DICHOMERIS, Hiib. 

 Having now revised the species of the Dkliomeris and Tricliotaplie 

 group on the basis of a primary distinction by the presence or 

 absence of the cubital pecten of hindwingg, I find that it makes 

 possible a more accurate subdivision of genera by characters of 

 neuration and palpal structure which have been disregai'ded, thus 

 clarifying these heterogenous groups, and disclosing a number of 

 genera which seem to be truly natural and are characterised briefly 

 below ; full lists of the species will appear in my account of the 

 family in the " Genera Insectorum " now in course of preparation. 

 Dkhomerls (still a large genus = Rhinos! a, Oxi/belia, Anorthosia, 

 Toania, Carna, lihohonda, Sagaritis, Euryzancla, Euriisara, Macro- 

 zancla) has palpi second joint tufted at apex, terminal as long or 

 longer ; fotewings 7 to costa ; hindwings with cubital pecten. 

 Eu7')/sara Turn, is stated by its author to have 9 of forewings out 

 of 7, but (according to an example of the type kindly sent me b)' 

 Dr. Turner) this is an error, 9 being closely approximated to 7 on 

 its basal half but not actually stalked. 



Dichomeris mesoglena, n. sp. 



5 . 19 mm. Head grey, collar and thorax grey mixed ochreous. 

 (Palpi missing.) Forewings elongate, apex obtuse-pointed, terinen 

 somewhat sinuate, oblique; yellow-ochreous, sprinkled light bluish- 

 grey, tending to form irregular strigulation ; base of costa dark 

 bluish-fuscous, oblique blackish costal strigula> from this to |, 

 tipped blue-grey ; a small round blackish spot in middle of disc ; a 

 dark fuscous terminal fascia, very narrow at apex and toriius, 

 remainder triangularly dilated, angle connected by a light blue-grey 

 mark with costa at -i : cilia dark fuscous, on costa yellow-ochreous. 

 Hindwings dark grey ; cilia grey.

(S . 10-11 mm. Head, thorax light brownish-ochreous partially 

 tinged grey. Palpi second joint brownish irrorated dark grey, 

 apical edge whitish, hairs above expansible or depressible into a 

 long tuft enveloping terminal joint, which is whitish, anterior 

 edge dark fuscous. Forewings elongate, termen slightlj- rounded, 

 oblique; ochreous sprinkled dark fuscous; costa irrorated dark
