STILBOSIS.—HOMALEDRA. 9 
This has much the appearance of Waishia amorphella Clms., from which it differs 
in neuration and in the distribution of the dark and pale colour-patches, which are 
however so similar in general tone as to remind one very strongly of that species. 
4. Stilbosis amphibola, sp. n. 
Antennae, basal joint with single pecten; bronzy brownish, with pale bars above. Palpi bronzy brownish, 
slightly speckled on their outer sides, except towards the apex. Head and Thorax bronzy brownish, the 
latter becoming paler, or more steely grey, posteriorly. Forewings bronzy brownish, with a slight 
purplish tinge, a few upstanding scales on the fold at one-sixth; a straight, transverse, bar of raised 
scales at the tornus ; a few of the darker scales at the base of the cilia, around the apex, are also slightly 
raised ; the space below the fold from base to middle is almost entirely shining steely whitish ; cilia 
bronzy grey, with shining steely white tips to some of the shorter scales around the apex. LHwxp. al. 
115 mm. Hindwings steely grey; cilia rather brownish grey. Abdomen bronzy, slightly mottled with 
paler shining scales. Legs bronzy brownish, the tarsi pale spotted; the rather hairy tibiae with steely 
whitish scales above each pair of spurs.

This species has much the appearance of Walshia amorphella Clms., it differs how- 
ever, not only in neuration, but also in the pattern of its colouring, the pale dorsal 
space not extending, as in that species, above and beyond the fold, but rather more in 
the direction of the base ; it differs in the same way from Stildosis juvenis Wlsm., which 
was at first thought to be Walshia amorphella.

1. Homaledra knabi, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 8.) 
Antennae fawn-ochreous. Palpi pale fawn-ochreous, whitish on their inner sides; the tuft at the end of the 
median projecting to the length of the short, suberect, terminal joint, which has two fuscous annulations. 
Head and Thoragz pale fawn-ochreous. Forewings pale fawn-ochreous, minutely dusted with fuscous, 
more thickly along the dorsum, where it forms a connected, narrow, speckled shade-band from flexus to 
tornus ; a small fuscous spot lies at about the middle of the fold, and another at the end of the cell below 
the middle; cilia pale fawn-ochreous. xp. al. 24 mm. Hindwings rather shining, pale bone-greyish ; 
cilia pale fawn-ochreous. Abdomen and Legs pale fawn-ochreous, the former slightly tinged with fuscous
