256 EXOTIC MICROLKPIDOPTKRA. 



Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderatel)' arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded; light grey, partially tinged 

 Avhitish, towards ai>ox tinged brownish; markings brown, more or 

 less stronglj- edged black posteriorly ; a transverse spot on costa 

 near base ; three slender transverse fasciie, first at ^, nearly direct, 

 second slightly beyond middle, somewhat oblique, third at i, 

 slightly curved ; a transverse fascial e streak from costa at | reaching 

 half across wing: cilia pale grey, sprinkled blackish, Hindwinga 

 grey ; cilia light grey. 



CooRO, Dibidi, 3500 feet, October (Xewcome) ; one specimen. 



J' TYPHOGENES, n. g. 



Head rough on crown, face with appressed scales ; ocelli posterior ; 

 tongue absent. Antennae f, basal joint moderately long, with 

 pecten. Labial palpi very short, scaled, pointed, drooping, two or 

 thrfto very short bristles at apex of second joint. Maxillary palpi 

 obsolete. Posterior tibise smooth-scaled. Forewings 1 6 single, 



2 from towards angle, 3 from angle, 7 absent, 8-10 somewhat 

 approximated, 11 from before middle, Hindwiugs |, ovate-lanceo- 

 late, cilia over 1 ; 2 and 3 approximated at base, cell open between 



3 and 5, 4 absent, 5-7 tolerably parallel. 



Type psapliarota Meyr., from India, originally referred to the 

 African genus EpciUura, but I now perceive this to be erroneous, 

 though the structure is teclmically similar. Its real relationships 

 are very doubtful ; it recalls in some respects the Australian 

 Paraplnjllis (which is itself of very dubious position, but referred 

 at present to the PhUellidce), but also shows considerable differences 

 therefrom; in both genera the head is unusually small. 



"^ PROSPLOCAMIS, n, g. 



Head with appressed liairs, sidetufts loosely raised; ocelli pos- 

 terior ; tongue absent. Antennte .|, joints closely set, basal joint 

 short, without pecten. Labial palpi moderate, curved, subascending, 

 with appressed scales, terminal joint somewhat shorter than second, 

 pointed. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Forewings 2 from angle, 7 to 

 apex, 11 from before middle. Hindwiugs 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 

 nearly 1 ; 2-4 parallel, 5 and rather approximated towards base, 

 7 parallel. 



Type npracta Meyr., from Burma, erroneously placed in Melasiaa, 

 though the distinguishing characters of the head and palpi were 

 correctly noted ; the true aihnity would seem to be probably with 

 Pachi/p>saltis. 



PARAMERISTIS, n. g. 



Head shortly rough-scaled ; tongue obsolete. Antennae |, in J 

 rather strongly biciliated, basal joint moderate. Labial .])alpi 

 moderately long, curved, ascending, second joint tufted with long 

 dense rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint short, roughly
