Conolophia gen. nov. 



Korewings with costa straight, convex just before apex ; liinchnargin ohhque, 

 slightlv bowed ; anal angU^ obtuse. Hindwings with hind margin rounded and slightly 

 elbowed ; palpi rostriform, black ; longer in ? than <? ; tongue present ; antennae (?). 

 Neuration : forewing with first subcostal free ; the rest on a common stem from 

 near the end of cell. The inner margin of the hindwings in the c?, at about halfway, 

 possesses a raised cone of scales, which stands vertically to the plane of the wing. 



Tyjie : Conolophia conscitaria Wlk. (Pdnaf/ra). 



Loxorhombia gen. nov. 



Forewings with costa abruptly convex at base, then straight to apex, which is 

 bluntly rounded ; hindmargin vertical above, more oblique below, where it becomes 

 subcrenulate. Hindwings with costa straight ; hindmargin produced into a pi-orainent 

 sharp tooth at the end of first subcostal ; thence sinuous, concave towards the tooth, 

 convex towards the anal angle. Antennae of (? pectinated, the pectinations fine, 

 straight, oblique ; forehead projecting somewhat below ; tongue present ; palpi 

 projecting beyond face; second joint hairy; third joint long, pointed ; hind tibiae, 

 not thickened, with four s[)urs. Neiu-ation : forewings, first median from two-thirds, 

 second from seven-eighths, third from end of cell ; radials as usual ; fifth subcostal 

 free from seven-eighths ; the other four on a common stem from two-thirds, which 

 anastomoses with, or approximates to, the costal. Hindwings with costal running 

 parallel to subcostal for quite half the length of cell. 



Type : Loxorhoinbia idea Swinhoe (Panaijra). 



Heteralex gen. nov. 



Forewings rather elongate ; costa very faintly curved from base to apex, which 

 is shortly and acutely produced ; hindmargin obliquely bowed, slightly indented 

 immediately below apex ; hindwings ample, with hindmargin well rounded ; antennae 

 (S) unijjectinate ; palpi porrect, hut only reaching just in front of face; in shape 

 like those of Alex and Gamoruna ; hind tibiae with four spurs. Legs and abdomen 

 long. Neuration : forewings, cell half the length of wing; discocellular angulated, 

 the lower limb oblique ; first median nervule at two-thirds ; second and third 

 together from lower end of cell ; lower radial from centre of discocellular ; upper and 

 fifth subcostal from the upper end of cell ; the others on a common stem from a 

 short distance before end. Hindwings : cell not half as long as wing ; discocellular 

 angulated ; subcostal arched upwards, and approximated for some little way to the 

 costal ; suljcostals from top end of cell ; medians as in forewings.

Heteralex aspersa sp. nov. 



Wings whitish, mottled with ochreous grey or fuscous dots and striae ; a straiglit 

 dark fuscous line from just before apex of forewing to the middle of the inner niargiu 

 of hindwing, followed by a darker tinge than the rest of the wing ; a small dark dot 

 near the base of forewing, and three more in a curve representing the first line ; a 

 distinct black cell spot ; fiom the base an interrupted dark grey shade stretches 

 below the costa as far as the cell, a row of minute black dots at base of fringes, 

 between the veins; hindwings like forewings, hut the cell spot not .so plain; fringes
