EXOTIC MICROLEIUDOPTERA. 
GLYPHIPTERYGID^E. 
Mictopsichia microctenota, n. sp. 
3 . 15 mm. Head grey. Palpi whitish, second and terminal 
joints each with black basal and supramedian bands. Thorax dark 
grey, tegulse each with a blue line between two short pale yellow 
marks from anterior margin. Forewings rather elongate-triangular, 
costa slightly arched, termen straight, somewhat oblique; dark 
fuscous; a light yellow subcostal streak from base to touching 
costa at base, margined on both sides by shorter blue-metallic 
streaks ; a blue-metallic erect mark from dorsum near base ; a blue- 
metallic transverse line at p, a triangular patch formed of irregular 
fine whitish longitudinal striation extending over posterior half of 
dorsum, its apex touching middle of costa, including one or two 
bluish-silvery dots near tornus ; a slightly curved blue-metallic 
streak from costa at | to tornus, and another with upper half 
shining white from costa near apex to termen below middle, between 
these a yellow-ochreous spot in disc, second separated by a short 
yellow-ochreous streak from a short blue-metallic streak on apical 
part of termen : cilia iridescent-grey, base dark fuscous. Hindwings 
dark grey, on median part "of dorsum some very fine whitish trans¬ 
verse striation, preceding a blackish tornal patch containing two 
pale golden-metallic spots, several orange dots and specks, and with

cilia light iridescent-grey, a dark grey basal shade ; a pencil of 
white and dark grey hairs from base of dorsum.

Brenthia albimaculana Snell. 
India, Dehra Dun, 6 ex. of a small form (9 mm.) of this species, 
“ on teak,” November (Indian Forest Entomologist) ; in 3 of these 
specimens (the other 3 could not be examined) veins 9 and 10 of 
forewings were either stalked or coincident (in normal form they 
are separate), but I regard them as conspecific.

This example has a dark bronzy-brown terminal fascia of forewings 
recalling pariana, but the characteristic form of first line is exactly 
as in the type-specimen of the species, and different from any 
pariana that I possess ; yet it is possible that the two forms may be 
found passing into one another in intermediate regions. 
Choreutis drosodoxa, n. sp. 
(3 $ . 12-14 mm. Head light grey mixed whitish. Palpi 
grey, base white. Antennal ciliations fasciculated (2). Thorax
