abtlomeu, -thorax, forehead, auil pectus all hairy ; the underside of wings also with 

 long hairs as well as scales. 



Seuration : forewings, cell ueaily two-thirds of wing : discocellular twice 

 angulated, the upper and lower thirds vertical, the middle third oblique ; first 

 median ncrvnle at four-fifths, second close before end of cell ; lower radial from the 

 lower angulation of discocellular, upper from upper angle of cell; T, ^, '.>, Id stalked: 

 11 free. Hindwings with costal approximated to subcostal for more than half the 

 cell ; the two subcostal uervulcs from upper angle of cell ; medians as in torewings ; 

 radial distinct, from lower ar.gle of the discocellular. Scaling thin and la.x. 



Type : UUolepis pilosa sj). nov. 



^0. Uliolepis pilosa ^^. nov. 



Forewiiif/s : ochrcons grey, dusted with blackish : the lines blackish, double, 

 e.xcurvcd above middle, incurved below it ; the first close to base ; the second, 

 antemedian, at one-third ; the postmcdian at two-thirds, indistinctly crenulated ; a 

 similarly curved median shade, touching a large difliisc^ grey cell-spot ; fringe 

 ochreous grey, chwjuered with blackish, and with black scales along base. 



Uind/ci/iffs : paler, without markings, except au indistinct curved submarginal 

 shade ; fringe concolorous. 



Underside much paler, with no markings. Head, thorax, and abdomen con- 

 colorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



One ? from Sefir-Kuh, Afghanistan. 



The stout abdomen and thin scaling of this insect remind one of Biston 

 hirtavia, but the presence of the radial in the hindwings necessitates its inclusion 

 among the Oenockrominae. 



Subfamily ORTHOSTIXINAE. 

 Aspilonaxa gen. nov. 



Forewingg : with costa very faintly curved, depressed just before apex ; apex 

 slightly jiroduced : hindmargin obli(]ne, very faintly curved. 



llindwhigs : with hindmargin well rounded. 



Antennae of ¥ slender, filiform, minutely lamellate and serrulate, unite half as 

 long us wing ; palpi slender, njjturned in front of face ; tongue and frenulum jn-esent : 

 legs long and slender ; liindtibiae witli a pair of mmute terminal s]mrs. 



Neuralion : cell half as long as wing ; discocellular obli(iue ; first median just 

 beyond one-half ; second at seven-eighths ; lower radial from centre of discocellular, 

 njjper from upper angle ; 7, 8 stalked ; 9, 10 coincident, anastomosing with 11 and 

 12, '.) anastomosing with 8. 



IIi//i/tr/pi/ii : witJi costal sinuous and ajiproximated to subcostal ; first subcostal 

 uervule before end of cell; radial tVom centre of discocellular; medians as in 

 forewings. 



Tyjje : Anpilonaxa lineula sp. nov. 



Diifers from Saxa in the long slender antennae and legs ; in the cell being 

 only half as long as wings, instead of two-tiiirds ; in the costal vein of forewings 

 leaving 11 some distance beyond the junction of 9 and 10, whereas in ^axa and 

 PsiloiMJM it rises before the junction and and 10 really anastomose with 11 only.
