GONIONOTA. 129 
1. Gonionota cnephaea, sp.n. (Tab. IV. fig. 26.) 
Antennae biciliate 1, slightly serrate; brownish ochreous. Palpi long, projecting, slightly recurved ; dark 
tawny, paler on their inner sides. Head fawn-grey. Thorax with a strong tuft; fawn-grey, shaded 
with dark tawny posteriorly ; tegulae tawny. Forewings with the costa much arched before the middle, 
apex obtuse, termen convex; dark tawny, with a yellowish white streak along the outer half of the 
costa, blending to yellowish ochreous at its lower edge, this colour gradually losing itself in the tawny 
wing-surface toward the end of the cell; on the lower two-thirds of the termen some fawn-grey occurs 
between the tawny lines which mark the veins, extending inward nearly as far as the cell ; cilia dark 
fawn-grey, with a pale line along their base. Hyp. al. 19 mm. Hindwings and cilia dark fawn-grey, 
a pale line along the base of the latter. Abdomen greyish fuscous above, whitish beneath. Legs bone-

9. Gonionota melobaphes, sp.n. (Tab. 1V. fig. 27.) 
Antennae biciliate 1; reddish ochreous, shaded with brown towards the apex. alpi long, erect, slightly 
curved, the median joint scimitar-shaped, terminal joint tufted above nearly to its apex; reddish 
brown, mixed with yellow, the tufts above the joints yellow. Head bright yellow, mixed with rosy red. 
Thorax strongly tufted; bright yellow, much mixed with rosy red, the tuft tipped with dark tawny 
brown. Forewings much arched before the middle, apex obtusely rectangular, termen slightly convex, 
tornus rounded; for the most part tawny brown, with darker and paler shades, approaching tawny 
fuscous, on and below the middle of the fold and a little before the apex, and fawn-brown toward the 
termen; a broad patch of yellow, suffused with reddish ochreous and slightly speckled with brown 
scales, extends from the base to one-sixth of the wing-length along the dorsum, to one-half along the 
costa, and to the end of the cell below it, being somewhat arched and partially interrupted before the 
middle of the wing; towards the apex the extreme costa is narrowly white; cilia dark brownish fuscous, 
tipped with white below the apex. Auwp. al. 18-22 mm. Hindwings pale yellowish brown; cilia 
shining, bone-greyish. Abdomen tawny fuscous above, whitish beneath. Legs shining bone-white; the 
anterior pair reddish brown externally on the tibiae and first tarsal joint.

3. Gonionota cristata, sp. n. 
Antennae reddish ochreous at the base, fading to brownish cinereous beyond the basal third. Palpt dark 
reddish ochreous, sprinkled with brownish on their outer sides, the apex of the short terminal joint pale 
ochreous. Head and Thorax reddish ochreous, mixed with some paler ochreous scales, and dusted with 
brownish, especially at the apex of the strong crest-like posterior tuft. Forewings with the costa much 
arched before the middle, not excavate beyond; rich reddish ochreous at the base, very dark brownish 
beyond, the basal third with some admixture of ochreous and dark fuscous scaling ; a curved line of 
dark scales marks the not-very-clearly-defined, outwardly-bowed edge of the bright basal patch, in the 
middle of which a shorter line of similar scales crosses the fold, others lying along the line of the fold 
itself; commencing a little before the outer fourth of the costa is a line of white scale-spots, tending at 
first very obliquely outward, but bent down parallel to the termen from a point opposite to the apex ;
