NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 11115. 339 



Similar to cidariata Giieti. {Spec. Gen. Lep. x. 357), but according to the 

 description and figure the median band is so different in shape that it is 

 impossible to unite it therewith, especially as the hind wing also appears to differ. 



Subfamily GEOMETRINAE 

 Anoectomychus gen. no v. 



Face with appressed scales. Palpus moderate, second joint with projecting 

 scales above and beneath, third joint moderate, rather slender, conico-cyliudrical. 

 Tongue developed. Antenna in S bipectinate, in ? nearly simple, minntely 

 ciliated. Pectus slightly hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in S slightly 

 thickened, in both sexes with all spurs. 



Forewiiig with costa arched at base and beyond middle, straighter between, 

 apex moderately sharp, termen smooth, rather oblique, very little curved, tornus 

 well expressed ; cell about two-fifths ; SC'~^ coincident, anastomosing or connected 

 with C, sometimes anastomosing at a point with SC'~* ; M' from close to end of 



cell. Hindwing with apex nearly rectangular, termen curved, especially towards 



middle, faintly waved, tornus prominent ; cell open (DO^-' wanting), C in ? 

 approximated to SC near base, in c? later (at the forward curve of SC), SC' and 

 R' in S separating near base, the former making a strong forward curve, the latter 

 straight, in ? separating at about one-third, normally formed, R^ wanting, M in cj 

 very near SC, M^ in ? branching off not far before the separation of R^ from M', 

 in (J quite near base. 



Type of the genus: Anoectomi/chus pudem (Swinh.) = Luxiaria pudens Swinh., 

 Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1904, p. 504. 



No doubt related to Luxiaria Walk, and Cassyma Gaen. Similar to Pigiopsis 

 Warr. {Nov. Zool. vi. 300), but distinguished by the shorter, open cells of the 

 hindwing, the very curious S venation, and other characters. 



58. Pigiopsis scotoides sp. nov. 



cJ, 23 mm. Face and palpus very deep ferruginous, the latter with first joint 

 pale. Vertex and antenna purple-grey. Thorax pnrple-grey above, pale beneath. 

 Forecoxa and inner side of all legs pale violet-grey ; legs otherwise more or less 

 strongly infuscated. Abdomen purple-grey, with slight tinge of brown. 



Forewing with termen less obliqne than in convergens Warr. (Xob. Zool. vi. 

 301); a fovea present ; SC'~^ coincident, free or anastomosing at a point with C; 

 purple-grey (light, almost entirely obscured with dark cloudings) ; costal margin 

 infuscated to beyond middle, distal part whitish with three long, narrow blackish 

 spots, that nearest apex the shortest ; a bright ferruginous spot close behind apex ; 

 an ill-defined whitish streak from this spot basewards (between SC' and R'), 

 fading out before reaching middle of wing ; lines dark brown, with a slight olive 

 tinge, placed about as in convergens Warr., but rather thicker, the median not quite 



so extremely oblique ; fringe divided by a brown line, tips paler. Hindwing 



browner than forewing, proximal part paler, especially between median and post- 

 median lines ' a dark brown spot at base continuing the antemedian line of forewing ; 

 all the other lines continued, parallel with termen or rather straighter. 



Forewing beneath with costal and hindmargin very pale violaceous grey, the 

 rest almost entirely dark-clouded, with the lines only feebly indicated. Hindwing
