BRACHMIA.—NOEZA. 85 
outwardly, termen oblique, apex scarcely depressed; pale olivaceous greenish, with fuscous cloud-like 
spots—one at the base of the costa, reduplicated on the base of the cell, the lower portion stretching a 
little beyond the upper; one a little beyond the middle of the cell, reduplicated on the upper edge of the 
fold, below and a little beyond it; one on the costa before the cilia, and another, smaller and more 
clearly defined, a little before it on the end of the cell; the wing-surface is somewhat sprinkled with 
fuscous scales, and a series of fuscous spots along the middle of the terminal cilia is continued around the 
apex, with which exception the cilia are pale greenish ochreous. Ewp.al.13 mm. Hindwings 1*, 
trapezoidal, not sinuate below the apex; pale rosy grey; cilia pale cinereous. Abdomen greyish fuscous ; 
anal tuft greenish ochreous. Legs pale cinereous, the tarsi and ends of the tibiae faintly spottcd.

Type: Noeza telegraphella Wkr. (Wkr. 1866). 
Norza Wkr. Cat. Lp. BM. 35 1839-40 (1866). 
Antennae 1, basal joint without pecten. Labial Palpi long, recurved; median joint scimitar-shaped, laterally 
compressed, smooth at the sides, with long hairs above and below, except towards the base; terminal 
joint slender, pointed. Mazillary Pulpi well-developed. Haustellum scaled. Head and Thorax smooth. 
Forewings with costa bulged towards the base, depressed at or beyond middle, apex obtuse, termen 
somewhat oblique, tornus rounded: neuration 11 veins; 7-8 coincident, to costa; 2-3 stalked ; rest 
separate. Hindwings 1+, termen obliquely rounded, not incised below apex: neuration 8 veins; 
6-7 closely approximate ; 3-4 connate, or short-stalked ; 5 cubital, about midway between 4 and 6; 
discoidal obsolescent between 5 and 6. Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae slightly haired above. 
Allied to Dichomeris Hb. and Anorthosia Clms., but differing in general structure, 
as well as in the coincidence of FW: 7-8. 
1. Noeza auritogata, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 6.) 
Antennae, & diciliate 1; pale chestnut. Pulpit with the base and upper two-thirds of the median joint pale 
chestnut, its apex and lower third bright yellow; terminal joint scarcely half the length of the median, 
white. Head chestnut above; face whitish. Thorax chestnut. Forewings with the costa bulged towards 
the base, depressed on the middle, apex obtusely subfaleate; termen slightly concave, slightly oblique, 
tornus obtuse; reddish chestnut, with a patch of reddish ochreous, slightly raised scales on either side of 
the fold at about one-fourth; a small dark chestnut spot at the end of the cell; an elongate transverse 
dark chestnut shade, separated from the termen by a shining lilac marginal line, which is widened 
upward to the apex, whence it is diffused and diluted inward over the wing-surface, at least as far as 
the upper angle of the cell; cilia rich reddish chestuut. Eup. al. 21 mm. Hindwings golden-yellow ; 
cilia slightly tinged with chestnut at the extreme apex. Abdomen golden yellowish. Legs reddish 
chestnut, pale ochreous on their inner sides.

9. Noeza oncotera, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 7.) 
Antennae delicately annulate with black and very pale yellow. Palpi with the median joint thickened above 
and beneath; terminal joint scarcely shorter than the median, slender; the former ferruginous externally, 
the latter whitish ochreous. Head ochreous, shaded with ferruginous posteriorly. Zhorax pale ochreous, 
margined in front with ferruginous. Forewings narrow at the base, widened outwardly, apex rounded, 
termen oblique; pale yellowish ochreous, suffused with ferruginous towards the termen, and in a large 
blotch extending from the base on either side of the fold and along the dorsum to the commencement of 
the tornal cilia, its outer extremity somewhat attenuate, leaving a space of the same ground-colour
