11. EUCATOPTUS, g. n. 

 (€Vk-d.TOTrTos=ea,sily seen.) 



Type, Eucatoptus penicillata, Wlsm. 



Antennce (f ), J very shortly ciliate ; without pecten. 



Maxillary palpi ver\ r short. 



Labial palpi recurved ; apical joint pointed, almost as long as 

 the second ; second joint somewhat flattened laterally, not roughly 

 clothed beneath. 



Haustellum well developed. 



Head and thorax smooth. 



Fore wings with the costa evenly arched ; apex depressed, bluntlv 

 pointed; fcermen oblique, tornus evenly rounded. Neuration : 12 

 veins, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 6 separate (6 sometimes out of 7, 

 e. g chaCybeichroa). 



Hind 

 pointed 



dorsum straight ; cilia 1| ; o* with long pencil of expansible hairs 

 from the base of the costa (extending almost the length of the 

 cell of the fore wings). Neuration : 8 veins ; 3, 4, and 5 remote, 

 almost parallel, 6 and 7 remote. 



Abdomen slender. 



Legs : hind tibiae thinly haired above. 



Closely allied to Aristotelia, Hb., from which it is distinguished 

 by the costal -hair-pencil of the J • 



ybeichroa). . 



wings hardly 1, elongate, trapezoidal ; apex produced, 

 ; termen emarginate beneath apex ; tornus angular, 



§ A. Fore wings, 7 and 8 stalked, 6 out of 7. Hind wings, 3 and 4 



separate. 



33. ElTCATOPTUS CHALYJBEICHROA, sp. n. 



Antennce: basal joint somewhat enlarged and flattened in the 

 3 ; whitish cinereous, very faintly annulated with two darker 

 bands towards the apex. Palpi : second joint as long as the 

 apical joint, somewhat roughly clothed ; dirty whitish, with two 

 fuscous spots on the second joint externally and two fuscous 

 annulations on the apical joint. Head and thorax dirty whitish, 

 speckled with cinereous. Fore wings brownish cinereous, with a 

 steely gloss throughout and some ferruginous scaling, especially 

 on the outer half; at the extreme base of the costa is a small dark 

 fuscous spot, narrowly connected with an oblique narrow broken 

 fascia of the same colour, extending outwards to the dorsum, 

 which it reaches at about one-fourth the wing-length; beyond 

 this is a minute black spot on the outer half of the fold, the 

 remainder of the wing to the apex being speckled with black scales, 

 some preceded by whitish; on the costa before the apex is an 

 elongate shining whitish spot, followed by black speckling an Mind 

 the base of the terminal cilia which partake of the wing-colour,
