Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



One c? from Padang. 



The hindmargin of the liindwing is straight from tlie anal angle to the end of 

 the third median vein, but is followed by one deeper excavation than is .seen 

 in syringuriit I. inn. 



Leptodontopera gen. no\-. 



Forewings ample ; costa nearly straight, faintlj' convex just before apex ; 

 hindmargin strongly denticulate, the teeth at the end of the upper radial and third 

 median nervule beiug larger than the others ; upper half nearly vertical, lower half 

 oblique ; anal angle nearly rectangular. Hindwings still more deeply denticulate 

 than forewings, the tooth at end of third median the longest ; bluntly rounded at 

 the inner angle; more square at anal angle. Antennae of i strongly pectinated; 

 of ? filiform, siiiq)le; palpi .short, thick; terminal joint minute; tongue present. 

 Neuration normal. 



Type : Leptodontopera decorata Moore (Selenia). 



A genus of Kast Indian species, much less strongly built than Odontoptera

Leptesthes gen. nov. 



Forewings ample ; costa straight for three-fourths, theu strongly con\ex ; apex 

 curved, blunt ; hindmargin with a short but deep excavation beneath apex opposite 

 the cell, a l.iroad blunt elbow at the end of the second and third median nervules, then 

 ol)li(pie and slightly concave to anal angle, which is well marked. Hindwings with 

 hindmargin irregularly dentate, with one much deeper excavation op)iosite the cell. 

 Abdomen thin ; antennae of the c? finely and shortly ciliated; palpi short, drooping; 

 tongue present. Neuration normal; discocellular biarcuate, concave outwards, marked 

 bv a doulile hyaline crescent on both wings; scaling fine and smooth. 



Type : Leptesthes inegaspila Moore {Lagyra). The resemblance to JJi/pusldra 

 tiuen, is only supei'ficial. 



Hyalornis gen. nov. 

 Forewings rather narrow; costa straight for three-fourths, then Imlged, and 

 convex before apex, which is bluntly rounded ; hindmargin strongly coneaxe below 

 ajiex, vertical to the end of second median nervule, where it is strongly elbowed,
