sliaped incision, and thencp cnrving into the convex inner margin without jiroducing 

 an anal angle at aU. llindwings elongate, irregidarly margined; both the angles 

 well rounded; a minute tooth of scales at the end of the two subcostals and first 

 median, and a tiroad, irregularly bilobed projection oyiposite the second and tliii-d 

 median nervules, the lower lobe the larger and blunter. Forehead, palpi, antennae, 

 and hind tibiae of t? as in Phyllodonta. Neuration the same, only that the median 

 nerNTire of the forewings is at one-third from the costa, thereby making the cell much 

 narrower than in Phyllodonta, and the projecting upper part of the hindmargin 

 proportionally much shorter. 



Type : LobopaUu latrata Guen. (Azelina). 



Phyllodonta gen. nov. 



Forewings ample ; costa gradually curved from base, and very slightly concave 

 before apex, which is produced as a short blunt point ; hindmargin beneath it in the 

 cj running straiglit, and in the ? slightly curved, in an outward direction, for two- 

 thirds the breadth of the wing, where it forms a short blunt projection similar to that 

 at the apex, and within it a clean semicircular excision, thence curving inwards to 

 the anal angle, which is more jironouuced in the ? than in the S ; inner margin 

 somewhat convex. Hindwings broad, with the hindmargin similar to that of the 

 forewings, but without the apical projection. Forehead prominent ; palpi with basal 

 joint laxly .scaled; second joint with appressed scales, .slightly ascending, third joint 

 short, blunt, thrown forward at an angle with second ; tongue present ; antennae 

 simple in both sexes; hind tibiae of J uniforndy .swollen throughout. Neuration: 

 forewings, cell more than half the length of wing ; discocellular with upper arm 

 vertical; the lower slightly curving outwards ; the median vein nearly in the centre 

 of the wing ; first median nervule only a little beyond the middle, inclined down- 

 wards, and running into hindmargin below the rounded excision at four-fifths from 

 the apex; second median from shortly before the lower angle, third from the angle of 

 cell, and much arched upwards in its course ; lower radial from angle of discocellular, 

 upper radial from top angle of cell, both drooping a little towards the hindmargin ; 

 last three subcostals on common stem, the fifth curving downwards into hindmargin 

 below apex ; the fourth into apex itself; first and second apparently free, but very 

 closely approximated, llindwings like forewings, the first subcostal .starting before 

 the end of cell. 



Type : Phyllodonta caninata Guen. (Azelina). 



The genus has nothing really in common with Aeelina. 



Phyllodonta fiircata sp. nov. 

 Forewings testaceous, sometimes much suffused with fuscous, and dusted with 

 darker atoms ; first line at one-third, brownish olive, somewhat wavy ; an indistinct 

 darker central shade ; second line brown, geminated ; rising at three-fourths and 

 sharply angulated close to the apex, then running to the inner margin just before 

 the anal angle, where it is slightly curved, anil gives off an arm which runs into the 

 angle itself. llindwings with a cui-ved central and denticulated line, followed 

 closely by a straiglit but slightly wavy double line, beyond which the hindmargin 

 is darker ; fringes of all the wings dark brown. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 eoncolorous with wings. Underside testaceous, mottled with darker, with all the 

 markings very indistinct, and the apex of forewing whitish.
