Palpi upcurved, short; terminal joint pointed. Antennae of t? subserrate. 

 filiated throughout their whole length, the ciliatious long and slender. 



Type : B. discopunctaria U.S. (Dosithea). 



Distinguished from Heterephyra Warr. by the structure of the c? antennae and 

 the outline of the wings. The scaling is also much loo.ser and coarser, that of 

 Heterephijra lieing fine and dense.

For referring Packard's Eiuwidalta jioridata to this species I rely on the 

 following considerations. The tyjie of Packard's genus Euackkdia, viz. sericeariii, 

 is described as having, so to speak, a piece bitten out of the hindmargin of the 

 liindwings, and this holds good of the other species referred to the genus; but 

 Packard expressly savs of his jloridfiia that the hindwiugs are rounded. 



Eois latimarginata -p. nov. 



Forewintjs : straw-yellow, with costa narrowly purplish; both wings with a 

 broad purplish marginal border, the inner edge of which is sinuous ; the yellow 

 ground-colour reappears just before the fringe, which is wholly straw-colour, and 

 forms a larger spot at the anal angle ; a small ])urple cell-spot in each wing. 



Vertex of head and antennae straw-colour; face and collar purplish chocolate. 

 Underside like upiier. 



Expanse of wings : 12 mm. 



One ? from Jai>an (Yokohama?). 



Gnamptoloma gen. nov. 



For&wings : with costa straight, but suddenly convex before apex, which is 

 falcate ; hindmargin with a most evident angle about the middle ; space between 

 apex and this angle ^■ariably excavated ; lower half from the middle to the anal angle 

 always straight, not curxed, as in OchodonUa Led. 



Hindwinijs : with distinct projecting angle. 



Antennae and pal[ii as in Tiiiwiulva. Neuration normal. JIarkings : a straight 

 line from before the apex of forewing to centre of inner margin of hindwing, a large 

 pale-centred cell-spot in forewing, and a small white-centred spot in hindwing. 



Type: 0. aventiarm Guen. (Timandra). 



Heterephyra gen. nov. 



Forewi'ivja : broad; costa straight, convex before apex; hindmargin entire, 

 curved ; anal angle distinct. 



Hindwings : broad with well-rounded hindmargin. 



Palpi upcurved in front of face; antennae of S thickened, with fascicles of cilia 

 which are longer near base, and decrease in length till about the middle, where they 

 disappear, the apical half being sul)serrate and pubescent ; tongue present ; hind 

 tibiae and tarsi of cJ aborted, with a thick curved tuft of hairs.
