( 404 ) 



almost obsolete between them ; a large irregularly rounded ocellus on the dis- 

 cocellular, which is prolonged as a brown blotch, nearly to touch the exterior line ; 

 marginal line and spots between the veins red brown. Hindwings tlie same, but 

 without cell spot, and all the spots less distinct. Face, palpi, and antennae brown ; 

 all else, and underside of ^^■ings white. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



One ? from Petroijolis. 



This must be allied to Opktkalmophora alba Druce. 



Ophthalmophora tiuen. 

 For the majority of the species placed by (fuenee in liis genus of this name, 

 Hiibner's earlier term Upistkoxia will have priority. These all have, as far as 

 is at present known, simple antennae in the d ; Imt for aleclaria, the c? of which 

 has well jieotinated antennae, Guenee's generic name may fairlv be retained. 



SriiKA.MiLV PLITODIX.VE. 

 Archiplutodes gen. nov. 

 Closely allied to Plidodes Giien., and Mim-onissa Swinh., having, like those 

 genera, uniseriate pectinated antennae in both sexes. The hindwings are fully 

 rounded. In markings it is abundantly distinct ; these cou.sist of a series of dark 

 transverse undulating streaks, and a large discal si)ot. 

 Type: A. praaina i^vinh. (Asthena). 



SuBFAJiiLV DEILINIINAE. 

 Bapta distans sp. nov. 



Verv close to B. riiytylata Guen. (= 'iiiargarita IVIoore) from India ; as in that 

 species the fi'inge is pure white with no trace of a dark basal line ; but the wings 

 are not so iridescent. It may be distinguished by the cour.se of the second line, 

 which is not only further from the hiudmargin, but runs exactly parallel to it on both 

 wings, except on costa of forewings where it is evidently recurved basewards. In the 

 hindwings of nu/ti/Iata this line approaches the hiudmargin towards the anal angle; 

 alidomen (?) dark grey. 



One ? from Japan. 



Bapta foedata sp. nov. 



Like B. temerata in sliape, liut decidedly smaller in size ; both wings thickly 

 dusted with dirty grey scales; an indistinct darker e.xterior line, formed by the 

 agglomeration of these scales, and running parallel throughout to the hiudmargin. 

 Fore\vings with a small black cell dot ; fringes white with a fine fuscous basal line. 

 Underside shining white, the base of the forewings suffused with cinereous. 



One 9 from .lapan. 



Bapta ochrilinea sj). nov. 



Of the same size and shape as B. kuierula, shining white, sparsely sprinkled 

 with small black atoms, and with a small and indistinct dark di.scal spot in each 

 wing. Xo distinct trace of a transvers.^ line. Uasal line of fringes pale rust colour, 

 tine and concise; extreme edge of costa of forewings yellowish. Underside of both 

 wings ])ure wliitc. 



One ¥ from " China," without more precise locality'.
