Mimornrna gen. nov. 



Like Oenoptila Warr., but the forewing of tbe 6 has a large triangular scale- 

 covered fovea at base, tbe median vein being upcurved above it : in the type-species 

 tbe inner margin of forewing is convex ; tbe outer margin of hindwing bluntly 

 elbowed at middle, tbe margin above tbe elbow convex, below it straight; tbe 

 anal angle squared ; the costa at base is shouldered, covering the fovea. 



Antennae filiform, scarcely pubescent : palpi porrect, slender, like tbose of 

 Mimoprora Warr., but shorter ; hindtibiae much swollen, containing a pencil of 

 hairs, with two short terminal spurs and one, rather longer, middle one ; a peculiarity, 

 as far as 1 know, unique amoiiLr the Selidoseminae. 



Nenration : forewing, cell longer than half of wing; discocellular vertical, 

 faintly concave ; median and subcostal veins both slightly indexed at extremity; 

 first median nervnle at one-half, second at seven-eighths; lower radial from a 

 little above middle of discocellular, upper from upper end of cell ; T, 8, 9 stalked 

 from the bend in subcostal; In and 11 apparently out of 12; at all events, in 

 tbe unique specimen I cannot detect a trace of either rising from cell and 

 anastomosing with 12: hindwing, costal and subcostal approximating so closely 

 at middle of cell as to appear to anastomose ; 3 and 7 from just before end 

 of cell. 



Type : Mimomma oekriplaga spec. nov. 



The type-species superficially resembles Petelia j>ur[>nr<-u Warr. 



256. Mimomma ochriplaga spec. nov. 



Forewing : ochreous, much suffused with brown, the basal and subcostal 

 regions palest ; costa distinctly brown ; first line outcurved above and below 

 median vein, from one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin; outer line 

 from three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, angled outwards on 

 vein 4, inwards on vein 2, thence vertical, marked by black pale-tipped spots on 

 veins ; lower half of the central space brown, containing an obscure central shade, 

 which is plainer in tbe paler costal half, beyond the distinct round black cell-spot ; 

 marginal area brown, except at apex, anil just beyond outer line on inner margin ; 

 small black marginal spots at the ends of the veins; fringe brown. 



Hindwing: brown, with the apical fourth ochreous, except at the actual 

 apex, which is brown ; cell-spot round and black ; outer line as in forewing. 



Underside ochreous ; the cell-spots large and black ; outer line marked in 

 forewing only; outer margin brown, complete in forewiug, restricted to apex in 

 hindwing ; fringe brown. 



Head, outside of palpi, and antennae brown ; thorax ochreous ; abdomen 

 ochreous, with the dorsum brown. 



Expanse of wings : 23 mm. 



1 c? from Tingnri, Carabaya, Pern, 3400 feet, August 1904, dry Beason 

 (Ockenden). 



257. Nuniia timaudrata spec. nov. 



Forewing: dull grey-green, speckled with dull purple, especially the costal 

 edge; an ouler straight darker green oblique line from three-fourths of costa to 

 three-fifths of inner margin; a brown spot near ba.se of cell; cell-spot white; 

 fringe deeper green. 



Hindwing : with white cell-spot and central dark line.
