( 1-^1 ) 



spots obliquel}' beneath each otiier at apex ; a small blark cell-dot ; fringe con- 

 colorons, the basal half darker, beyond a fine dark marginal line. 



llindivings : with minute black cell-spot and central red-brown line ; the 

 marginal half paler, less reddish. 



Underside the same, but paler and duller. Face, palpi, and vertex red-brown, 

 as is the base of costa of forewiugs ; thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 36 — 39 mm. 



Two c?(? from North Luzon, .5000-0000 feet (Whitehead). 



The two species placed together by Hampson under Plat'/fei-ofa (Faun. Brif. 

 Ind. Motlis,^o\. III. p. l.j.j) differ from each other in the neuration, and the present 

 species differs from both : vein 11 of forewings anastomoses with 12 ; 7, 8, 9, 10 are 

 stalked together ; 10 anastomoses with 11 after its anastomosis with 12, and again 

 anastomoses with 8 and 9. A further poiut of difference consists in the presence of 

 a tuft of hair on the submedian nervure of the forewiugs of the S on the underside. 



Procypha gen. nov. 



Forewings : elongate, with costa straight till near before apex, then suddenly 

 deflexed ; apex square, bluntly subfalcate (there l)eiug a small tooth at the end of 

 vein 7, below which the hindmargin, which is shortly vertical above it, is faintly 

 incurved), bulged below middle, and again rather incurved before anal angle ; inner 

 margin sinuous, convex at base and anal angle, with a long concavity between ; the 

 anal angle loljed. 



Hindwi7igs : with costa sinuate ; strongly shouldered near base, then concave, 

 and convex again to end of the costal vein, from which to vein 7 it is strongly 

 concave, the apex at vein 7 being acutely prominent ; the hindmargin below it like 

 that of forewiugs. 



Palpi porrect, hairy, the third joint short ; antennae of ? moderately pectinated. 



Neuration : forewiugs, cell about half as long as wing ; discocellular vertical 

 above, oblique below ; first median at five-sixths, second only just before end of 

 cell, third from the end : radials normal ; last three snbcostals stalked ; first two 

 coincident and free. Hindwings with costal apjjroximated to subcostal for Imt a 

 short distance, then abruptly curved away ; the two snbcostals and last two medians 

 from the ends of cell ; discocellular strongly inangulated. Ovipositor of ? exserted. 



Type : Procyjiha vwculosata sp. nov. 



Allied to Proboloptera, Meyr. from Australia. 



288. Procypha maculosata sp. nov. 



Forewiugs : dull brick-red, with a few scattered black scales; costa grey at base; 

 first line blackish, but obscure and interrupted, from costa at one-third to inner 

 margin at one-fourth, angled in cell, thence oblique, with dark dots on veins ; 

 exterior line at two-thirds, starting from a black blotch, angled on vein 6, thence 

 oblique to inner margin beyond middle, with two confluent black blotches on it, 

 one on each side of vein 3 ; submarginal line denoted by two black blotches on 

 either side of vein 6 and a large blotch at anal angle. 



Him/wings : without lines ; with a few dark atoms, and a large black blotch 

 beyond cell ; fringe of both wings brighter red. 



Underside the same. Face, palpi, and abdomen above reddish ; thorax and 

 abdomen below paler. 



Expanse of wings : .52 mm. 



One ? from the Cape of Good Hope.
