Subfamily PROSOPOLOPHINAE. 

 Arcina fulgorigera Wlk. XXVI. p. 1T44. 

 This species and genus were overlooivcd by Mr. Meyrick iu bis paper on the 

 Selidosemidae, published in the Proceedings of the Linneun Society of S. S. ^y(des, 

 1891 (II. 6). The genus is allied to Chlenias — not Chesias, as Walker states — but 

 is scarcely identical. The antennae of the 6 are strongly pectinated : Walker says 

 "very slightly" pectinated : bnt his type is a ?, not, as he made it, a S. In the 

 forewings veins lo and II are free, 7, 8, 9 stalked, 6 being also shortly stalked with 

 them. The thorax is strongly crested, as iu Chlenias. The 6 now before me (labelled 

 N. S. "Wales) shows no silvery edging to the lines ; it should rather be described 

 as pale grey. 



Euomoea gen. nov. 



Forewings : elongate; the costa faintly sinuate, arched towards base, and slightly 

 incurved before apex ; apex rectangular ; hindmargin strongly curved and oblique 

 below, the anal angle obtuse. 



ilindwings : with fully rounded hindmargin. 



Antennae of c? bipectinated to apex ; palpi porrect, rather decumbent, reaching 

 a little before forehead ; tongue present. 



Neuration : forewings, cell three-fifths of wing ; the median vein upcurved 

 towards extremity of cell ; discocellnlar vertical : first median at three-fourths, 

 second shortly before end, third from end of cell ; radials normal ; first and second 

 subcostals stalked ; third, fourth, and fifth stalked ; second anastomosing with and 

 becoming coincident with stalk of third and fourtli. Hindwings with costal 

 approximated to subcostal for half the cell ; subcostals from top end of cell. 



Type : Euomoea unilineata sp. nov. 



Eelated to Frosojwlopha Led. 



29G. Euomoea imilineata sp. nov. 



Foreicings : yellowish uchreous, witli numerous short brown striae and atoms ; 

 some patches of dark brown scales from base along the sul)median fold : a minute 

 brown dot in cell, and a black cell-spot at the end : a brown straight obliiiue line 

 from apex to beyond middle of inner margin, not marked below the submedian vein; 

 fringe rather darker than the ground-colour. 



Hinrhcings : except hindmargin, paler, with a dark cell-spot. 



Underside deeper yellow, witli only the cell-spots marked ; the dark oblique 

 lino showing tlirongh. Paljii and forelegs brown ; face, head, tliorax, and abdomen 

 coucolorons with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One S from Zomba, Fiiper Shire River, 3000 feet, December 1805 (Dr. P. 

 Rendall). 



Microligia gen. nov. 



Forewings: very long and narrow; the costa straight, slightly inbent beyond 

 middle ; apex produced, blunt ; hindmargin well curved. 



Hindwings : ample, the hindmargin slightly indented opposite cell and pro- 

 tuberant in middle.
