1. Porpe clemensella, sp. n. 
Antennae biciliate 24; distinctly annulate with white and brownish fuscous. Palpi projecting nearly the 
length of the head beyond it, terminal joint short, porrect, pointed; the median joint clothed with a 
long brush beneath, divided into five or six separate hair-pencils, almost as long as the palpi themselves ; 
the whole brownish fuscous, speckled with whitish. Head brown, delicately speckled with white. 
Thorax brown, with a delicate white line along the edge of the tegulae. Forewings somewhat triangular, 
costa slightly arched, termen oblique, dorsum slightly convex, but narrowing to the base; dark umber- 
brown to beyond the middle, varied with orange-brown and steel-grey ; a bright metallic steel-grey dash, 
from the base below the costa, rests upon the upper edge of an orange-brown basal streak below it, 
which is interrupted by a transverse band of diffuse steel-grey speckles, terminating in a white oblique 
costal spot ; the dark portion of the wing is margined at two-thirds by a steel-grey line, rising erect, from 
a little beyond a small steel-grey dorsal spot, but recurved from the end of the cell to the middle of the 
costa, where it terminates in a white spot beyond it; the terminal portion of the wing is orange-brown, 
interrupted by an oblique white costal streak, and by a steel-grey band, internally dark-margined, running 
parallel with the termen, bui not quite reaching the costa; cilia pale cinereous, with a brownish fuscous 
line along their base, reduplicated at half their length. vp. al. 11 mm. Hindwings greyish brown, 
with a similar reduplicated line in the pale cinereous cilia. Abdomen brown, with slender steel-grey 
transverse bands. Legs white, with numerous brownish annulations, spurs white.

2. Porpe loxotenes, sp. n. (Tab. IX. fig. 15.) 
Antennae ¢ Ddiciliate 3; annulate with brown and whitish cinereous. Palpi cinereous, shaded with 
brownish fuscous, a very long divided tuft beneath the median joint; terminal joint slender, pointed, 
porrect. Head cinereous. Yhorax brownish fuscous, margined posteriorly with pale cinereous; the 
tegulae streaked with the same. orewings brownish fuscous, with a pale cinereous band at one-fourth, 
slanting obliquely backwards from costa to dorsum ; a bronzy metallic streak along the costa from the base 
is accompanied by an olive-brown streak beneath it, reaching to the pale transverse band; beyond the 
band is a bronzy iridescent metallic streak, broken above the fold, and reverting to the dorsum beneath 
it, at its upper end a small pale costal spot; two larger whitish spots on the costa beyond the middle, 
with a few shining metallic scales at their lower and outer extremities—beneath and about these the 
darker wing-surface is profusely sprinkled with whitish cinereous atoms ; a large ocelloid patch, lying 
above the outer extremity of the fold, consists of two coppery metallic patches surrounded by black, 
separated by a slender line, and margined above by a pale cinereous longitudinal streak ; a narrow olive- 
brown band, around the apex, is preceded by a coppery metallic line running nearly parallel with the 
outline of the apex and termen ; cilia brownish cupreous, with two pale interruptions on the middle of 
the termen, and one smaller one at the tornus. Eup. al. 14 mm. Hindwings brownish fuscous, paler 
toward the costa, and with a pale spot, below the outer end of the cell, placed transversely and somewhat 
obliquely ; cilia pale cinereous, with a dark line along their base, reduplicated at the apex and on the 
abdominal half of the flexus. Abdomen greyish fuscous. Legs pale cinereous, the tarsi and hinder 
extremities of the tibiae banded with greyish fuscous, the pale spurs also streaked with the same.
