 Ctenistochlora gen. nov. 



Like AploMovd Warr., but the antennae of the S are bipectinate for two-thirds 

 instead of being simple ; the hindwing has the hindmargin visibly crenulate, and 

 bluntly but decidedly elbowed at vein 4 ; in Aplochlora the hindmargin is evenly 

 rounded. 



The antennae of the ? are simple ; in Clilorocfexiii, an African genus, the ¥ has 

 the antennae pectinated like the c?. 



In nenration Gfrnistoc/dora practically agrees with Aplochlora, the only 

 difference being very slight ; in tlie latter genus 10 and 11 arise coincidently from 

 the stem of 7, 8, 9 ; in the former they arise separately from the same point 

 as 7, 8, 9.

The t3'pe was a ? from Isabel Island ; of three specimens from Bougainville 

 two arecJc? with pectinated antennae, but otherwise agreeing with the ?.
