angiiJatcd, the lower arm oblique ; first median at half ; second a little before, third 

 from, the end of cell; lower radial from a little above the angulation of the 

 discocellular ; upper fi'om the top end of cell ; last four subcostals on common stem ; 

 first free, llindwing.s: discocellular angulated, the lower arm, in the (J, itself lieut 

 outwards; costal approaching subcostal a little way from liase ; first subcostal well 

 before the end of cell, second from end, running nearly into the middle of the 

 Idndmargin ; radial from the bend in the lower arm of the discocellular ; third 

 median from lower end of cell ; first and second at even distances shortly before the 

 end, both running into the inner margin, which is cut away and leaves no room for 

 an interior vein, except quite close to the margin. In the ? the lower arm of 

 the discocellular is straight, and the radial starts from the angulation, while all the 

 three medians run into the hindmargin. Scaling semidiaphanous. 

 Ty])e : Palaemiiystis fnlcatorla INIoore (Urajdei'y.r). 



Archaeopseustes gen. uov. 



Forewings ample, triangular, with costa nearly straight, convex just before apex, 

 which is bluntly rectangular ; hindmargin e\enly and obliquely curved ; anal angle 

 rather prominent. Hindwings rather short and narrow, in comparison with forewings ; 

 hindmargin rounded. Forehead sloping ; face strongly and bluntly protuberant ; 

 antennae (cJ) stoutly bipectinated to near the apex ; tongue present ; palpi horizontal, 

 second joint woollv, terminal small, smooth ; all femora and pectus hairy ; hind tibiae 

 with four spurs; abdomen with slight lateral tufts. NVuration : forewings, cell not 

 half the length of the wing ; discocellular crescent shaped ; first median nervule at 

 three-fourths, second just before, third from, the end of the cell ; lower radial from 

 centre of discocellular ; upjier from upper angle of cell ; last foiir subcostal nervules on 

 a common stem, starting from close to angle of cell, second leaving first, fifth next, 

 third and fourth parting shortly before apex ; first subcostal free, from just before end 

 of cell ; hindwings with costal shortly approximated to subcostal near base ; both sub- 

 costals from top end of cell ; rest of neuration as in forewings. 



Type : A. arapUricata Wlk. {Abraxan). 



Tosaura ( ?J pallida sp. nov. 



Forewings white, with a tinge of yellow, sparsely sprinkled with olive fuscous 

 atoms ; first line indicated only by an inwardly oblique blackish costal blotch ; second 

 line by a similar but rather broader one on the costa ; a faint olive patch in the centre 

 of. the wing, and a small darker one on the inner margin ; hindmargin with a sm^U 

 dark blotch above and below the elbow; fringe dark, except at the elbow. Hindwings 

 with a pale olive fuscous fascia at two-thirds from the base. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen concolorous with forewings. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One ? from .Japan. The; example aliove described is a good deal worn, Init is 

 manifestly a distinct species. I am not certain that it is a true Tosaura, as tlu; palpi 

 appear to be much longer thau in the two Indian species of the genus, and more 

 rostriform. 



Desmobathra plana sp. no\ . 



Wings all deep yellow above and below, with no markings whatever excejrf two 

 small brown costal spots, which indicate the origin of the transverse lines. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen concolorous. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



Two Si from Lifu.
