Lepidotarsa, Meyr. 



To this genus is also to be referred L. iriodes, Meyr., described 

 doubtfully as a Piloprei^es. The following is a tabulation of the 

 five species : 



1. Hindwings tinged with ochreous or yellowish 2. 



Hindwings not tinged with ochreous or yellowish 3. 



2. Forewings with groundcolour pearly white iriodes. 



Forewings with groundcolour pale rosy-ochreous leucodetis. 



3. Forewings more or less rosy-tinged 2)roteis. 



Forewings not rosy -tinged 4, 



4. Hindwings grey chrysopoca. 



Hindwings grey-whitish aljihitella. 



In the two following Western species the dilation of the anterior 

 tibiae and tarsi, though distinctly present, is not at all conspicuous.
