Alois ang^ulifera Butler ah. albifera alien-, uov. 

 Six d S from Shikotan aud one i from Nemoro liave the central banfl between 

 the discal spot and the subcostal sinus of the exterior line quite white, unclouded by 

 the grey suffusion ; and the central shade, instead of curving round the discocellular 

 s[X)t, |>asses through it. or only just outside. A ? from Japan, without more precise 

 locality, has the whole of the central band whitish, while in one wing the central 

 shade passes iiiside the discocellular marking ; this is ]irobably the ? form answering 

 to the above <S ^ . Even in the type form, the ? ? (which appear to be far rarer than 

 the (?<J) have the central field much paler than the <S S  



Cleora Curtis. 

 The application of the generic term Cleora to the lichen-feeding species of 

 Boarmia Tr. was an error of Guenee's. Curtis, in introducing the genus (Brit. Ent., 

 PI. LXXXVIII.) gave only one species, cinctaria, which must remain the type. 



Cleorodes gen. nov. 

 Cleorodes lichenaria. 

 Meyrick has separated this .species from those usually allied with it, but made it 

 a Olewa. This is completely wrong, as the tvjie of Cleora Curtis was cinctaria. 

 I propose the above name for lichen'iria. 



Ectropis grisescens sp. nov. 



Distinguished from vjxelleus Butler by the smaller size, the entire absence of the 

 dark blotcli in the middle of the exterior line, as well as by the line itself being much 

 less sinuate and dentated, in which character the other lines agree. I'nderside 

 without any markings, but a dark line along the centre of each wing. 



Expanse of wing : ?, 46 to 52 mm. 



Four ? ? — -three from Ningpoo, and one from Hakodate. 



The example from Hakodate, which may be called aberr. obliqua, shows this 

 .simple formation of the cross lines much more plainlv than the others. 



Phthonandria gen. uov. 

 Agreeing in most res[iects witli Ilenieivphila Stph., Init distinguished by the ? 

 antennae, which are pectinated, though less .strongly than in the cf . 

 Type : Fhlfwnandria atrilineata Butler (He)nerophilci). 



Ephemerophila gen. nov. 



Near akin to Hemerophila, but with narrower, more elongate wings. Both wings 

 elbowed at the end of the tliird median nervule, ami with the hindmargin deeply 

 dentate. Hindwings with two larger teeth at the end of the first subcostal and third 

 median nervules. 



Type : EjA. hiimeraria Jloore (Heiaerophila). 



Hemerophila subpilosa ^\>. nov. 



cJ. Red brown, du.sted and suffused with darker aud blackish ; lines and markings 

 exactly as in canidoi'sata Wlk., but a smaller aud weaker insect. .Ma> be distin- 

 guished by the underside of the wings, which from base to outer line are nearly straw 

 colour, hardly dusted with darker, and by the hairy under surface of the hindwings.
