Poultonia geu. nov. 



Head short and broad ; eyes smooth ; paljii very short, slightly convergent 

 at tips. Antennae short, about one-third the length of costal margin, with 

 gradually formed club. Thorax robust, almost Hesperiad in appearance. ^Vings 

 short and broad. Closing discocellnlar nervule scarcely visible, especially on 

 upperside, producing appearance of open cell. Well-marked brand in c? on 

 submedian nervnre from base for two-thirds of its length. 



Forelegs well developed and smooth. 



Allied to Durhania Trim, in shape of wings, and to Teriomima Kirhy in 

 coloration. Differs from both in venation. 



Neuration of Poultonia. 



Type : p. ochrascens spec. uov.

I have much pleasure in dedicating this genus to Professor E. B. Poulton, 

 D.Sc, F.R.S., of the Hope Department, Oxford University Museum.

black costal margin widening at apex and narrowing gradually as it follows 

 distal margin to posterior angle, where it ceases. Border on distal margin slightly 

 inwardly denticulate at nervnles. An elongate ochreous band on submedian 



nervnre from base for two-thirds of its length. Hiudwing : ochreous, with 



black distal marginal border, broadest at apex, narrowing as it approaches anal 

 angle. The discal row of pale spots of underside faintly visible. 



Underside. Forewing : black margin.s of upperside replaced by brownish 



grey, and nervures outlined in same colour. Costal margin broad throughout, 



from base scattered with seven or eight small pale, rather indefinite, spots. 



Hindwing uniformly brownish grey with a few whitish spots. Of these the
