250 ON SOME LEPIDOPTERA FROM THE FLY RIVER, 



BOARMIAD^l. 



Ateloptila, n. g. 



Palpi moderate, ascending, basal joint rough-haired, second joint 

 densely scaled beneath, laterally compressed, terminal joint minute, 

 obtuse. Antenna? f, in £ strongly bipectinated, apical fourth 

 simple. Thorax and femora hairy beneath. Anal tuft large, 

 spreading. Posterior tibia? in £ dilated, basal half clothed on 

 inner side with a long dense tuft of hairs, spurs short, tarsi short, 

 about half tibiae. Forewings without perceptible basal impression 

 in £ ; veins 3 and 4 from near together, 6 from near 9, 7 and 8 

 out of 9, 10 and 11 stalked, 12 connected with 11 at origin from 

 10 by a short bar. Hind wings with veins 3 and 4 from near 

 together, 5 absent, 6 and 7 from near together, 8 approximated to 

 7 on anterior half of cell. 



Allied to Boarmia, but differing in the neuration, the absence of 

 the basal impression in the forewings, and the tufted posterior 

 tibia?. 



14. Atel. j^samathopa, n. sp. 



£. 54 mm. Head, antenna?, thorax, and abdomen whitish- 

 ochreous, brownish-tinged, sprinkled with fuscous ; face and palpi 

 dark brown ; legs light greyish, anterior pair fuscous. Forewings 

 moderate, costa hardly arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded, 

 waved ; whitish-ochreous, brownish-tinged, irrorated with fuscous ; 

 a blackish oblique strigula on costa at ^, a dot in disc at \, and a 

 very oblique strigula from inner margin near base, representing 

 first line ; a straight shadowy line from middle of costa to \ of 

 inner margin, irregularly marked with dark fuscous towards costa 

 and inner margin and on a small median spot ; second line 

 represented by an irregularly sinuate series of about eight 

 blackish marks, indicating apices of dentations, from § of costa to 

 middle of inner margin ; an indistinct fuscous dentate subterminal 

 shade, midway between second line and hindmargin, parallel to 

 hindmargin, interrupted at \ from costa and in middle ; space 

 between this and second line more brownish-tinged ; a row of very
