Simopteryx gen. nov. 



Resembling Chnicodes Gucn., but the antennae of tlie S are pectinated, instead 

 of being simple ; the transverse lines, instead of running vertically, are directed 

 obliquely inwards. 



Type : 8. torqunlaria \Mk. (C'imicodea). 



Simopteryx (?) cervina sp. nov. 



Wings fawn coloured, with a slight pinkish tinge, dusted with black atoms, with- 

 out auv markings except, in the forewiugs, the commencement on the costa of two 

 dark transverse lines, angulated on the subcostal nervure, and not plainly traceable 

 across the wing, and, in the hindwings, an indistinct central line. Head, abdomen, 

 and underside alike. 



P'xpanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One ? from Madagascar. 



Cratoptera apicata sp. nov. 



?. Forewings pale yellow, (juite s[)arsely dusted with fuscous atoms; the costa 

 broadly and difTusedly reddish brown, with white dashes at intervals along the 

 extreme edge ; first line brown, diffuse, bluntly angulated a little above the middle ; 

 second line from the apex itself runs straight to the middle of the inner margin ; a 

 dark spot on costa at two-thirds ; cell spot minute, black ; a submargiual shade of 

 indistinct browu blotches. Hindwings with second line produced straight across it ; a 

 submarginal interrupted band of brown blotches, the two central the largest and 

 nearest the centre. Underside bright yellow, with the lines of the forewings thick, 

 red brown ; a red brown vertical irregular submarginal cloud ; hindwings with central 

 line and submarginal shade pinkish orange. Head, thorax, and abdomen yellow. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



One ? from British Guiana. 



Eusarca Hiib. 



The American species of Caherodeti Guen. — all, that is, but the first, which is an 

 Indian species, and will stand as type of Gaherod.es, — differ in no single point from 

 his previou.sly des«-ibed Apicia; but this name will not stand, for in his Exot. Schm., 

 i., Lep. 5, Geom. 1, 1 A. b. Hiibner uses the generic term Eutidrai for his own 

 species con/usaria, which thereby becomes the tvpe. The subsequent use of Eusarca 

 by H. S., etc., for the jacvlaria group is consequently erroneous. 



The species of this genus are very closely allied, and at the same time variable 

 inter se, so that their accurate differentiation is not at all easy, and may require 

 future modification.
