 slender, porrect, and decumbent, are thick, short, and upcurved in front of fixce, 

 smoothly scaled below, rongh-haired above, the third joint as large as the second, 

 the hairs expanding above. Antennae of cj bipectinate, the inner row of pectinations 

 about half as long as the outer.

'•"(. Xenoprora parallela sp. nov. 



Forewings : dull greyish ochreons, dusted with darker ; the linos likewise 

 slightly darker, but obscure, all parallel to hindmargin — inner, median, onter, and 

 two submarginal ; the latter, like the median, are more shades than lines ; the innor 

 ami outer are both marked by dark dots on veins ; cell-spot hardly denoted ; hind-

 vein-ends ; fringe concolorous.
