One ? fmm Warri, Xiji-pr Coast. Protectorate, July 1807 (Dr. Rotli). 



Having seen oul}- cue, and that a by no means jierfect, example of this species, 

 J liave referred it provisionally to the American genns Ih/dtita, to some of the species 

 of wliich it bears a certain resemblanee ; bnt it cannot remain there. Tlie liindwings 

 have a rather strongly marked elbow in the hindraargin at the end of vein (i ; the 

 palpi are long, horizontally porrcct, of uniform width throughout, and blunt at apex ; 

 the short antennae (?) have the sliaft broad, loosely lamellate, rough above, and 

 witji two rows of short claw-shaped pubescent pectinations. 



no. lodis viridaurea sp. nov. 



ForeicirK/s : pale translucent blne-grceu, sjieckled wilh ])ale olive; the costa 

 finely ochreous ; lines thick, dull pale olive, very faint; first line curved, at one- 

 fourth ; second at two-tliirds, diffuse, externally dentate, and projecting on veins 

 3 and 4, then incurved to two-thirds of inner margin ; marginal area dusted with 

 similarly coloured atoms; the discocellular also olive; fringe concolorous, with 

 faint olive dots at the base. 



Ilindwinijs : without first line. 



Underside glossy blue-green ; the costa pale ochreous. Face and palpi i)ale 

 brown ; thorax and abdomen ochreons. 



Expanse of wings : 23 mm. 



One ? from Ron Island, July 1807 (W. Doherty). 



A very delicate species. 



Leucodesmia gen. nov. 



Foreii:inf;s : broad ; the costa sliglitly curved : the hindmargin obliijuoly curved. 



Ilituhrings : with hindmargin and ajjcx rounded, the anal angle prominent. 



Antennae of c? pectinated, the apical third simple ; of ? filiform ; paljii 

 porrect upwards ; tongue present, frenulum absent ; the hindwing rather prominently 

 shouldered at base. Hindtibiae short, thick, with two pairs of closely approximate 

 sjjurs. 



Netirntioii : forewings, cell not half the length of wing, very broad ; dis- 

 cocellnlar twice concave ; first median at two-thirds, second and third from end 

 of cell ; lower radial from between the concavities of discocellular, upper from 

 top end of cell; veins 7, 8, 0, 10 stalked; 11 free. Hind wings with discocellular 

 oblique and straight, the radial from above its centre ; veins 6, 7, and 3, 4 stalked. 



Type : Leucodesmia di.yjansa Wlk. {Comibaemt). Chloraryip-a Wlk., conclnjUaa 

 Meyr., and minutata Drnce also belong here. I have hitherto referred them to 

 Comostolodes, from which, however, they differ in the absence of a frenulum, and in 

 vein 6 of forewings not beinsr stalked with 7. 



GO. Leucoglyphica (?) fasciata sp. nov. 



Foreirings : pearly grey, dusted with olive-green atoms ; the markings olive- 

 green ; these consist of a basal patch, a central fascia with dentate edges, broadest 

 ou costa, where it is paler at centre and contains the dark green cell-spot, a
