Mimophyle gen. nov. 



Forewinqs : elongate; costca nearly straight ; apex bl ant ; liindmargin obliquely 

 curved. 



Hindu-iriqs : with hiudmargin rounded. 



Antennae in S simple, lamellate ; palpi very short ; tongne and frennlnm 

 present ; legs stout ; hind-tibiae with fdur spurs. 



Neuration: forewings, cell half of wing; discocellular vertically curved, more 

 oblique below ; first median nervnle at just beyond middle, second close before 

 third ; lower radial from distinctly above middle of discocellular, upper from upper 

 angle of cell ; 7, 8, 9, K) stalked from just before end of cell; 11 just beyond 

 middle, curved upwards and a]iproximatcd to but not touching 12, 10 anastomosing 

 with 11 and again with 8, 9. Vein 1 much swollen at base below the fovea. 



Ilindwings: costal shortly approximated to subcostal near base : 7 and 3 jnst 

 before angles of cell ; no radial. Scaling coarse and dense. 



Type : Mimophjle noctuata sp. nov. 



Both in scaling and appearance the type species resembles a small Noctua. 



108. Mimophyle noctuata sp. nov. 



Forewings : light grey, powdered and strignlated with dark grey and fuscous ; 

 the lines black and fine ; first from nearly one-third of costa is sharply angled out- 

 wards in cell before the rather large dark cell-spot, then runs obliquely inwards to 

 near base of inner margin, touching the fovea on the outside ; outer line from quite 

 three-fourths of costa, runs in a vertical direction to vein 3, but forming a very 

 conspicuous acute angle outwards between veins G and 7, and a less prominent one 

 between 3 and 4, turns in along vein 3 to below cell-spot, thence again vertical to 

 inner margin, forming a slight angle on vein 1 ; the first line is preceded by a 

 rather interrupted pale ochreous band, and the second iline is followed above inner 

 margin by a pale ochreous grey speckled space ; a row of black marginal spots ; 

 fringe dark grey. 



Ilindwinqs : dark grey, with irregular blackish postmedian line, most distinct 

 on inner margin, where there are traces of a submarginal line, preceded by a 

 rufous tinge. 



Underside dark grizzled grey, with the space between the lines darker, paler- 

 edged. Head, thorax, and abdomen dark grey. 



Expanse of wings : 2n"mm.

100. Narragodes psychidia sp. nov. 



Forewings: dull grey-brown, greyer along the costa, with many fine fuscous 

 striae; costa marked with blackish, and with the costal arms of the transverse lines 

 black ; first at one-fourth nearly vertical ; median at one-half, third line at 

 three-fourths, oblique outwards "to vein 0, there angled and oblique inwards ; 

 submarginal line indistinct, but starting from a fourth costal black spot ; fringe 

 grey-brown ; cell-spot black. 



Hinf/u'i/igs : grey-brown, without markings of any kind. 



Underside dull grey-brown. Head and thorax like wings ; abdomen missing. 



Expanse of wings : 17 mm.
