 sixths; the first oblique outwards, the second inwards, the third quite small; from 

 the end of the first a tawny Hue runs obliquel}' inwards to inner margin at one-third, 

 marked by a browu dot on median and submedian veins ; from the end of the 

 second a tawny line runs in a large curve outwards to the first median nervule, then 

 straight to inner margin, also marked b\- brown dots on the veins ; from the third a 

 \ery indistinct submarginal shade can be traced; fringe concolorous, with a very fine 

 dark basal line. 



I/indivings : with no markings except an outer dark line, which is in-egularly

Eminesomia gen. nov. 



^ . Fareivings : very broad; costa slightly curved at base, then straight till 

 shortly before apex ; apex produced, cur\ed, falcate ; hindmargiu strongly incurved 

 below apex, then running out so as to form a broad blunt elbow in the middle at end 

 of third median, thence very obliquely curved in to anal angle, which is strongly 

 marked and almost rectangular. 



Hindwings: small; apex rounded; hindmargin forming a short projection at 

 end of first subcostal, thence slightly curved to anal angle, which is s(]uare. 



Antennae short, thick, curled at apex, lamellate ; tongue present ; palpi 

 exceedingly short, not reaching front of face. 



Neuration : forewings, cell not quite half the length of wing ; discocellular 

 straight ; first median a little beyond one-half, second close before angle, third from 

 angle of cell ; lower radial from middle of discocellular, upper from near the base of 

 last subcostal; third, fourth, and fifth subcostals stalked; first and second stalked; 

 second anastomosing with third and fourth for some distance. Hindwings, costal 

 connected with subcostal in middle of cell by a bar ; two subcostals stalked ; last two

Type : Eriimesomia bilineata sp. nov.

 olive-yellowish, edged, the first externally, the second internally, with dark grey ; first 

 band from costa just before middle is sharply angled on subcostal, then curved 

 inwards to inner margin at one-third; above the angulation at the costa the olive- 

 yellow becomes brick-red and the dark grey edging black ; second line from costa at 

 about three-fourths to inner margin shortly before anal angle, quite straight; the 

 small costal portion is coloured brick-red, as in the first band; a cur\eil black spot on 

 hindmargin in the subapical excision opposite the cell ; fringe dark red, with pale drab 

 outer half and a faint dark grey line in the middle.
