origin, anastomosing with 8 to middle : in S with inner margin thickened and longi- 

 tudinally folded to form a deep pocket-like groove beneath, containing a long pencil 

 of fine hairs, and with a rounded thickened lamellar pad from middle of vein la 

 above, appi-essed to marginal pocket, and causing space between to form a groove, 

 which is clothed with loose hairs. 



A very distinct genus, probably most allied to JSfepJiopteryx. 



ThTLAC. PATJEOSEMA, 71. sp. 



S . 22 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax light greyish-fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish, lateral apical tufts black. Legs whitish, anterior pair suffused with grey. 

 Fore-wings elongate, posteriorly considerably dilated, costa posteriorly moderately 

 arched, apex obtuse, hind-margin somewhat oblique, straight above, rounded be- 

 neath ; light greyish-fuscous ; veins and costa posteriorly suffusely darker grey ; a 

 cloudy dark grey irregular median streak from base, terminating in a small spot at 

 one-third ; some white scales, tending to form a cloudy transverse band, beyond 

 one-third ; a dark grey hind marginal line : cilia grey- whitish, with numerous grey 

 lines. Hind-wings whitish, semi-transparent, base quite hyaline ; a faint grey hind 

 marginal line, darkest round apex ; cilia whitish, with a faint grey line. 



An inconspicuous species ; I understand from Mr. Mathew that 

 this was probably the insect mentioned as bred from the seed-pods of 

 a Cassia. One specimen. 



CRAMBID^. 



Ehomene ? sp. — One specimen of a species perhaps distinct, 



but extremely similar to some European forms ; further specimens 

 would be required to justify its description. 



PTEEOPHOEIDiE. 



Teichoptiltjs compsochaees, Meyr, — Five specimens amongst 

 CJienopodium ; described in a paper recently communicated to the 

 Entomological Society ; endemic, so far as known. 



Agdistis tamaeicis, Z. — One specimen.

Seliothis peltigera in Yorkshire. — On September 16th I captured, at rest, 

 on the Sandhills at Kilnsea, on the Holderness coast, an exceedingly fine jET. pelti- 

 gera just out of the pupa. As the species is quite new to the County fauna, 

 perhaps you may consider the record worthy of insertion in your pages. The 

 identity of the specimen was kindly determined for me by my friend Mr. Geo. 

 T. Porritt.— Wm. Eagle Claeke, Leeds : Septemher 11 th, 1885.
