Erebochlora gen. nov. 



Closely allied to Priapodes Warr., but with .simply ro.strate palpi, instead of the 

 abnormally prolonged ones that are the distinguishing characteristic of that genus. 

 Otherwise the types of the two genera are superficially wondenullv alike. 



Type : Erebochlora tesserulata Feld. (Spargania). 



Hammaptera semiobliterata sp. no\-. 



Foreimngs : whitish ochreous, sometimes pink-tinged ; extreme liase pale, edged 

 with a curved dark brown fascia ; inner edge of central fascia formed by an irregular 

 bent brown fascia; space between it and basal patch sometimes paler, sometimes as 

 dark as tlie two fasciae themsehes ; outer edge of central fascia formed of three lines, 

 which produce a dark fascia on the costa only, the pale space of the interior of the 

 central fascia interrupting it, and extending to the hindmargin ; the exterior edge 

 of the central fascia forms a blunt projection between the second and third medians ; 

 submarginal Hue pale, preceded by a red-brown band, broadest on the costa, and 

 followed by a fuscous shade ; all alike are interrupted in the middle and reapjicar 

 again above the anal angle ; cell-spot dark, linear ; fringe mainly dark fuscous. 



Hindwings: of ? wholly smoky fuscous ; of cJ tinged in parts with paler, aud 

 with paler chequered fringes.

 lines forming the outer edge of the central fascia, and the margin, black; the margin 

 is broadly interrupted by the pale ground-colour in the middle, and contains a small 

 pale spot at the apex ; inner margin of forewings whitish. Hindwings with four 

 curved dark lines, two in the centre and two towards the hindmargin.

Forewings: with costa graduallv curved from base to apex ; apex lilunt ; hin<l- 

 margin obliquely curved ; anal angle rounded. 



Hindwings: with irregular outline ; anal angle hardly indicated; inner angle 

 bluntly rounded; hindmargin with a prominent projection in the middle, as in 

 iSemiothisa, but not so precisely defined. 



Antennae of ? simple, and of tj pubescent ; ftice rounded, slightly projecting; 

 palpi rostriform, the last joint drooping ; inner margin of forewings in c? with a
