338. Microxydia fulvicoUis spec. jiov. 



Forewing : cream-colour tinged with lemou-yellow, cUiefly along tbe conrs. 

 of the usual lines, which are represented by diffuse sliades ; the first near base, 

 curved, and most distinct on inner margin ; the outer obli(jue, beyond middle! 

 starting from a bright chestnut subapical costal blotch, formed of the retracted 

 portion of the line from vein (1, where it is angled, to costa, followed l)y a 

 costal blotch edged with lustrous lilac and a smaller one at apex ; fringe pale 

 yellow. 



lUndirimi: cream-colour, witli a sunill fulvous yellow spot at two-thirds of 

 inner margin, rei)reseuting the outer line ; fringe 2)ale yellow. 



Underside of forewing cream-colour, the costal half yellow ; base of costa 

 and cell-spot fulvous brown ; apical blotch chestnut. Hindwing yellowish 

 tinged, with slight brown cell-spot and outer line indicated at costa ; fringes 

 yellowish. 



Face and vertex snow-white; palpi, collar, and base of shoulders chestnut; 

 thorax, patagia, and abdomen cream-c^olnur washed with yellow ; antennae brown. 



Expanse of wings : 24 — 20 mm.

Mimoprora gen. nov. 

 Like Isovhromodes Warr., from which it is at once distinguished by the 

 jialjii which somewhat resemble those of Anisodes ; the terminal joint is some- 

 times as long as the first and second together, and is deflexed nearly at right 

 angles to the second ; which is rough-haired, while the third is slender with 

 apiiressed scales and blunt at the tip. The antennae of the c? are subserrate 

 and i)ubescent merely, not ciliate or fasciculate. The hind margins of both wings 

 are rounded, showing no trace of elbow. The liindtibiae of the S are greatly 

 swollen, with four spurs. 



Neurafioii. : forewing, cell half as long as wing ; discocellular vertical ; 

 first median nervule at one-half, second at seven-eighths ; radials normal ; T, 8, 9 

 stalked from bend in subcostal; 10 and 11 coincident anastomose with 12, 

 10 separating afterwards, but not anastomosing with 8, 9. 



Type : Mimoprora rubra spec. nov. 



A second species, of which I have seen a single ? only, must from the 

 palpi be referred to this genus ; this, from the description, I identify as 

 Sahnlodes granula Dogn., of which the palpi are said to be " assez longs, 

 a dernier article grele et nu." 



339. Mimoprora rubra spec nov. 



Forewing : dull brick-red or brownish red, speckled with dark ; the lines 

 darker, indistinct, but marked by blackish pale-tipped spots on the veins ; first 

 at one-third, bent in cell ; outer at five-sixths, biconcave, angled outward on vein 4 ; 

 cell-s])ot black mingled with grey ; an indistinct median shade, jiarallcl to outer 

 line ; fringe concolorous, with small black marginal dots at the vein-ends. 



Uindwing ; similar ; the cell-spot large ; costal area at base whitish. 



Underside rufous ochreous, sparsely sjieckled ; cell-spots black ; a smoky 

 blackish marginal band, broad on forewing, but thinning out towards anal
