Hindwinifs : broad, with tlie hindmargin distinctly elbowed at end of third 

 nicdian ; anal angle square, rather produced. 



Antennae of S with short even pectinations, the terniinal third s?ubserrale ; of 

 ? simjjle, very finely subserrate beneath. Palpi of d porrect, short ; second joint 

 hairy, third minutely rostriform ; of ? longer. Tongue present ; hind tibiae of (? 

 thickened with pencil of hairs, with three spurs, one at end, the other two above ; 

 abdomen in both sexes with the middle segments tinged witli red above. 



Type : Miantonola intei/rii W-.u-r. 



Phrudocentra gin. no\. 



Allied to Miantonota Wnrr., l)nt differing in the following points: the himl- 

 niargin of forewings is not evenly carved, but bulging in the middle, and slightlv 

 concave above and below, the apex of the wing thus appearing more pointed ; the 

 antennae of the ? are perfectly filiform, not subserrate ; and while the <S palpi agree 

 with those oi Miantonota, the ? are long and slender, just as in the genus Aniaodes 

 and its allies ; the hind tibiae of the c? are thickened w'ith a pencil of hairs, but are 

 entirely devoid of spurs. In scaling luid coloration tlie genus approaches Melocldwa 

 and Dichorda. 



Type : Phrudocentra jjupilhiMi, W'arr. 



Pyrochlora gen. uo\ . 



Forevdngs : with costa gradually arched throughout ; apex blunt, more 

 produced in ? than (? ; hindmargin oblii|uely curved, in the ? very slightly 

 sinuous ; anal angle distioct. 



Hindwings : broad; the anal angle produced and square; hindmargin faintlv 

 curved. 



Palpi very short, porrect, not reaching iieyond face; tongue present; antennae 

 shortly l)ectinated in both sexes, the aiiical half ciliated ; hind tibiae of t? with two 

 pairs of stout spin's.

Antitrygodes gen. nov. 



Kesembles Tri/r/odes Guen. in sliape of wings, but ditVers in the following 

 ]ioints : the pal|)i are shortly iqiturued in front of face, not porrect, as in I'l'yyoden ; 

 the hind tibiae of the c? are thickened and flattened, smooth, without spurs, and the 

 hind tar.si aborted, as in Ptychopoda Stph. Though bearing a strong sujjerficial 

 likeness to Trygodes, the species have markings of a quite different character. In the 

 American genus the three transverse denticulated lines are parallel to one another 

 and to the hindmargin; in the Indian, on the contrary, the first line is nearly 

 straight, the .second oblique and minutely dentate, the third curved outwards towards 

 the anal angle, and not parallel either to the second or to the hindmargin. 



Nearation : cell nearly half as long as wing ; first median at two-thirds, sccoikI and 

 third from lower angle of cell ; lower radial i'rom above centre of discocellular, upper 

 from upper angle of cell ; last four subcoslals on common stem, fir.sl approximated 

 to or anastomosing with their stem. Hindwings with the radial from above centre 

 of discocellular; two subcostals from upper angle of cell ; medians as in forewings. 



Type : Antitrygodes divisario, ^\'lk. (Macaria).
