Palpi .^Iiort, sloiulcr ; front .■smooth; anteinue .simple, ciliate fasci- 

 cled ; liiiul tihiie of % without spurs, long, lined the whole length 

 with a fringe of long hairs, and with a long thick pencil of hairs; 

 middle til)i;e al.<o fringed with long hairs; fore til)ia' very long, con- 

 siderably longer than femora, very slender, clo.sely scaled ; tarsi 

 almost aborted on hind legs, and apjjarently entirely so on middle 

 legs; fore wings \'l veins, (5 separate, 10 on 9, 11 from cell, one 

 accessory cell ; hind wings 8 veins, (i and 7 stemmed. 



Remarkable for the peculiar fringing of the middle and hind 

 tibiic in % , and in this unitpie so far as I know. 

 Species. — P. mtntiula Hulst, n. sp. 



P. iniranda n. sp. — P^xpands 24 mm. Palpi oclier fuscous, black at tip; 

 front black ; summit between antennae, thorax and abdomen ba.sally light ocher, 

 the abdomen becoming ocher fuscous posteriorly ; fore wings whitish ocher 

 sprinkled with fuscous scales, hut not so plentifully on middle field ; a faint sinu- 

 ous basal line ; a broad fu.scous line passing just beyond discal spot, wavy sinuate ; 

 an outer fuscous line indistinctly dentate, subparallel with outer margin ; a sub- 

 marginal fuscous clouding divided by a lighter colored space; marginal line of 

 bla(^k dots ; hind wings light ocher with fuscous atoms, extreme base fuscous, and 

 the outer lines and shadings of the fore wings continued ; a marginal line of 

 black points; the marginal dots are in all wings in the fringes just at end of 

 veins : hind wings slightly sinused in below anterior angle on outer margin fuim 

 veins 7 to ~t ; below as above, but fainter. Legs with fringings bright oclier, the 

 pencil of the hind wings iieing blackish basally, becoming ocher at ends.

Palpi moderately long, subascending ; front rounded, short .scaled ; 

 antenna' evenly ciliated with hairs in S ; a pointed projection inside 

 on summit of basal ineud)er in Z ; between the anteunse a smooth 

 flattened .scale pad overhanging front ; hind tibiie with two pairs of 

 spurs in both sexes; fore wings without accessory cell, 12 veins, 6 

 sei)arate, 10 from 9, 11 from cell ; hind wings 8 veins, () and 7 long 

 stemmed. 



A very peculiar, and so far as I know, uni(pu' genus, having what 

 seem to be leanings towards the Tineidie. The overhanging scale 

 tuft on summit of head is very rarely found, Phi/ufjraala being the 

 only genus I know of, and this is, with some doubt, a Geometer. 

 The projection on base of antennje is so far as I know uni(|uc among
