Zeuctoneura geminata sp. nov. 



Forewings : ochreous liyaliue, semitransi)arent ; costa narrowly fuscous ; basal and 

 subbasal lines angulated in the middle, formed of aggregations of blackish atoms; 

 central line fuscous, slender, angulated below the costa and approximated in its lower 

 part to the subbasal line ; a submarginal twice-bent fascia, which is greyish below 

 the costa and black in the middle and above the inner margin, traversed down the 

 centre by the pale exterior line and cut by the paler median nervules ; a grey marginal 

 shade, separated from the submarginal iascia by a submarginal line consisting of pale 

 interrupted spots, that at the apex being much the largest ; fringes pale ochreous, 

 chequered with dark at the ends of the veins. 



Hlndivings : with a narrower, denticulate, dark-edged, submarginal curved fascia, 

 and a greyish tinge before the dark basal line of the fringes; discal spots ochreous, 

 thickened. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous. I'nderside like upper. 



Expan.se of wings : 20 mm. 



One ? from Novo P'riborgo. 



Amaurinia (iuen., Pkal., i., p. 385. 



Guen^e's genus Arrumrinia is a great mixture. His first two species from 

 Ceylon and Borneo are true Geometrinae, and may be removed at once. Of his three 

 South American species, he knew the S of one only, hyperythrana. Of the other 

 two, neutraria and suhviolaria, he had only S ? . Subvlolaria is a true Sterrhid, 

 but the antennae of the <? are ciliated only, the ciliations being long and fine, while 

 in the ? they are quite short, and the term pubescent will apply to them. Hypery- 

 thrana (and, I believe, neutraria, which is evidently closely allied) is an Asthenid, 

 with pectinated antennae in the S and very short palpi in both sexes. To these 

 two species, along with olivacea Feld. (described as an lodis?), the generic term 

 Amaurinia must be restricted, and the genus placed in the Astheninae. 



StBi-.\MiLV ASTHEMXAE. 

 Amphibatodes gen. nov. 



Foreinngs : elongate ; co.sta strongly convex at base, then nearly straight ; ai)ex 

 rounded ; hindmargin cm^ved, very oblicjue. 



Hindivinga : with hindmargin rounded, subcrenulate. 



Palpi upcurved in front efface; antennae f?) filiform ; hind tibi;e of ? with two 

 spurs; tongue present. 



Xeuration : forewings, cell not half as long as wing, broad; first median just 

 beyond half, second shortly before, third from close to, end of cell ; radials as usual ; 

 fifth and common stem of the first four subcostals from apex of areole. Hindwings 

 with costal anastomosing with subcostal for two-thirds of cell; discocellular angu- 

 lated: two subco.stals and last two medians on a short stem. 



Type : Amphihatodes unilineata W'arr. 



It seems impossible to locate this species in any existing genus; at the same 

 time it is to be regretted that the only exanijile is a ? , and of unknown origin. 

 Superficially it reminds one a little of Canibogia.
