concolorous, beyond a fine slightly crennlate marginal line with dots between 

 the veins. 



Himhcings : with antemedian and postmedian slightly curved lines, the latter 

 followed by a pale brownish shade ; an oval cell-spot ; submarginal line and fringe 

 as in forewiugs. 



Underside of forewings brownish grey ; of hindwmgs whitish, with grey 

 suffusion. Face and palpi dark brown : vertex, thorax, and abdomen like wings. 



Exjianse of wings : 32 mm. 



One cJ from Parkside, South Australia. 



Nesalcis gen. nov. 



In Nov. ZooL. Vol. III. j). 131,1 described the c? of Aids (?)/uscibn/n>iea from 

 Jamaica, and gave the nenration of the forewings. It would be more correct to say 

 that veins 9, 10, 11 are stalked, 11 anastomosing with the costal and 9 witli 8. 

 I now find that the ? has antennae almost as strongly pectinated as the d , which, 

 together with the nenration, mus* separate the species from Aids, and I propose the 

 above generic name for it. 



226. Poecilalcis subtincta sp. nov. 



Forewinqs: pinkish grey, thickly dusted with fuscous atoms, in parts with a 

 rufous suffusion ; fovea in 6 exaggerated, reaching from near inner margin to near 

 median, which is slightly bent upwards and runs at a distance of only one-third from 

 the costa ; first line at one-third, curved, blackish, darker on the veins, touching 

 fovea on inner margin ; outer line at two-thirds, slightly curved outwards to vein 6, 

 then vertical to vein 5, thence concave inwards to vein 2, and again from vein 2 to 

 inner margin beyond middle ; submarginal line blackish, indented from vein 5 to 4, 

 edged with whitish opposite the cell and more strongly above anal angle ; the outer 

 line is followed h\ a rufous shade, and a rufous patch is on the hindmargin in the 

 middle ; cell-spot linear, blackish, connected with a black costal spot above it ; fringe 

 fuscous, beyond a subcrenulate marginal black line. 



Ilimlwinys : pinkish grey, with sparser irroration ; cell-spot larger ; an inter- 

 rupted curved ijostmediau line, black on inner margin ; submarginal line whitish, 

 uniformly dentate and edged inwardly by a lilackish shade, becoming obsolete on 

 costal half. 



Underside of forewings dull ochreous, suffused with fuscous and much irrorated ; 

 the marginal area towards apex brownish ; hind wings yellowish ochreous, with 

 sparse dusting. Face, palpi, and collar dark fuscous ; thorax piukish grey ; 

 abdomen cinereous, the basal segments with pairs of black spots. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



Several cJcJ from North Luzon, oOdO— 6000 feet (Whitehead). 



Pseudalcis gen. nov. 



Agrees with Medasina Moore in that vein 11 of forewings rises out" of 12, but 

 in scaling and markings almost exactly like Dryocoetis Hiib. ; the $ antennae are 

 plumose ; in the forewings vein 10 is sometimes shortly stalked with 7, 8, 9 ; 

 sometimes free from the cell.
