£ of costa to middle of inner margin, obsolete above, indented 

 inwards below middle ; a small round white spot, margined with 

 dark fuscous, beneath costa at ^ ; a larger suboval similar spot 

 beneath middle of costa, margined beneath by a subquadrate 

 ochreous-brown spot reaching middle of disc, and including a white 

 dot in its lower area ; second line slender, ochreous-brown, irregu- 

 larly dentate, from J of costa to § of inner margin, forming a small 

 qradrate projection posteriorly in middle, and indented rather 

 more sharply beneath costal blotch ; cilia whitish-ochreous, brassy- 

 tinged, with an obscure interrupted fuscous line. Hindwings with 

 colour, second line, and cilia as in forewings ; an ochreous-brown 

 transverse linear discal spot at ? ; a fine indistinct ochreous-brown

One specimen. 



Nosophora, Ld, 



Face vertical, forehead with a short projection, crown hollowed 

 into a flat groove ; ocelli present ; tongue well-developed. Antennae 

 f, in g evenly ciliated (1), basal joint much thickened with dense 

 scales. Labial palpi rather long, recurved, second joint beneath 

 with a long very dense obliquely projecting tuft of scales which 

 rise vertically upwards, its apex curved inwards, terminal joint 

 moderate, cylindrical, obtuse. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform. 

 Thorax with patagia in £ very elongate. Abdomen in £ with 

 anal segment elongate, tuft small, valves retracted. Posterior 

 tibiae in £ densely tufted on apical half above w r ith long hairs, 

 outer spurs half inner, posterior tarsi densely tufted with hairs 

 above. Forewings with veins 8 and 9 stalked, 10 closely approx- 

 imated to 9, 11 very oblique. Hindwings as broad as forewings; 

 veins 3, 4, and 5 closely approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near 

 origin, anastomosing with 8 to near middle. 



The position of this genus is next to Omiodes.
