Tj'pe : Deinoptila pellicula Dogn. {Cidaria). 



Dolichopyge gen. nov. 



Forewings : elongate ; costa nearly straight ; apex rounded ; hindmargin very 

 obliquely cnrved. 



Hindwings : narrow ; apex produced ; hindmargin rounded ; inner margin 

 short. Palpi porrect, drooping, hairy beneath. Antennae of cJ thick, lamellate, 

 slightly pubescent, of ? filiform. Abdomen of S elongate, the anal tuft much 

 enlarged. Inner margin of hindwings in c? attenuated, but with no trace of a lobe. 



Neuration : forewings, cell longer than half of wing ; discocellular vertical ; 

 first median nervule at three-fourths, second close before end ; the median nervure 

 shortly upcnrved at extremity, so that the third median nervnle seems to rise from 

 the discocellular; areole simjile ; 10 and 11 being stalked, 10 anastomosing with

Type : D. bifasciata sp. nov. 



135. Dolichopyge bifasciata sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale grey, tinged in many instances with rnfous or brown ; basal 

 patch of the pale ground-colour, marked only by the beginning of two dark lines on 

 the costa ; centra] fascia with its inner edge black, curved from nearly one-third of 

 costa to one-fourth of inner margin, followed by a darker grey band with waved 

 outer edge ; outer edge of central fascia from two-thirds of costa to three-fonrths of 

 inner margin, black, crenulate, outcurved between veins 6 and 2, preceded by a 

 darker band which is often obsolete below the median ; a waved dark line shortly 

 beyond it ; submarginal pale, luuulate, the lannles filled in with dark grey at costa, 

 beyond cell, and on submedian fold; that between veins and T generally remaining 

 pale ; marginal line fine ; fringe grey. 



Hindwings : of ? grey, with traces of six or seven darker curved waved lines ; 

 of (? whitish, with the lines hardly visible. 



Underside shining grey, with all the lines dark grey. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen pale grey, the abdomen dark grey along dorsum and with a dark ring on 

 second segment ; anal tuft in S palo ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : S 26 mm.; 5 28 mm. 



Many examples from Castro, Parana (E. D. Jones). 



The central fascia is sometimes filled up with dark grey : at others the two 

 external dark bands are almost obsolete. 



136. Epirrhoe corrivulata sp. nov. 



Forewings : fuscous grey, the lines and shades dark fuscous, the central fascia 

 blackish fuscous ; its inner edge curved and waved, at nearly one-third, blackish, 

 its outer edge at two-thirds, oblique outwards to below vein 0, there bluntly angled 

 and obliquely waved inwards; the fascia paler in the middle and traversed by two or 

 three darker lines ; basal area traversed by four fuscous lines, all parallel to inner
