Aenictes gen. nov. 



Foreiuini/8 : with costa gently cmn'ed ; apex blunt, rectangulm- ; hindmargin 

 vertical in upper half, oblique in lower ; a blunt but strongly marked elbow just 

 below the third median uervule; anal angle distinct. 



Hindwings : with a decided angulation at end of third median nervnle, with the 

 hindmargin on either side straiglit. 



P'orewings with a large fovea. Antennae of <S simple ; forehead |)roduced below ; 

 palpi porrect, short ; hind tibiae of 6 with four spurs. 



Neuration: cell half as long as wing. Forewings with first median at two-thirds, 

 second and third together from lower end of cell; radials as usual; second, third, 

 and fourth subcostal nervules on common stem, fii'st and fifth free. Hindwings with 

 costal a]>proximatpd to subcostal shortly near base; first subcostal before end of cell ; 

 first median half-way ; no radial. 



Type : Aenictes nyparia Wlk. (Xematocampa). 



Anisoperas gen. nov. 



Forewings : with costa all but straight, with a small shoulder at base ; apex 

 distinct, slightly produced ; hindmargin witli a distinct angulation in the middle, at 

 the end of the third median, somewhat concave above, but straight below, without 

 crenulations. 



Hindimnigs : with hindmargin distinctly crenulated, and with a small but dis- 

 tinct angulation in the middle. 



Palpi short, stout, upcurved ; terminal joint minute. Antennae of <S minutely 

 serrate and bristh', of ? filiform ; tongue present. IS'euration normal. 



Type : Anisoperas atropuiictaria Wlk. (Azelina). 



The genus is akin to Tetragonodes Guen., but the c? antennae and the ontline.s 

 of the wings are quite diff'erent. 



Asestra nom. nov. 



Pseiidosestni Butler, Tr. E. S., 188i!, p. MSO. 



Butler, on introducing this genus, said that it was verj' near to Sesfra Wlk. 

 from New Zealand, and after giving Lozograinma ohhisarla (obtusata) Wlk. as its 

 type, went on to describe his new species bella from Chili. Now obtusaria Wlk., 

 = hnineravia Wlk. from New Zealand, is as much a Sestra aaflexata \Mk., = fusi- 

 plagiaia Wlk., the type of the genus. It seems inevitable, therefore, that Pseudo- 

 sestra Butler, as a generic term, must sink. For the species bella which lUitler 

 referred to it I jiropose the new generic name Asestra. 



Azelina bicolor sp. nov. 

 Foreimngs : with the basal two-thirds deep chestnut-brown ; the marginal one- 

 third reddish cinereous; first line deeper brown, from costa at one-fourth, at first 

 oblique, forms first an acute projection, then a bluntly rounded one, to the inner 

 margin at one-third ; on the costa it is preceded by some paler scales ; second line, 

 edged internally with deeper brown, outwardly with paler, forms a very shallow sinus 

 from costa to third median, thence a deeper one to the submedian fold, and again a 

 shallow one to inner margin ; the projection on the submedian fold is more rounded 

 than that on the third median ; discal mark hyaline, narrow, angulated ; marginal
