2. Embola dentifer, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 6.) 
Antennae stout, somewhat flattened; purplish fuscous, apex white. Palpi short, dependent; ochreous. 
Head dull orange. Thorax purplish fuscous. Fbrewings bright orange; the costa fuscous throughout, 
including the cilia, along it are distributed four dark, marginal, iridescent lilac metallic tooth-shaped 
spots, one basal, followed by two more before the middle, and one scarcely beyond the middle ; a little 
beyond the last the dark marginal band is increased in width and is continued around the apex to the 
commencement of the tornal cilia, suffused with a lilac iridescent gloss throughout; the base of the 
dorsum is dark fuscous, and beyond the base are three lilac iridescent tooth-shaped spots attenuated 
with the costal spots above them, the outer one of the series coalescing with the dark marginal band 
beyond it, the space between the dorsal spots being unshaded with fuscous. Hvp.al.13 mm. Hind- 
wings dark cupreous, beautifully iridescent in a strong light; cilia cupreous. Abdomen brownish 
fuscous, anal tuft ochreous. Legs cupreous, banded with pale ochreous.

1. Cosmopteryx irrubricata, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 1.) 
Antennae dark brown, with a series of narrow white streaklets above toward the base, and two silvery rings 
at two-thirds; the basal joint has also narrow silvery streaks along on either side. Palpi bronzy 
cinereous, the terminal joint with a fuscous line on either side. Head pale greyish brown; face steel- 
grey. Forewings dark brown, with a slightly paler band across the base, and another beyond the middle, the 
latter not reaching the costa ; at the outer edge of the pale basal band are three small steel-blue strigulae, 
the two upper ones very short, the third below the fold, about double their length; before the second 
pale band a narrow, metallic, rosy lilac fascia crosses the wing, a similar fascia occurring at the outer 
edge of the band, but like it failing to reach the costa; beyond this is a metallic lilae dorsal streak, half- 
way to the apex, with a silvery white costal spot above and between the two; the cilia at the extreme 
apex snow-white, above and beneath the apex brown. Haxp.al. 75mm. Hindwings and cilia greyish . 
brown. Abdomen [missing]. Legs greyish brown, with steel-white metallic streaks across the tibiae, 
and snow-white spots at the joints of the tarsi.
