irregular patclies of purplish sujffusion in dorsal area beyond this 

 line. Underside pale orange-ochreous; a discal dot, and a broad 

 irregular subterminal band on both wings purple; terminal area 

 greenish.

Face smooth or shortly rough-haired. Tongue well developed. 

 Palpi moderate, ascending, basal and second joints densely 

 rough-haired beneatli, second joint rougli-haired on uppersurface, 

 terminal joint short in both sexes. Anteuna? in ^ pectinated, 

 apices simple. Thorax with a short but dense posterior crest; 

 beneath densely hairy. Abdomen with four large dense median 

 dorsal crests. Posterior tibiae with all spurs present; in ^ dilated, 

 witli internal groove and tuft. Hindwings without basal costal 

 expansion; frenulum and retinaculum in ^ strongly developed. 

 Forewings with 3 and 4 separate, 6 separate or stalked, 10 arising 

 separately from cell, 11 free, or anastomosing with 12, or with 12 

 and 10. Hind wing with 3 and 4 well separated at base, 6 and 7 

 short-stalked, 8 closely approximated to cell as far as middle, 

 then diverging; discocellulars not angled, only moderately oblique, 

 dor.sal curved. 



Type, HypocJtroma paratorna Meyr. In the separate origin of 

 vein 10 and the thoracic crest this agrees with Heliomyslis. The 

 main point of distinction is the stalking of 6 and 7 of the hind- 

 wings. The shorter approximation of vein 8 to cell is an addi- 

 tional point. I havje examined the structural characters of the 

 type of Sterictopsis inco^iseqiiens Warr.
