whitish, with some scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales; 

 a broad costal streak of fuscous irroration from base ter- 

 minated by an oblique spöt of dark fuscous irroration at V^, 

 beyond apex of this a spöt of dark fuscous irroration cross- 

 ing fold: similar small spöts on dorsum at base and V^; 

 plical and first discal stigmata represented by cloiidy spöts 

 of fuscous and dark fuscous irroration, plical rather posterior, 

 second discal at ^r,, distinct, dark fuscous, between discal 

 stigmata two short dashes of fuscous and dark fuscous ir- 

 roration; terminal area suffusedly sprinkled witb fuscous: 

 cilia whitish, base dotted with dark fuscous irroration, Hind-

 nearest xerophylla. Type Mus. Stockholm. 



Semocharista n. g. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli 

 posterior; tongue developed. Antennae Vs, basal joint elon- 

 gate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 

 joint with appressed scales, terminal joint nearly as long as 

 second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, 

 appressed to tongue. Forewings with 1 b furcate, 2 and 3 

 stalked from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, Il from 

 middle. Hindwings över 1, trapezoidal-ovate, termen slightly 

 sinuate, cilia ^s; 3 and 4 connate, 5 parallel, 6 absent, 7 to 

 apex, 8 anastomosing with central point of upper margin 

 of cell.
