>/ PSEUDOCRATES, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts loosely raised; ocelli small, 

 posterior; tongue developed. Antennae |, in c? serrulate, simple, 

 basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, 

 recurved, second joint thickened with appressed scales, loose beneath 

 towards apex, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. 

 Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, ap[)ressed to tongue. Posterior 

 tibiae rough-haired above. Forewings with 1 b furcate, 2 from 

 near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 9 connate with 7, 11 from 

 middle. Hindwings 1, pointed-trapezoidal, termen slightly sinuate, 

 cilia 1|; 4 absent, 3 and 5 connate or short-stalked, 6 and 7 stalked. 



Type antisphena Meyr. Allied to Psammoris, which it resembles 

 superficially and in neuration of hindwings, but differs considerably 

 in neuration of forew ings ; analogy here suggests that in Psammoris 

 vein 7 is absent, 8 and 9 stalked, rather than as originally stated. 



Pseudocrates antisphena, n. sp. 

 cJ . 13 mm. Head fuscous-whitish. Palpi whitish, second
