Neogyne gen. uov. 



S. Forewings : very uairow iiud eIouj;ate, tliree times as lonjj as wide; costa 

 rather sinuous, being inflexcd beyond middle, depressed only at extreme apex ; 

 hindmargin vertical to vein 4, then very oblique and slightly inbent at submedian 

 fold. 



Ilindwings : with hindmargin rounded and minutely iTcunhite to vein ;!, uhieii 

 is rather prominent, thence sinuous and without crenuhitiou to anal angle. 



In the ? both wings are fuller, with the hindmargin uncrenulated. 



Abdomen of S long and slender ; of the ? short and stout. Antennae of i 

 with fine ciliations at right angles to the shaft, which is broad and flattened ; of 

 ¥ simple, the joints minutely angulated. Paljii porrect, very short ; tongue and 

 frenulum well developed; hindtibiae of <J thickened, with four spurs: the tarsi 

 short ; forewings of c? with fovea strongly developed. 



Neuratioti : forewings, cell two-thirds as long as wing, narrowed towards its 

 end ; discocellular vertical ; first median at nine-tenths, second close before third ; 

 radials normal ; 7, 8, 9, stalked ; 10 and 11 coincident. Hindwiugs with costal 

 ajjproximated to subcostal for half cell ; subcostals from upper end of cell ; medians 

 as in forewings. 



Type : 2\cogyne elongata sp. nov. 



The insect seems to stand quite by itself; 1 cannot identify it with any of 

 Mr. Meyrick's species. 



88. Neogyue elongata sj). nov. 



S. Fore icings : pale grey or whitish grey, coarsely speckled with fuscous; all the 

 lines indistinct, but starting from dark costal spots ; first at one-fourth, wavy, 

 apparently abbreviated in midwing ; second (median shade) in middle, brownish 

 fuscous, irregularly vertical : outer line a little before three-fourths, fine and dark, 

 oblique and slightly denticulate, vertical below vein 2, closely followed by a diffuse 

 fuscous or brown shade ; submarginal line oblique, j)ale, diffuse, marked below apex 

 by black dashes on each side ; cell-sjjot blackish, linear, just before outer line ; 

 fringe grey, darker beyond the veins, and sometimes with dark basal line above anal 

 angle. 



lliruhcings : smoky grey, with indistinct traces of a dentate straight postmedian 

 line and of a submarginal ; both dark marked on inner margin ; fringe grey, much 

 darker below middle. 



In a second S the ground-colour is very much whiter, the suffusion in the fore- 

 wings mixed with tawny scales, the shade beyond the outer line forming beyond the 

 cell a squarish dark blotch. Both ? ? arc more lilac-grey, with the lines almost 

 absent, except the dotted outer line and the submarginal below apex, which is dark 

 grey. 



Underside of forewings smoky grey, of hindwings paler with fuscous speckling; 

 the submarginal line of hindwings being marked with brnwn blotches, and sometimes 

 the snbmedian fold and cell-spot brown. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like forewings; the palpi dark lirown. 



Expanse of wings : S 20 mm., ? 33 mm.
