 Brabirodes gen. nov. 



Forewing : elongate triangular ; costa straight, becoming convex towards 

 apex, which is bhiut ; hindmargin obliquely curved, longer than inner margin, and 

 slightly crenulate ; anal angle ronudod off. 



IlindwiiKj : small, bluntly toothed at all the veins, that at vein 4 prominent. 



Palpi porrect, long, pointed, terminal segment obscured ; antennae lignlate, 

 with nniseriate clavate teeth to beyond middle, the upper edge spinulose ; tongue 

 and frenulum present. 



Xeiiration : forewing, cell not iiuito half as long as wing ; discocejlnlar 

 vertical ; first median uervule at two-thirds, second at five-sixths ; radials normal ; 

 7, 8, 9 stalked from end of cell ; 10 and 11 from cell, 10 anastomosing with 11 and 

 again with 8, 9, forming a double areole : hindwing with costal anastomosing with 

 subcostal to near end of cell, 7 absent, coincident with 8. 



Type : Brabirodes peruviana spec. nov. 



The type-species is a wonderful mimic of the Oriental genus Jjrabira.
