EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
Java, Seneng, bred December from larvae feeding on grains of 
Sescimum indicum (Dr. L. G. E. Kalshoven ) ; 6 ex. I formerly 
identified examples of this form from Pekalongan as falcatella 
Staiut., from which I now find it to be distinct; it is also allied to 
the African stigmatophora Wals. 
Pyroderces philogeorga, n. sp. 
d 5 . 10-11 mm. Head, thorax reddish-oehreous, face tinged 
whitish, thorax sometimes mixed dark brown. (Palpi missing.) 
Porewings reddish-oehreous ; basal patch darker, sometimes suffused 
dark brown, edge very obliquely curved, margined black on lower 
half, followed by white suffusion dilated towards costa and containing 
a black subcostal dot; a rather oblique ill-defined antemedian fascia 
formed by costal and discal deeper reddish-oehreous or fuscous 
blotches and dorsal blotch of black irroration, short white streaks 
between these, upper sometimes extended to costa at |; a more or 
less developed streak of black irroration from middle of disc to costa 
towards apex, and another from tornus sinuate along termen to 
apex, partly edged white above : cilia grey, a blackish direct bar 
beneath apex. Hindwings dark grey ; cilia grey. 
Tanganyika, Moshi, bre4 June from larvae feeding on the Coccid 
Pseudococcus perniciosus (A. H. Ritchie ) ; 5 ex. (type Brit. Mus.). 
Syntetrernis neoconrpsa, n. sp. 
5 . 17 mm. Head light brownish-grey, white lateral streaks. 
Palpi white, second joint with grey subapical ring, terminal joint 
with grey lateral line. Thorax light brownish-grey, five white lines. 
Porewings narrow-lanceolate ; grey-brownish ; markings white ; a 
short very oblique streak from base of costa ; a fine line on dorsal 
edge towards base ; an oblique streak from costa at 4 to fold ; an 
oblique streak from costa at t in an even curve through middle of 
disc to costa at a line running from fold at | to dorsum in 
middle of wing, thence to disc at J, and returning to termen beyond 
tornus ; a streak from disc at | to apex ; cilia light brownish-grey, 
a white bar at apex and finer one above tornus. Hindwings and 
cilia grey. 
Argentina, Alta Gracia (C. Bruch) ; 1 ex. A novel form. 
Stagmatophora acanthodes, n. sp. 
J 5 . 7-8 mm. Head, thorax dark bronzy-fuscous. Palpi 
whitish, second joint with dark fuscous subapical ring, terminal 
joint lined dark fuscous. Porewings dark bronzy-fuscous; markings 
silvery-white ; a slender somewhat oblique transverse fascia about 
attenuated and hardly reaching dorsum, a second from costa about 
middle, direct, not reaching dorsum, its extremity sometimes
