Dyschoroneura gen. iiov. 



AlliofI to Periip-nraraa Uueii., alike in size, shape of wings, and general 

 structure, and in neuration except in one particular point, which is enough to 

 characterise the genus. The first median vein of the forewings, instead of starting 

 at half the cell and running straight, is suddenly deflexed from the median just 

 beyond the basal fovea so as nearly to touch the submedian fold, above which it 

 runs parallel, to tlie liindinargin. In tlie hindwings the position of the first median 

 is quite normal. 



Type : Dyschoroneura obsolescens sp. nov. 



Dyschoroneura obsolescens s]i. nov. 



Forewings dingy white, witli the costa, fringe, and veins luteous-fuscous. 

 Hindwings the same. Underside with the costa, hindmargin, and apex broadly 

 fuscous ; this fuscous tinge shows through on the upjierside as a bluish gi'ey 

 suffusion. Thorax and abdomen dull whitish; face and collar dingy luteous ; palpi 

 and antennae and outside of legs fuscous. 



Kxpanse of wings : 48 mm. 



One c? from Santa Kosa. 



Myrmecophantes gen. nov. 



Wings ample, elongate. Forewings witli costa straight except at the extreme 

 base and before apex ; apex blunt ; hindmargin obliquely rounded. Hindwings 

 with hindmargin rounded. Thorax and abdomen unusually slender ; face and eyes 

 large ; antennae of S well pectinated ; ? no fovea at base of forewings. 



Type : M. albifascia Mssn. (Genuaa). 



Inca gen. nov. 



1 propose this name provisionally for a genus to contain two species which 

 Mr. Druce calls Nephodki, but in which the figure rejircsents the 6 antennae 

 as simple. 



Type : Tnca weades Druce (Nephodia).

 In his diagnosis of this genus, Guen^e states that the hindwings possess a 

 radial ; this is true only of his third species, cyprarin, the locality of which was 

 doubtful, but which he was inclined to refer to America, as being the habitat of 

 the other two species. We now know that cypraria is an Indian species, and 

 identical with Walker's previously described X^aoxi textills. If Guenc^e's genus 

 be retained,— with the correction that the hindwings are without a radial, — its 

 position will be here; and the type will he t'ranicr's /Vstim, with which Guenee's 

 (i.tpilaria is identical. 



Neuromelia gen. nov. 

 Wings ample ; costa slightly curved ; apex blunt, .sometimes much rounded ; 

 hindmargin obliquely rounded. Hindwings with rounded hindmargin. Antennae 

 of J pectinated, of ? simple, slightly thickened; palpi short, not extending
