( 1^« ) 



Neuration : forewings, cell barely one-third as long as wing ; discocellular with 

 lower arm very oblique ; first median iiervule from three-fourths of the cell ; second 

 just before, third from, the end of cell, which is deeply wedge-sliaped ; lower radial 

 from middle, upper from upper end of the discocellular; as far as can be seen 

 (without denudation of the type) all five subcostals on a common stem. Hindwings 

 with costal widely divergent from subcostal. 



Type : Anisomelia oriolata Feld. (Eratema).

 Ochroplutodes gen. now 



Closelv allied to Plutodes Gueu. and Arehiplutodes Warr., the antennae being 

 unipectinate ; hiudmargin of forewings sinuate, incurved in the upper half, and 

 bowed in the lower; hindwings with hindmargin irregular and bluntly elbowed above 

 the middle ; wings with no metallic markings, ochreous with fuscous transverse 

 striae, as in Fidonia. 



Type : Ochroplutodes sordida, \\<m. 



Ochroplutodes sordida sp. nov. 



Forewi'tijs: pale straw-culour, with the basal and marginal regions dull greyish 

 fuscous, consi-sting of an agglomeration of transverse striae, through which the ground- 

 colour is in parts discernible, especially at the anal angle ; liasal area angulated below 

 the costa on its outer edge; marginal area edged internally with a straight oblique 

 line, parallel to hindmargin ; central area with very few fuscous striae, the two lines 

 indicated by jiale spaces without any striae at all. 



Hindwings : with the whole surface more or less striated with fuscous, witli a paler 

 curved central line or space, corresponding to the exterior pale space on the fore- 

 wings, and the hindmargin paler, smeared with yellowish, and with three or four 

 blackish marginal dots towards the apex. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous. Underside the same, but duller and 

 paler. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm.

Tvpe : C'abira ochropurjjuraria H.S. 



The name C'abira was proposed by Sodofifsky, Bull. Mosc, 1837, \-i., p. 17, in the 

 place of Gdiera Treitschke, 1825, on the ground that this was too near Caberea 

 Lamarx, used in 1816 for a genus of Polyzoa. The name Gabera of Treitschke for 

 the well-known I'^uropean species which were referred to it was unnecessary, being 

 anticipated by Hiibner's lleilinia. For the South American insect of H.S., which I 

 regard as not congeneric with the old-world species of Deilinia, I propose to emjiloy 

 SodofFsky's spelling Cabira, as used for this species by H.S. himself
