separated from the hasal lialf by a conliiniation of the exterior line of the forewings, 

 which in this case is neither wavy nor dentate; fringe all dark. Mead, thorax, and 

 abdomen pale testaceous ; palpi and face dark brown. Underside yellowish ochreous, 

 coarsely mottled with dark fuscous ; discal spots distinct black ; second line on 

 forewings white, on hindwiugs black ; marginal space in both wings fulvous, excei)t 

 near the centre of the hindwings, where there is a yellow patch ; two l)lackish spots 

 below t he apex of the forewings. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



One c? from Santos. 



Intermediate between brantsiata Snell. and sicclfolia AVarr., having the 

 prominent central tooth of the hindwings of the former, and the less indented 

 margins of the latter. 



Rhomboptila siccifolia sp. nov. 



Forewings pale wood colom', sometimes much suflfused with olive, in which case 

 the markings are less distinct ; these consist of a dark wavy basal line, diffuse 

 intemallv, preceded in the basal area by two or three dark spots; an ill-defined 

 darker central shade beyond the small dark cell spot ; second line fine, oblique, at 

 four-fifths; angulated near the costa, and slightly curved outwards before inner 

 margin ; followed in the marginal space by two dark clouds. Hindwings paler, not 

 suffused, with a small dark cell spot, and a straight dusky line from inner to anal 

 angle ; fringes of both wings reddish brown. Head, thorax, and abdomen wood 

 colour ; face yellowish ; palpi and antennae brown. Underside dull straw colom-, 

 dusted with fuscous, with the external line in both wings brown, and a cinereous 

 cloud before the hindmargin of the forewings. 



Expanse of wings : 38 to 42 mm.

Anisog'onia gen. nov. 

 Forewings ample ; costa nearly .straight in the middle, more abruptly arched 

 from base, and before apex ; apex in S lilunt, scarcely projecting ; in ? forming 

 a small subacute point ; hindmargin curved, with a slightly irregular outline, caused 

 by uneven projections opposite the veins, and with a scarcely perceptible elbow above 

 the middle; ? with the hindmargin below the subfalcate apex running slightly 

 outwards for not quite half the width of the wing, where it forms a similarly shaped 

 toothlike projection to that at the apex, followed inwardly by a deejj circular incision 

 between the second and third, and a shallower one between the first and second 

 median nervules, this latter being thereby flanked by two smaller teeth ; anal angle 

 as in S, not definitely marked; inner margin hardly convex. Hindwings full, with 

 hindmargin rounded, with a very faint projection in centre. Forehead slightly 

 prominent; palpi i)orrect, rather drooping ; the second joint broad, stout; the third 

 short, conical ; tongue present ; antennae of ? simple ; of S pectinated to apex. 

 Hind tibiae of tj long, .scarcely thickened, with two pairs of long, rather distant, 

 spurs. Neuration : forewings, cell a little more than half as long as the wing ; 

 discocellular inangulated ; first median nervule from two-thirds, second close before 

 end, third from end of cell ; lower radial from angle of discocellular ; upper from 

 upper angle of cell ; five subcostals on a common stem, rising tliorlly before end
