Macropiratis halieutica, n. sp. 
(5.29 mm. Head light fuscous, face oblique. Palpi fuscous, very 
long (4), cylindrical, somewhat thickened and slightly roughened 
above towards base, terminal joint short, obtuse. Antennal 
ciliations short. Thorax light fuscous mixed whitish. Porewings 
very elongate, very narrow at base, gradually dilated, costa 
moderately arched near apex, termen slightly rounded, oblique ; 
2 from | ; fuscous ; costal half whitish-ochreous from base to 
about and neuration sharply marked by white lines along veins 
2-8 ; some dark reddish-brown suffusion beyond this pale area, 
and on its lower edge in middle of disc; an oblique white streak 
from apex curved downwards towards tornus but becoming obsolete 
between veins 4 and 5 ; a white terminal line preceded by some 
darker suffusion : cilia brownish becoming whitish towards tips, 
and with a white bar at apex. Hindwings grey ; cilia light grey. 
Fiji, Lautoka, November (H . Phillips) ; 1 ex. (Brit. Mus.). 
Macropiratis heteromantis, n. sp. 
<5. 30 mm. Differs from halieutica only as follows: face 
vertical; palpi moderate (1|), scales tolerably pointed, terminal 
joint concealed ; antennal ciliations over 1 ; forewings 2 from |, 
costal half light brownish-ochreous, dorsal half and terminal area 
dark fuscous, whitish neural lines and oblique white apical streak 
as in halieutica ; hindwings rather dark grey. 
Ceylon, Kalutara, July (F . Machw >od) ; 1 ex. The singular 
differences, especially in the shape of head and development of 
palpi, between these two superficially very similar insects are 
apparently natural, but further material for investigation is very 
desirable. 
PTEROPPXORIDiE. 
Oxyptilus celebratus, n. sp. 
$ . 15 mm. Head, thorax white, a few minute greyish specks. 
Forewings cleft almost to middle, lobes narrow, first pointed, 
second termen very obliquely concave ; white, some slight greyish 
speckling, both lobes suffused pale pink and irregularly sprinkled 
grey; a small spot of dark grey suffusion above base of cleft; 
a moderate blackish grey costal streak beyond base of cleft, and a 
blackish dot beyond middle of first lobe ; irregular opposite black 
spots on both margins of first lobe and upper margin of second, 
some dark grey suffusion between and beneath them, and an 
irregular line of white scales following them, apical and terminal 
area beyond these sprinkled black : cilia on costa white with grey 
base, on termen white with two black marks' on first lobe and 
an interrupted subbasal line on second, within cleft and on dorsum
