New Guinea : Kei Is. — Q. : Brisbane (Turner) ; from Feb-

 China. 



5. CHILANOTID^. 



Ocelli present. Forewings with 2 from before | of cell, 8 

 and 9 stalked or coincident. Hindwings without basal pecten 

 on lower margin of cell, 5 parallel to 4, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This curious family consists, at present, of only a few small 

 genera of Indo-Malayan origin. It has undoubted relation- 

 ship to the GlypJivpterygidce on the one hand, and the Eucos- 

 midce on the other, yet does not appear to be actually transi- 

 tional between them, but rather to represent an offshoot from 

 the former parallel to the latter. The palpi are often 

 pointed or even acute as in the former, and there is more 

 range of variation in neuration than in the Eucosmidce ; yet 

 the general appearance is remarkably uniform and charac- 

 teristic. 



68. Epirehceca, n.g. 

 Antennae in cf simple. Palpi moderate, ascending, second 

 joint with rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint 

 short, obtuse. Forewings with 6 connected or anastomosing 

 with 7 beyond its middle, 7 to costa, 8 and 9 out of 7. Hind- 

 wings with 3 and 4 connate or approximated at base, fi and 7 

 long-stalked. 



438. E. neoris, n.sp. 



cf. 17-19 mm. Head rather dark fuscous. Palpi white, 

 base fuscous. Thorax white, anteriorly suffused with rather 

 dark fuscous. Posterior tibiae clothed with whitish hairs. 

 Forewings elongate, posteriorly rather dilated, costa slightly 

 arched, apex strongly prominent, obtuse, termen abruptly 

 concave beneath it ; silvery-white ; costa obliiiuelv strigiilated 

 with dark fuscous except towards base, alternate interspaces 

 fulvous; a semioval blotch of fuscous suffusion strigulated with 

 (lark fuscous extending on dorsum from 1 to ?, and reaching
