with the two above-mentioued species of Eidepidotis. Phrygionis is therefore left 

 with cultaria Hiih. for its type, aud lx)th Guenee's Byssodes and H. S.'s Eidepidotus 

 must sink. 



Galactopteryx gen. nov. 



Forewings trianguhir ; eosta nearly straight, convex just before apex, which is 

 blunt ; hindniargin slightly curved, with a scarcely perceptible elbow at the end of 

 the third median nervule. JIind\vings kite-shaped, with a short tooth, or merely a 

 prominence in the middle of the hindmargin. Pali>i upcurved in front of face, the 

 terminal joint very minute; antennae of ? simple, minutely subserrulate, of (^ armed 

 with fascicles of cilia ; tongue present ; hind tibiae of S with four spurs. Neuration 

 normal ; scaling thick and glossy, white. Closely related to Gonorthua Butler, but 

 distinguished by the c? antennae, which in Gonwthus are strongly pectinated. 



Type : Gakiclopteryx penicillatu sp. nov. 



Galactopteryx curvistriga sp. no\ . 



Wings milk white ; like G. penicillata, but differing as follows : costa of fore^rings 

 not yellow, but pure white, as are the fringes ; lines of the forewing ochreous, not 

 grey, running from inner margin before anal angle to the costa, not erect, but parallel 

 throughout to the hindmargin. Hiudwings the same ; the second line forms no spot 

 on the inner margin. Underside wholly white. Thorax and abdomen white, only 

 antennae and face appearing slightly Inteous. 



Expanse of wings : 36 mm. 



One S from Rio Janeiro. 



Tiie hindwings in this species have only a slight [)rominence instead of an angle 

 in the middle of the hindmargin. 



Galactopteryx ( ? ) nigiicornis sji. nov. 



Wings and body all milk white, the extreme base of the costa of forewings alone 

 being black ; collar, face, base of antennae, and outside of palpi also black ; antennae 

 themselves luteous. 



Expanse of wings : 36 to 38 mm. 



Two ? ? from the Felder collection, one of which is marked Bogota. 



In the absence of the t? I have queried the genus, though I ha\e little doubt 

 that the species belongs here. 



Galactopteryx penicillata sp. nov. 



Wings milk white : costa of forewings narrowly yellowish, sometimes with a 

 dark dot or two faintly \-isible ; from the inner margin before the anal angle rise 

 two erect fuscous grey streaks, which hardly reach beyond the middle of the \ring, 

 both towards the middle becoming Itroken into two or three smaller streaks. Hind- 

 wings the same, but both streaks more distinct, and nearly parallel to hindmargin; 

 the outer one on the inner margin forms a dark .spot ; fringes of lx)th wings pale 

 ochreous. Thorax and abdomen white ; face, antennae, palpi, and inside of legs 

 luteous; top of head, base of antennae, and knees black. Underside pure white. 



A 6 without locality given; a? from the Felder collection markrcl Cayenne. 



Expanse of wings : cJ, 36 mm. ; ? . 34 mm.
