are long, widening a little ontwardly with slightly rounded, nearly 

 straight external margin. The type has a casual resemblance to 

 the species of Tpimorp/ia. 



Himella fidelis, n. s. 



^ . Of a peculiar, soft warm grayish fuscous, the fore wings con- 

 colorous. The basal half line is indicated by black dots. Median 

 lines pale, even, shaded with blackish, approximate below the 

 median vein. Ordinary spots very large, a little paler than the 

 median space, rounded, very finely pale-circled, the reniform not 

 excavate. T. p. line a little waved or uneven, pale, with a narrow 

 preceding ochre3^-brown shade line, a little depressed on costa. A 

 very fine pale terminal line, fringes concolorous. Hind wings with 

 white fringes and whitish at base, else largely fuscous ; beneath 

 whitish, irrorate with fuscous, and with a discal dot, and faint 

 median shade. Thorax and head concolorous with fore wings. 

 Palpi black at the sides.

 Himella furfurata, n. s. 



% . Tiie structural characters are those of the genus, but this spe- 

 cies is ver}^ much smaller than the type, and the ornamentation is 

 more like Orthodes. Fore wings pale ochrey fuscous. Ordinary 

 lines geminate, blackish. T. a. line thrice dentatedly waved, 

 minutely denticulate on costa. Ordinary spots small, inconspicu- 

 ous, obsoletely outlined, the reniform darker than the wing, attenu- 

 ate, black stained inferiorly. T. p. line denticulate, broken up into 

 black points on the veins. Sub-terminal line pale, well removed 

 towards the margin, preceded by an inconspicuous series of darker 

 points. A terminal series of interspaced black dots. Costal edge 

 dotted. Hind wings very pale, immaculate. Beneath very pale ; 

 sparsely irrorate ; both wings show a distinct terminal series of 

 black dots ; there is a common median line and on the hind wings 

 a moderate discal mark. Palpi inconspicuously blackish out- 

 wardly. Head and thorax like fore wings.

 Tseniocampa capsella, n. s. 



% . The dark testaceous antennae are bi-pectinate ; the e^'es 

 hairy. The fore wings are blackish fuscous, silky, with an admix- 

 ture of reddish scales, and remind us of those of Dianthoecia 

 raeditata. The lines are narrow, faint, interrupted, white. The
