hindwings have the hiudmargin strongly excised beyond cell and snbcrennlate to 

 anal angle ; veins 6, 7, and 3, 4 stalked ; the cell short. 



The species bears a striking resemblance to Craspedia ra<sa Warr. described 

 further on. 



Genus: ASELLODES Gnen. 



The species of this genns must be referred to the snbfamily Sterrhinae. In 

 both sexes vein 8 of the hindwings tonches 7 near base and tlicn diverges to the 

 costal margin. Cell about half as long as wing ; discocellular with a short vertical 

 upper area, and obliquely curved lower portion ; the lower radial from the angle 

 at their junction and therefore much nearer G than .4. First median nervulc at 

 two-thirds, second at eight-ninths ; upper radial from upper angle of cell ; 7, 8, 

 stalked from three-fourths ; 10 and 11 stalked from one-half, 10 anastomosing with 

 8, 9. In the hindwings of ? veins 6, 7 are stalked, the rest as iu forewings. In 

 the 6 the subcostal vein is nearly in the middle of the wing ; the two subcostal 

 nervules stalked and very divergent; the radial runs obliijuely into the excision 

 before anal angle, and the three median nervules are obscured, the submedian fold 

 forming a strong furrow on the upper side, projecting and fringed with hairs below. 

 The hindtibiae and tarsi in the ^J are quite aborted and hidden by dense hairs. 

 (Guenee must have mistaken the middle tibiae for the hind ones). 



Calyptocome gen. nov. 



Forewings : with costa nearly straight ; apex prominent, bluntly rounded ; 

 hindmargin oblique, curved towards anal angle. 



Ilitidwintjs : with hiudmargin well rounded, inner margin long ; anal angle 

 squared. 



Antennae of <S with the joints triangular, subserrate beneath, with long 

 ciliations. Pal])i quite short, not reaching front of face ; hindtibiae of 6 aborted, 

 without spurs, and with a pencil of hairs ; of ? with three spurs. 



Xeiifation : forewings, cell one-half of wing ; discocellular vertical, very faint ; 

 first median uervule at three-fourths, second at seven-eighths ; radials normal ; 

 7, 8, 9 stalked from a little before end ; 10 shortly before them, 11 at one-half; 10 

 anastomosing with 11 and again with 7, 8, 9. Hindwings with 3, 4, and (i, 7 

 short-stalked. 



Type : C. pamiaria Gueu. (Acidulia). 



The underside of the hindwings iu the 6 is roughened and sometimes beset 

 with long hair-like scales. 



79. Calyptocome roseoliva sp. nov. 



Forewings : dull rosy, with sinuous olive-ochreous transverse bands ; the costa 

 rosy, with a subcostal olive-ochreous stripe ; the bands are obscurely marked and 

 difficult of exact observation ; antemedian, median, postmedian, and submargiual, 

 with traces of yet anotlier below apex ; fringe rosy and ochreous. 



Hindwings : without iirst line ; both wings with dark linear cell-spot. 



Underside of forewings glossy rosy ; of hindwings yellowish. Vertex, antennae, 

 face, and palpi brown ; thorax and patagia olive-ochreous ; abdomen rosy. 



Expanse of wings : 18 mm.
