TINEIDyE. 255 



Neav Guinea, St. Aignan I. (Meek) ; one specimen. I do not 

 possess an example of the t3pical species maadata, which 1 described 

 from Tonga and Fiji, but have drawings of the structure and 

 markings which I made myself, and am satisfied that the present 

 species is congeneric and distinct, allhuiigli Ihe cliaracteristic labial 

 palpi are lost, and 1 judge that I originally mistook a maxillary 

 palpus for the tongue ; the structural characters are sufficient for 

 identification. The cell of hindwings is longer than half the wing 

 in macnlata, shorter in the present species, and the spots of 

 forewings are more numerous in maculata, especially along costa. 

 The genus is referable to the Tinyichr, and most allied to Archycda. 



PSEPHOCRITA, n. g. 



Head shortly rough-haired ; ocelli small, posterior ; tongue 

 absent. Antenua3 h, i» 6 simple, joints numerous, closely set, 

 basal joint moderate, scaled, without pecten. Labial palpi moderate

 very obliquely rounded ; light grey, some scattered black scales 

 towards apex ; a small black spot on costa before i, a round black 

 spot in disc rather beyond this, representing first discal stigma, 

 and two or three black scales representing second : cilia light grey. 

 Hindwings and cilia light grey. 



Frencu Guiana, 11. Maroni, St. Jean ; two specimens. 



HARMOTONA, n. g.

 above. Forewings 2 from angle, 7 absent, 11 from before middle. 

 Hindwings 3, lanceolate, cilia 1| ; tranverse vein absent betw^ecn 

 3 and 5, 4 absent, 5 and 6 stalked, 7 nearly parallel.
