SYSTASIOTA.—HOLOPHYSIS. 29 
1. Systasiota leucura, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 25.) 
Antennae mouse-grey. Palpi mouse-grey, paler on their inner sides; the median and terminal joints about 
equal in length, slender, recurved, naked. Head olive-grey, the face paler. Thorax olive-grey, with a 
dark brownish band across the front; silvery whitish beneath. Jorewings dark umber-brown, with 
a leaden grey costal patch at the base reaching nearly to one-third, widened and produced downward at 
its outer end, but scarcely touching the fold; joining it at the extreme base is a leaden grey band, 
running along the dorsum below the fold to beyond the middle, where it is joined by a transverse fascia 
starting narrowly on the costa, enclosing a dark brown spot on the cell and consisting above the middle 
of shining silvery blue-grey scales, a narrower subapical fascia of the same colour, much zigzagged in its 
course, precedes the termen ; the apex is slightly caudate, and is distinctly marked by a slender whitish 
ochreous line, along the base of the dark brown costal cilia, which is continued along the upper half of 
the sinuate termen ; terminal cilia dark brown, with a curved white patch immediately below the apex 
which is very apparent on the underside. Zwp. al. 13 mm. Hindwings dark bronzy brown; cilia 
slightly paler; underside with a broad silvery whitish costal patch beyond the middle. Abdomen 
shining leaden greyish ; silvery whitish beneath. Legs dark brown, with two broad white bands on the 
tibiae and three or four white tarsal annulations. 
Type 3 (65736) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.).

9. Holophysis emblemellu Clms. 6. 
Antennae 3, slightly serrate; basal joint without pecten. Labial Palpi slender, recurved, divergent, smooth ; 
terminal joint as long, or longer than median, acute. Maaillary Palpi rudimentary. Haustellum well- 
developed. Ocelli present. Head and Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, widening 
somewhat outwardly; costa rather straight, apex depressed, obtuse, termen subsinuate: . neuration 
12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked, to costa; 2 and 3 stalked ; rest separate. Hindwings 1, apex obtuse, termen 
slightly sinuate: newration 8 veins; 3 and 4 short-stalked; 5 radial; 6 and 7 connate, or closely 
approximate. Abdomen smooth. Legs smooth ; hind tibiae slightly hairy above. 
Derived from Anacampsis Crt., from which it differs in the shorter palpi, and in 
FW: 2-3 being stalked; it resembles Strodisia Clms., and Trichotaphe Clms., in
