The outer margin of hindwing jirojects squarely between 3 and 4, and is 

 dentate at veins 1 and (i. 



Leptolopha gen. nov. 



Like Linsocldora AV'arr., but the dorsum is not simj)le and smooth, as in that 

 genus, but bears tufts of pale yellowish or greenish curved broad hair-scales on 

 segments 3-7. 



Type Lrptolophajlarilimcs AVarr. {Lissocldora). 



These tufts are of a much more flimsy character than the mrtallic red tufts 

 of Racheolopha, and appear liable to be soon rublxd (jff ; even when fresh, being 

 of the same colour as the rest of the dorsum, they are easily overlooked.

When I described this species I entirely overlooked the dorsal tufts. Since 

 then 1 have seen a considerable nnmber, diifering some of them both in markings 

 and size, but agreeing in the possession of the dorsal tufts, which must all be 

 transferred to l.cjifolpjiha. On comparison with these others J find that inj/dfiliiiufi 

 the yellowish margin of both wings shows a tendency to run inwards along the 

 veins ; in most cases this is very slight and incons])icuous ; but in one example 

 tiie yellow intrudes to such an extent that the green ground-colour forms a 

 continuous festoon of lunulate jirojections between the veins ; besides which, in 

 this form, ab. decorata, the ground-colour itself is darkened by rufous olive 

 scales sprinkled over both wings.

27. Leptolopha nigripunctata spec. nov. 



Closely allied to L. Jlati limes AVarr., but the hindwing has a black spot at 

 the lower end of discocellular ; in the forewiug there is no red-brown a])ical patch 

 running out into the fringe, but a concise oblique dash at the e.xtiemily of the
