Eulasia gen. nov. 



Forewings : with costa arched at base, tlieii straight to apex, vvliich is rectangular ; 

 hindmargin strongly gibbous ; anal angle hardly marked. 



Hindwinr/s : with hindmargin slightly bent at vein 4; both angles rounded. 



Antennae- of c? plumose to the tips ; thorax, face, and pectus hairy ; palpi 

 porrect, second joint hairy; frenulum present; tongue slight; anal sheaths largely 

 developed. 



Neiiration: forewings, cell three-fifths of wing ; discooellular vertical, the lower 

 part concave ; tirst median nervule just beyond middle ; second well before third ; 

 lower radial from above middle of discocellular, upper from upper angle of cell; 

 vein 9 missing (? coincident with 8), 7, 8, stalked ; 10, 11 stalked, 10 soon anastomosing 

 with 7, 8 : hindwings, with costal and subcostal anastomosing for one-third of cell • 

 veins 7 and 3 before angles of cell. 



Type: Eulasin vUlaria Feld. (Himera^. 



Allied to Aethiopudes by the neuration of hindwing and hairy clothing of body; 

 distinguished by the missing vein and the smooth hindmargins of wings. 



Mesocoela gen. nov. 



Forewinys: costa sinuous, very strongly shouldered at base, concave beyond 

 middle, convex and bent upwards before ajiex, which is depressed ; liindmargin nmch 

 as in Pki/llodonta Warr. from S. America, tlie upper half sinuous, forming at middle 

 a similar blunt tooth to that at apex, witli a semicircular excision inside it, thence 

 curved convexly to anal angle, which is rounded oft'. 



Hindwings : similar, but the apex rounded ; anal angle rectangular. 



Palpi porrect, long ; second joint rough-scaled beneath, the third bent- down- 

 ward and pointed; forehead somewhat tufted; antennae (?) simple ; abdomen short 

 and stout. 



Neuration : forewings, cell half as long as wing ; discocellular vertical, concave ; 

 first median nervule at two-thirds, second well before third ; radials normal ; 7, 8, 9 

 stalked; 10 approximated to 11 and touching 8, 9 at a point; 11 anastomosing 

 with 12 : hindwings, costal and subcostal apjiroxirnated for first half of cell ; 3 and 7 

 before angles of cell. 



Type : Mesocoela ohscura sp. nov. 



Most like the genus Avtophylla Warr., Nov. ZooL. I. p. 451, formed for a 

 species (two ? j) said to be from "either Australia or S. America," but which I 

 strongly suspect to be African. 



94. Mesocoela obscura sp. nov. 



Forewinr/s : dull mouse-colour, with darker speckling and striations ; lines 

 fuscous ; first somewhat cloudy, from middle of the basal shoulder curved to one-third 

 of inner margin ; median shade from before middle of costa, strongly outcurved 

 round the cell-s|iot, to middle of inner margin; outer line from three-fourths of 

 costa, starting from an oblique black streak outwardly edged with whitish scales, 

 acutely angled on vein 7 below apex, thence straight to beyond two-thirds of inner 

 margin ; traces of an indistinct submarginal shade ; fringe concolorous ; cell-spot 

 black. 



Hindtmiiijs : with large, round, cloudy black cell-spot, curved [wsl median line, 

 and dark submarginal shade, the two approximated on inner margin.
