front with a prominent wart-like conical tubercle and a slight infra-clypeal 

 plate ; primaries with well rounded outer margin, vein R^ from middle of 

 cell, R2 from upper angle of aréole, R3 and R^ on long stalk, from apex of 

 aréole with R5, Mi from below upper angle of cell, Mg and M3 close 

 together from above lower angle of cell, Cu^ from lower angle, CU2 from 

 beyond centre of cell. Secondaries with Sc. joined to cell at base, R 

 and Ml slightly stalked, Mg curved downwards at base from well above 

 lower angle of cell, M3 and Cui connate from lower angle, CU2 from beyond 

 centre of cell. 



The presence of a well developed vein Mg on secondaries would 

 place the genus in the family Erastrianœ of Hampson. Apparently its 

 position would be somewhere near Exyra Grt. The frontal structure and 

 the abdominal tuft of the $ , similar to that found in Lagoa and certain 

 Liparid species, render the genus easily recognizable. 



H. groteUiforviis, sp. no v. 



Palpi blackish ; head, thorax and ])rimaries white ; abdomen white 

 with the segmental divisions banded with black ; maculation of primaries 

 much as in certain Grotella species; a black dot on costa at base; a 

 transverse subbasal band of three black dots, one on costa, one on inner 

 margin and the middle one equidistant from both ; a transverse median 

 band of 5 black dots slightly curved inward at costa consisting of a dot on 

 costa, two vertically placed dots at end of cell, a dot below vein 2 and 

 another on inner margin ; fringes white, sligh!ly tipped with black in 

 costal portion ; secondaries smoky, paler basally, with faint trace of a dark 

 antemedial line ; fringes white. Beneath primaries dark smoky brown 

 with white fringes, secondaries white with discal dot and dot about middle 

 of costa. Expanse, 22 mm.

Head, front and palpi dark purple-brown, tegul?e, thorax and abdomen 

 cream-coloured ; primaries with basal third as far as inner margin of 

 orbicular cream-coloured, remainder of wing deep purple-brown, shaded 

 broadly at anal angle with lighter shades ; basal line geminate, gray-green, 

 extendiug half across wing ; t. a. line geminate, gray-green, the lines 

 broader at costa, angled inwardly in the cell, incurved on submedian 

 fold ; orbicular and reniform small, oval, outlined with black and filled 

 with blue-black scales, the former usually entirely within the dark area of
