one-third of inner margin towards middle of costa, before which it becomes 

 obsolete ; median shade from just beyond middle of inner margin towards three- 

 fourths of costa, slightly bent below median vein ; outer line finer and more 

 distinct, irregularly waved and indented beyond cell, from three-fourths of inner 

 margin to five-sixths of costa ; subraarginal very faint, indicated by darker clouds ; 

 a marginal row of black dots, which are sometimes expanded into dashes ; fringe 

 concolorous ; cell-spot minute. 



Ilimhvings : without first line ; the submarginal distinctly ochreous ; cell-spot 

 larger. 



Underside speckled with greyish fuscous ; outer line and cell-spots of both 

 wings and median shade of forewings strongly marked ; costaofforewings yellowish; 

 disc suffused with grey ; marginal line continuous. Face and palpi dark brown ;

The hindwings are faintly elbowed at middle of hindmargin. 



6. Craspedia parallelaria sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale grey, with a faint ochreous tinge and very finely and thickly 

 dusted with dark specks ; three oblit^ue diffuse slightly darker lines ; one postmedian, 

 from two-thirds of costa to middle of inner margin, and two submarginal ; the paler 

 marginal area with a faint shade along it ; marginal line fine, black ; fringe 

 concolorous ; cell-spot faint. 



Hindwinffs : with the three lines carved ; the cell-spot on the median line. 



Underside greyer ; the lines a little plainer, the second appearing subdenticulate.

Genus Emmiltis Hiib., Verz. p. 309. 



Hiibner placed six species under Emmiltis. 



2973. rubricnria = ruhricata Schift'., = rubiginata Hufn. 



2974. ochrearia — ochrenta Schiff. 

 2976. circuitaria Hiib. Geo. 499. 



2976. mttaria Hiib. Geo. 429. 



2977. panularia = pi/gmaearia Hiib. Geo. 335, 336. 



2978. nexaria = nexata Hiib. Geo. 401, 421. 

 His brief description runs : — 



" Die Fliigel gerothet, streifweise schattig angelegt." 



The proper type of the genus is the first mentioned species, rubiginata Hufh., 

 which at the same time best agrees with the description. Mr. Meyrick, Tr. E. S. 

 1892, p. 86, appears to have taken pijgmaearia as type, and refers rubiginata to 

 Leptomeris Htib., which genus is only put forward on page 310. Does not the law 

 of priority require that for rubiginata and all the species congeneric with it the 

 name Emmiltis should be used rather than Leptomeris or Craspedia ?
