Discoloxia geu. nov. 



Foreivings : with costa very gradiuilly curved; a]iex rectangular; hindmargin 

 vertical, only slightly curved, subcrenulate. 



Hindivings : rounded, subcrenulate. 



Forehead somewhat protuberant ; [jalpi very short, not attaining the front of 

 face ; tongue weak; antennae of c? subserrate, pubescent. Neuration normal ; but the 

 discocellular in both wings is remarkable for its extreme obliqueness. 



Type : Discoloxia obliquisir/na Moore (Cidaria). 



Discoloxia megaspilata sp. no\ . 



Foreivings : whitisli, dusted with greyish fuscous, and with numerous dark grey 

 undulating lines, which are most distinct towards the costa; four of these can be 

 detected at about one-third, oblique from the costa, then vertical, slightly sinuous and 

 dentated; the costal arm of the fourth forms a line with the oblique black linear 

 discal mark; outer edge of central fascia geminated, the costal arm only distinct, 

 followed by a further series of four undulating and dentate lines; the fuscous grey 

 dusting is thickest towards the hindmargin, which has a row of thick black dashes 

 at the base of the fringe. 



Hindivings : whitish, with traces of several undulating grey lines towards the 

 hindmargin, which are most distinct on the inner margin : a row of black dashes 

 along the hindmargin, as in forewings. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen dark grey. Underside dull grey with indistinct 

 markings. 



Expanse of wings : 24 to 26 mm. 



Both sexes from Japan. 



It seems to be near to V. semistrigala Chr., but there is no black cell-spot in 

 the hindwings, as in that species. 



Subfamily TEICHOPTEEYGINAE. 

 Aloba gen. nov. 



Foreivings: broadly triangular ; costa straight ; apex blunt ; hindmargin liowed. 

 not very oblique. 



Hindvmigs : of ? rounded, with round hindmargin ; of J narrow, elongated, 

 subtriangular, without any lobe. 



Palpi very short ; forehead rounded ; antennae of ? simple, filiform ; of J 

 thickened and pubescent. 



Neuration: of ? usual; of S, hindwing, costal unconnected witli subcostal; 

 cell exceedingly short, hardly visible; subcostal branches on long common stem; 

 radial from centre of discocellular; median nervules only two; submedian and 

 internal absent. 



Type : Aloba cinerea Bart.-Calw 



Carige sinuosa sp. nov. 



Forewings: wood-brown, thickly covered with short transverse fuscous and 

 blackish strigae, the blackish atoms being most prominent and dense towards the 

 anal angle; lines black edged with ferruginous, sinuous; the first at one-third, twice 

 curved ; the second at two-thirds, running at first inwards from the costa, then 

 forming a large outward curve to near inner margin, before which it is again bent.
