214 EXOTIC MICKOLEPIDOPTKRA. 



pi'omiiii'iiLt! ■with roughly pajjillate suiiaco ; tliis curious and 

 abnormal structure is not noticed by Dr. Turner in his description. 

 I do not think, however, that the species need at present be generically 

 separated from BorJchansenia on that account. 



ARCHISOPHA, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales ; ocelli small, posterior ; tongue 

 developed. Antennae |, in c? serrulate, moderately ciliated, basal 

 joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, 

 smooth-scaled, teiminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. 

 Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior 

 tibia) clothed with hairs above. Forewings 1 b furcate, 2 from 

 near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hind- 

 wings 1, elongate-ovate, cilia i : 3 and 4 connate or short-stalked, 

 5-7 parallel, a hyaline patch beneath cell towards base. 



Allied to Allota/anta , to which it may be ancestral. 



Archisopha foliosa, n. sp.

 very obliquely rounded ; light ochreous ; markings dark fuscous ; 

 a very irregular fascia near base ; small spots on costa and fold 

 near beyond this ; small spots repi'esenting stigmata, plical slightly 

 beyond first discal, second discal transverse, more or less irregular 

 clouding in disc between and around these, tending to obscure 

 them, costal and dorsal median areas more or less suffused dark 

 fuscous, especially in (S , ^ large very irregular patclr occupying 

 most of postei'ior area, involving second discal stigma, but leaving 

 a sutfused streak of groundcolour round apex and upper part of 

 termen : cilia pale ochreous, base more or less spotted grey, a grey
