EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
Acrolophus psoloessa, n. sp. 
(5 1 24-30 mm., $ 39-47 mm. Head, palpi, thorax dark 
fuscous, palpi $ extremely long* strongly recurved, reaching end 
of thorax, densely tufted with scales, $ moderately long, obliquely 
porrect, broadly tufted with dense scales, sometimes brownish. 
Antennae 3 brownish-ochreous, bipectinated throughout (4). 
Abdomen dark fuscous, <S clothed dense rough hairs throughout. 
Genitalia: uncus simple, stout at base, moderate, downcurved, 
pointed; valva short, broad, obtuse, upper angle produced into 
a strong incurved hook. Forewings 3 rather broad, posteriorly 
dilated, costa gently arched, termen rounded, somewhat oblique, 
2 more elongate and relatively narrower anteriorly ; all veins 
separate; brown more or less largely suffused dark purplish-fuscous, 
especially 3 , one £ lighter brown, strigulated dark fuscous, costa 
marked small blackish spots or strigulse ; a blackish triangular 
spot beneath middle of disc and another on end of cell, another 
smaller and less distinct midway between first and base: cilia 
fuscous or brownish, an interrupted dark fuscous subbasal line and 
obscure bars. Hindwings blackish-grey; cilia grey or light 
brownish, a darker grey subbasal line.

March {Hoffmann ); 8 ex. (type Vienna Mus.). The unusually 
dark hindwings of this species strike the eye. 
SCAEOSOPHIDiE. 
I now consider that the group of genera allied to Allotalanta and 
characterised by the peculiar structure of the cell in hindwings, 
hitherto included as a group of Oecoffioridce , should be separated as 
a distinct family. 
Cyphothyris pyrrhophrys, n. sp. 
3 . 14 mm. Head whitish, a brownish spot above antennae. 
Palpi whitish, second joint speckled fuscous, terminal joint with 
base and a median ring fuscous. Thorax whitish, shoulders brown. 
Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen very 
obliquely rounded; ochreous-whitish ; some slight brownish tinge 
towards costa anteriorly; a thick dark reddish-brown streak rising 
from dorsum near base and extended along fold to near middle, 
a white scaletuft beneath its apex, the dark brown plical stigma 
just beyond its apex; a broad reddish-brown fasciate streak from 
costa before middle to middle of termen, discal stigmata appearing 
as small dark dots in this ; a rather narrow suffused brown streak 
along posterior half of costa, cut by a very oblique whitish striga 
from about | of costa, and a less distinct parallel whitish line 
beyond this; some slight brownish irroration beyond middle of 
dorsum and towards tornus : cilia ochreous-whitish, two or three 
fine incomplete brown or dark brown lines. Hindwings and cilia 
whitish-ochreous.
