cell; fifth leaving at about one-fourth, third and fourth separating at one-half; fir^*t 

 and second apjiarently free; second approaching the stem of the other three- 

 llindwings, costal, .strongly formed, is curved downwards, closel}- approximated to 

 subcostal for half the length of cell, away from the costa towards the middle of the 

 v.ing ; costal then curves right away into apex ; first subcostal starts from before the 

 end of cell, which is still more inclined inwards ; second subcostal from angle of celh 

 reaching hindmargin in its middle, the first reaching it half-way between the second 

 and the costal, so that the three costal veins together occupy fully half the wing ; 

 discocellular straight ; no radial. Both wings have the inner margin so wrapped 

 round that the veins cannot be distinguished; the fold is probably natural, as in the 

 .\frican genus Paraptychodes Warr. 

 Tyiie : Diptychia geometrina Feld.

 Blepharoctenucha gen. nov. 



Forewings: with costa straight, curved only just before ape.x ; hindmargin very 

 oblique, bent at one-third below apex. 



Hinchvings ; with hindmargin only slightly- curved, broadly creuulate. 



Forehead hairy, prominent ; tongue present ; antennae of <? with shaft thickened, 

 bidentate, each tooth with a fascicle of cilia; palpi short, thick, terminal joint 

 invisible. 



Like Medasina Moore, but first subcostal of forewings from cell, not out of costal.

 The species may be recognised by the upstanding hairs which are si)arselv 

 scattered over the whole surface of the hindwings. Mr. ^Moore was wrong in making 

 Drury's insect identical with the Indian E. pardicelata of Walker. Hence, 1 

 imagine, tlie omission of the species by Druce. 



Ectropidia gen. nov. 



Forewings: elongate, narrow; costa straight for three-fourths, then elbowed and 

 curved; apex blunt and rectangular; hindmargin curved, in its lower half very 

 oblique ; anal angle obtuse.
