A REVISION OF THE DEETOU) MoTHH SMITH. 109 



The type in the Britisli .Aluseiim represeiits ;i species I had not pre- 

 viously seen, iuul is not represented in uny coUection before nie. 



Mr. Grote places it between />'. ((halincalis and B. achatinaU.s (made- 

 /acted is). 



Genus LOMANALTES, (iiote. 

 1873. (;rot«', I'.iill. Huir. Soc. Niit. Sci., I, KJ. 



Head distinct, even somewhat prominent. Eyes large, naked, globose, 

 prominent. Front quite narrow, with a pointed interantennal tuft. 

 Ocelli distinct, situated half. \ ay between the base of the antenme and 

 the ])()sterior limit of the head. Pal[)i long, straight in the female, a 

 little oblique in the male, ecjualing in length the head aiid thorax com- 

 bined in the former, and only a little shorter in the latter. Antenme 

 simple in both sexes, males with small lateral ciliations. Tliorax small, 

 abdomen slight, cylindrical, more conic in the male, cjiualing or slightly 

 exceeding the ana! angle of the secondaries, with small truncate dorsal 

 tufts. Legs long, moderately stout, closely scah'd in both sexes, with- 

 out special moditication in the male. Primaries pointed, the apex 

 acute, outer margin very oblique and only a little curved, costa a little 

 depressed centrally. 



This genus is very doubtfully distinct from liomoloclta^ differing 

 really only in the wing form. The palpal character relied on by Mr. 

 Grote is not only variable in the specimens, but is actually paralleled 

 in Bonioloeha. Yet the insect does convey a somewhat distinctive 

 imiiression, and I have therefore retained the genus, the more readily 

 as it seems to be somewhat intermediate between Bomolocha and 

 Hypena. The single species has essentially the markings of B. decep- 

 talis.

Ground (;olor a pearly gray, with a more or less marked brown suf 

 fusion, deepest and most marked in the male. Jlead and thorax con- 

 colorous. Abdomen paler, fuscous gray or yellowish, the edges of the 

 segments mirrowly pale marked. Primaries with the space beyond the 

 transverse posterior line more or less bluish gray, interru])ted by a dark 

 shade i)receding the subterminal line and another which extends along 

 the outer margin, leaving a i)ale apical space. TransvcM-se anterior line 

 rusty yeIlo\\ , the edges a little darker, nearly upright, but making a 

 somewhat abrupt outward bend on the internal vein. Transverse pos- 

 terior line yellowish, with a rusty internal edging and a following <lusky 

 shade line which is often obsolete; in course it is very even, inwardly 

 oblique, with a small, obtuse outward beml on the median vein, w liirh 

 is sometimes almost obsolete. Subterminal line pale, markt'd by a jne- 

 ceding dusky shade, somewhat outcurved in the central part of its
