the Genus tmiiia. 205 



LOXOTROCHIS, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales ; ocelli absent ; tongue developed. 

 Antennae (partly broken) in $ rather strongly ciliated, basal joint 

 short, stout. Labial palpi moderate, curved, ascending, second joint 

 thickened with dense scales, laterally compressed, somewhat excurved, 

 terminal joint very short, thick, pointed. Maxillary palpi absent. 

 Posterior tibite smooth-scaled. Fore-wings with Ih furcate, 2 from 

 towards angle, 3 and 4 approximated, 7 and 8 out of 9, 7 to apex, 10 

 out of 9 below 7, 11 from beyond middle. Hind-wings 1, oblong- 

 ovate, cilia \ ; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This seems to be allied to Imma, yet it is very distinct ; 

 the characteristic palpi are quite similar, but the neuration 

 is altogether different, yet such that it might be a 

 derivative of Imma. 



L. sepias, n. sp. 



' 1^. 28 mm. Head, pal]>i, antenna, and tliorax fuscous. (Abdo- 

 men broken.) Fore- wings elongate, gradually dilated, costa 

 moderately arched, apex rounded, termen rather obliquely rounded ; 

 rather dark fuscous, veins obscurely paler ; cilia fuscous. Hind- 

 wings dark grey, with a faint purplish tinge ; cilia grey. 



New Hebrides (Espiritu Santo); one specimen in 

 British Museum. . 



Palamernis, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales ; ocelli very large ; tongue short- 

 Antennae f, in ^ stout, simple, basal joint short, without pecten. 

 Labial palpi moderate, obliquely ascending, second joint thickened 

 with appressed scales, terminal joint short (^), tliick, hardly pointed. 

 Maxillary ^Jalpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae with appressed scales, in 

 cJ with a pencil of long hairs from before middle above. Fore- wings 

 with vein \h long-furcate, 2-10 near and equidistant, 7 to apex, 11 

 from I, no secondary cell. Hind-wings over 1, ovate, cilia \ ; 2 and 

 3 stalked from lower angle of cell, 4-7 tolerably parallel. 



This curious form is apparently allied to Imma and 

 Brachodes, but very distinct from either ; the neuration of 

 hind-wings is quite unique.
