Phthonoloba gen. no\-. 



Forewings with costa curved tliroughout ; hindmargin obliquely curved; apex 

 rectangular, not acute ; anal angle rounded ; inner margin two-thirds as long as 

 costa. Hindwings of ordinary size, with rounded hindmargin. Abdomen of S very 

 long, the two middle segments abnormally lengthened, as in Tatosoma Butler, from 

 New Zealand ; legs long and slender ; hind tibiae with one pair of spurs ; antennae 

 thick and simple, aunulated above ; palpi long, rostriform, as in Hemodes. Neura- 

 tion : forewings, first median nervule at half ; second and thii-d from end of cell, 

 running concave to each other ; lower radial from centre of transverse vein ; accessory 

 cell large ; first subcostal nervule from before apex of accessory cell ; second, third, 

 and fourth on a common stem from the end ; fifth a little below the outer angle ; 

 upper radial from above the upper angle of cell ; first median at two-thirds, second 

 just before the end, third from the end. 



Type : Phthonoloba decussatd Moore {Sauris). 



The diagnosis of this genus was accidentally omitted in Proceedings Zoological 

 Society, 1893, p. 3G3. 



Phthonoloba curvistriga sp. nov. 



Like the Indian sjiecies, P. decussuta ]\Ioore, in coloration, but differing in 

 having the edges of the central fascia and the lines next adjacent, formed of sym- 

 metrical simple curves, whereas in decassata each curve is irregularly broken and 

 angulated. The hindwings are much darker, brownish grey. 



A pair from Gunong Ijau. 



Kemodes cinerosa. 

 ?Remodes remodesaria llmpsn. (/. L. II., viii., p. 31 (iiart), Nilgiris). 

 These Nilgiri specimens are all larger than Walker's Ceylon examples of 

 remodesaria, much less green, being thickly sprinkled with dark grey ; they all show 

 a clear pale sinuous subterminal fascia, like the Australian vetustata Wlk., to which 

 they seem nearest allied. The c?(J have the cleft in the forewings evident, and the 

 hind tibiae are armed with a thick tuft of black hairs. 

 Two cJ J , one ? . 



Sauris <uien. 

 This genus diflers from Remodes Guen., in having the hindwings of the S small, 

 but not distorted, with a small indi.stinct lobe at the base. The third median 

 nervule is wanting in the hindwings. 



Holorista gen. nov. 



Allied to Remodes Guen., witli which it agrees in all respects, exce])t that it is 

 without the incision in the hindmargin of the forewings of the S, which characterises 

 that genus. 



Type : //. proboscidaria Wlk. (Sauris).
