very pale fawn. The primaries on the upper 

 side are fawn color, darker on the costa and 

 cell. There is a basal brown shade, and a 

 dark transverse median shade defined inwardly 

 by a pale curved line. There are two small 

 blackish dots, one above the other, beyond 

 the end of the cell, succeeded by a fine pale 

 curved submarginal line, which is clouded 

 internally on the costa beyond the cell and 

 above the inner margin by dark shades. On 

 the margin upon the interspaces there are 

 small narrow blackish lines of raised scales. 

 The fringes are pale fawn like the body of the 

 wing with their extremities tipped with dark 

 brown. The secondaries are uniformly dark 

 fuscous, except on the costal margin where 

 they are lighter. On the under side, both 

 wings are pale pinkish-gra}-, the middle area 

 of the primaries being clouded with fuscous. 

 There are no markings on the under side. 

 Expanse, 2'] mm. 



Deinopalpus, gen. nov. 



Allied to Anomis, but readily distinguished 

 from it by the enormous development of the 

 palpi, which are compressed; the first joint 

 long, the second a trifle shorter, erect, ascend- 

 ing in front of the head, the third joint very 

 long, laid back over the middle of the thorax 

 and abundantly clothed with long hairs 

 erected as a fan-like plume over the head. 

 The third pair of legs have the tibiae armed 

 with long double median and terminal spurs. 

 The antennae are simple. The neuration and 

 outline of the palpi are given in the accom- 

 panying cuts. Type D. Africana, Holland. 



29. D. Africana, sp. nov. $. Palpi, 

 thorax, and upper side of abdomen pale chest- 

 nut. Anal extremity of abdomen white. 

 Lower side of thorax and abdomen pinkish- 

 gray. First pair of legs dark brown, heavily 

 clothed with hair; second and third pair of 

 legs paler, the tarsi ringed with whitish. 

 The primaries on the upper side are pale 



chestnut, clouded with fuscous from the end 

 of the cell to the outer margin, and laved 

 with cinereous on the costa before the apex. 

 The wings are crossed by irregularly curved

and somewhat indistinct transverse basal, 

 sub-basal, median, limbal, and submargirttl 

 brown lines. There is a dark annular spot in 

 the middle of the cell, and a larger similarly 

 colored reniform spot at the end of the cell. 

 The fringes are dark brown marked narrowly 

 with white on the interspaces. The second- 

 aries are dark fuscous, except on the costa 

 near the base, where they are white, shining. 

 The fringes are paler than on the primaries, 

 and are marked with fuscous at the tips of the 

 nervules. On the under side, the primaries 

 are broadly dark fuscous on the middle area 

 with the inner margin white, shining; the 

 costa and the outer margin are bordered with 

 pinkish-rufous. There is a small subtrian- 

 gular fuscous spot on the costa just before the
