31. Arotria, n.g. 



Antennae 4, in (J ^fasciculate-ciliated (3), basal joint moderate, 

 with slight pecten. Labial palpi very long, ascending, second 

 joint extremely long, beneath with appressed scales, above with 

 long projecting scales diminishing gradually to apex, terminal 

 joint less than half second, slender, acute. Forewings : 2 and 3 

 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. Hind wings 1, trapezoidal, 

 termen sinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated 

 to 4, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This distinct genus is so much specialised that its immediate 

 affinity is doubtful; but it is theoretically derivable as an extreme 

 form from Bjyhelictis. Imago with forewings elongate. 



203. A. iophaea, n.sp.

 cilia brownish irrorated with whitish, base whitish-ochreous.
