Paradmeta gen. nov. 



Forewing : costa curved ; apex rectangular ; outer margin crenulate, vertical 

 to a slight tooth at vein 4, thence oblique. 



Hindwing : with crenulate outer margin, toothed at 6 and 4, with a sinus 

 between. 



Antennae of c? thickened and flattened, the segments triangular, ending 

 in tuberculate fascicles of cilia ; palpi porrect, thickly haired, terminal segment 

 obscure ; hindtibia aborted ; tongne and frenulum present. 



Neuratiou : forewing, cell half as long as wing ; discocellular vertical above, 

 oblique below ; first median nervule at five-eighths, second well before end of cell ; 

 radials normal; 7, 8, 9 stalked; 10, 11 free, 10 anastomosing with 11 and 8, 9, 

 forming a double areole : hindwing with veins 0, 7 from end of cell, vein 3 from 

 before lower end. 



Type : Paradmeta perstrigata spec. nov. 



90. Paradmeta perstrigata spec. nov. 



Forewing: pale lilac-grey; first line denoted by seven black dots, the three 

 regular ones on the veins, one on each fold, one subcostal, and one on inner margin ; 

 cell-spot small, shining white ; median line lnnulate-dentate, from beyond middle 

 of costa incurved to middle of inner margin ; outer line at five-sixths, parallel to outer 

 margin, marked by black dots on veins, below 2 forming a fine line; the two sub- 

 marginal shades beyond this line form two oblique black-brown streaks not reacuing 

 vein 3, and a roundish brown blotch, followed by a diffuse shade, beyond cell ; a row 

 of black-brown marginal crescents between veins ; fringe coucolorous, with a black- 

 brown middle line, also forming crescents. 



Hindwing : coarsely speckled with black-brown ; cell-spot white, with a brown 

 edge ; a thick black-brown streak from costa to inner margin just beyond it ; outer 

 line luuulate-dentate, most distinct towards each margin, and marked by black 

 dots on veins ; the snbmarginal shades marked by black-brown lunular blotches, 

 interrupted between veins 2 and 4 ; marginal black marks between veins, and 

 black spots beyond them in the fringe. 



Underside of forewing dark grey with a reddish tinge, of hindwing whitish 

 with grey margin ; cell-spots black ; middle, outer, and snbmarginal lines shown. 



Face and palpi black-brown ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; dorsal 

 segments each with a pair of thick brown marks. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



1 S from Sapucay, Paraguay, October 1904 (Foster). 



Parazeuxis gen. nov. 



Differs from Anisodes Guen. in the structure of palpi and hiudlegs ; the palpi 

 are porrect, the second segment thick and hairy, the terminal quite short; the hind- 

 legs are aborted ; the femur, tibia, and tarsus being all short and of about equal 

 length, fringed with pale hairs, which on the tarsus form a large spreading brush ; 

 from the femoro-tibial joint rises a long slender pencil of hairs. In the forewing 

 veius 7, 8, 9, 10 are stalked from shortly before end of cell and 11 rises some 

 distance before, 10 anastomoses with 11 and again with 8, 9, forming a double 

 areole. 



Type : Parazeuxis punctifera Dogn. {Anisodes).
