outer one thickened : npper half of marg-inal area with ferrugiaous striae massed 

 together, and also below the lower end of cell. Palpi aad lower half of face 

 j-ellowish : upper half of face and vertex shining white ; collar ferruginous ; thorax 

 and abdomen yellow. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



A pair from Sikkim, April and May 1880 (Pilcher %.). 



Distinguished by the distinct lines, and the sinuous Kiicrnnidatrd margins of the 

 wings. 



Eurythecodes gen. nov. 



Foreicinys : broad, the costa arched throughout ; apex slightly produced : hind- 

 margin bluntly elbowed at vein 4, oblique below, slightly concave above ; anal angle 



blunt. 



Hindmnqs : with a small tooth at vein 4, the margin somewhat convex on 

 either side ; both angles well marked. 



Palpi porrect, rough beneath, hardly reaching beyond face ; antennae of ? 

 shortly and evenly pectinated. 



Neurat>07i : forewings, cell very broad, about half as long as wing; discocellular 

 with lower arm oblique ; first median at two-thirds, second well before end, third 

 from end of cell ; radials normal ; veins 7, 8, 9 stalked ; 10 and 11 coincident, anasto- 

 mosing at a jioint with costal, and not separating till near costa. 



Type : Einyt/iecodes nigricola sp. nov. 



Akin to Spilopcra and its allies. 



276. Eurythecodes nigi'icola sp. uov. 



Forcicinqs : jJale ochreous, thickly dusted with rust-coloured atoms, the basal 

 and marginal areas darker: first line at one-third, rectangularly bent on the subcostal 

 vein and vertical to inner margin ; second line from two-thirds of inner margin, 

 curved towards apex, but retracted to costa, and joined at the angle by a short 

 oblique streak from apex ; this line is edged outwardly, and the first inwardly, by a 

 diffuse brown shade ; a minute dark cell-spot ; fringe concolorons. 



Hindtcings : with the dark line central, i)receded by the small cell-spot. 



One of the two examples is wholly suffused with fuscous grey, having the outer 

 line bent as well as curved, and the marginal area much darker, showing traces of a 

 paler waved submarginal shade between darker clouds towards inner margin. 



Underside paler, with the line of the hindwings doubled towards costa. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 30—32 mm. 



Two ? ? from Warri, River Niger, February 1896 (Dr. Roth). 



277. Eurythecodes straminea sji. nov. 

 Forewhigs : straw-colour, dotted with rufous aud fuscous scales ; costa spotted 

 with dark ; first line at one-third, obscure, pliuubeons, bent outwards, with ferru- 

 ginous marks on the veins on its oiitside edge ; outer line from two-thirds of inner 

 margin, straight and oblique towards apex, angled ou vein 7 and retracted to costa, 

 plumbeous, preceded by a row of red dots on veins ; some fuscous and rufous dots 

 forming a shade from apex to angle of this line; a vertical greyish streak from inner 

 margin before anal angle ; fringe grey; a minute black cell-dot.
