Apiciopsis gen. nov. 



Forewing : elongate, narrow ; costa straight, faintly curved at base and apex ; 

 apex produced ; hindmargin strongly angled at vein 4, the margin above the angle 

 slightly concave, below it straight and obli([ne. 



Ill lid /cult/ : with apex well rounded ; anal angle bluntly rectangular, the 

 margin from it to vein 4 straight. 



Abdomen of c? long, with long anal tufts ; antennae thick, lamellate, sub- 

 serrate; palpi porrect, the second segment large, heavily scaled, the third smooth, 

 decumbent, short ; forehead protuberant ; tongue and frenulum present ; coxae of 

 all the legs (apparently) tnfted ; hiudtibia with four spurs. 



Neuration : forewing, cell three-fifths of wing ; discocellular vertical, concave ; 

 first median nervnle just beyond middle, second at seven-eighths ; radials 

 normal; 7, 8 stalked from the bend in subcostal, 9 and the stalk of 10, 11 each 

 some distance before; 10 and 11 coinciJently anastomosing with 12, and 9 

 anastomosing with 10, II, subsequently again with 8: hindwing, costal and 

 subcostal approximating for half of cell ; 7 from before angle. 



In the forewing of ^ the submedian vein is swollen at base, then bent down ; 

 above the submedian fold the wing membrane is contorted and dejiressed, forming 

 an irregular fovea. 



Type : Apiciopsis obliquaria spec. nov. 



~81. Apiciopsis angusta spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale straw-colour, with rather coarse brownish freckles ; costa 

 yellower, with finer dark dusting; first line very fine, oblique outwards from one- 

 third of inner margin towards the black cell-spot; outer line pale brown, thick, 

 darker-edged outwardly, and followed by a fine white line from middle of inner 

 margin into apex, there preceded by a dark spot; a faint brownish submarginal 

 waved shade ; extreme margin brownish-tinged ; fringe worn. 



llitulwing : with cell-spot, and beyond it a sinuous pale brown line parallel to 

 hindmargin, and a brown patch at anal angle. 



Underside paler, with the lines faint. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous ; vertex whiter. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



1 (? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 0000 ft., November 1901, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



Forewing narrow and elongate; the angle at vein 4 jirominent and the apex 

 acute, even in the (?. A much more fragile-looking insect than the type species. 



282. Apiciopsis obliquaria spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale ochreous, thinly dark-speckled ; inner line, obscurely marked, 

 from one-third of inner margin straight and oblique to middle of cell just before 

 discal spot, which is black and distinct; outer line very distinct, dark olive-brown, 

 from apex to three-fifths of inner margin, closely followed by two grey luuulate- 

 deutate lines, of which the inner one is marked by black vein-dots ; an indistinct 

 submarginal slightly waved grey cloud ; fringe narrow, concolorons, with a dark dot 

 at vein 4. 



Ilindwiiig : with outer and submarginal lines slightly sinuous ; the apex clouded 

 with fuscous grey ; fringe with slight grey spots beyond veins.
