antennae of ? simple ; of c? thickened, laminated ; palpi long, j]on-ect, second joint 

 hairy, third as long as second.'smooth and more slender ; tongue present. Neuration : 

 forewings, cell more than half the length of wing and rather broad; first median 

 nervule from three-fourths, second close before end, third from the end of the cell ; 

 lower radial from the centre of the discocellular ; upper from top angle of cell ; fiftli 

 subcostal separate, from the subcostal nervure shortly before end of cell ; second, 

 third, and fourth on a common stem ; first subcostal free. Hindwings : costal 

 running clo.se to subcostal for half the length of cell, then curving awav ; two 

 subcostals close together from upper end of cell ; medians as in forewings ; scaling 

 coarse and loose. 



Type : Ghlorodydon usneata P'eld. {Scotopterix ?J. 



Chrysomima gen. no\ . 



Forewings elongated ; costa gi-adually arched from base to apex, before which it 

 is even very slightly concave ; apex shortly prominent ; hindmargin with upper half 

 vertical, lower half oblique, strongly dentate ; the teeth at the apex, at the end of the 

 upper radial, and of the second and third median nervules being the largest, the two 

 latter forming a bifid blunt projection in the middle of the margin ; anal angle obtuse, 

 but well defined. Hindwings rounded, with subcrenulate hindmargin. Antennae (?) 

 simple, fine ; tongue present (mouth jiarts damaged) ; alsdomen very stout and dis- 

 tended. Nem'ation as in Chlm'oclydon, but the second and third medians in both 

 wings and the two subcostals in the hindwings rise from a point together. The costal 

 of the hindwings is approximated to the sulicostal for only a short distance ; scaling 

 smooth and fine ; the markings like those of Ischnopteri-s Hlib. 



Type : Chrysomima semilutearia Feld. (Oonodontis ?). 



Axiodes gen. nov. 



P^orewings elongate ; costa decidedly concave between base and apex ; hind- 

 margin curved, irregularly crenate ; anal angle square. Hindwings elongate, with 

 hindmargin deeply and irregularly crenate. f^orehead, head, and thorax hairy; 

 tongue present ; antennae in t? pectinated ; palpi witb second joint hairy, third long, 

 fusiform : hind tibiae with two [lairs of spurs. Neuration : forewings, cell two-third.< 

 as long as wing ; first median nervule from fi\e-sixths, second and third from lower 

 end of cell ; lower radial from middle of discocellular ; upper radial from upper angle ; 

 last four subcostals on common stem which rises some way before end of cell, the 

 second, third, and fourth rising from the fifth at an abrupt angle; first subcostal free, 

 as far as can be seen without denuding the type. Hindwings with costal approxi- 

 mated to subcostal for half the length of cell ; the two subcostals, and the last two 

 medians fi-om upper and lower end of cell re?pecti\ely. 



Type : A. insciatu Feld. {Axia). 



Erilophodes gen. nov. 

 F"orewings elongated ; costa straight except just before apex, which is blunt ; 

 hindmargin oblique, slightly bent below middle ; anal angle well marked. Hind- 

 wings with inner angle rounded, and hindmargin hardly curved. Abdomen of (J long 

 and slender, with strong erect tufts of scales on each segment ; antennae of J pecti- 

 nated, with apex simple ; of ? finely subserrate ; pali)i porrect, shortish ; third joint
