forms, which lead me to the conclusion that 

 O. kesperia, Cram., O. occide?itis, Walk., 

 O. cafra, Dru., and probably 0. Jonesi, 

 Sharpe, are forms of one variable species. 



LIPARIDAE. 



Euproctidion, gen. nov. 



Antennae of the male strongly pectinated. 

 Palpi porrect. Firstand second joints densely 

 covered with short hair. The second joint 

 swollen. The third joint very minute, naked 

 at the extremity. The abdomen is one 

 quarter longer than the secondaries, tufted 

 at the anal extremity, and with two tufts of 

 hair upon the dorsal line behind the thorax. 

 The primaries have the costa moderately con- 

 vex, the outer margin strongly convex, the 

 outer angle produced as in the genus Calpe, 

 and the inner margin convex before the base. 

 The secondaries are subovoid. The neura- 

 tion is characteristic of liparid genera, the 

 radial in both wings originating at the same 

 point as the last median nervule. The disco- 

 cellular nervelets form a sharp angle at the 

 middle of the end of the cell. 



66. E. Gabunica, sp. nov. J. Antennae 

 with the culmen whitish, the setae dark 

 brown. The palpi, the head, and the upper 

 side of the thorax are dark brown. The abdo- 

 men is pale testaceous with the apex tufted 

 with black and two small tufts of brown hair 

 upon the dorsal line back of the thorax. The 

 lower side of the abdomen is yellowish. 

 There is a lateral brown line separating the 

 dorsal area from the ventral area of the abdo- 

 men on either side. The primaries have 

 the outer angle produced inwardly and the 

 inner margin slightly convex before the base. 

 The outer margin is regularly convex. The 

 primaries are wood-brown, clouded in the 

 middle with dark brown, and with a curved 

 whitish band crossing the middle of the wing 

 from the costa about the middle to the inner 

 margin one third of the distance from the 

 base. This band is enlarged outwardly be- 



yond the cell, where it has on its outer edge 

 a light line defined inwardly with brown 

 and terminating at the origin of the third 

 median in a bright white spot. The limbal 

 area has some whitish marks near the costa 

 and near the inner margin. The outer mar- 

 gin is defined by a series of black dots. The 

 fringes are reddish. The secondaries are 

 creamy-white. The fringes are concolorous. 

 On the under side both wings are creamy- 

 white with the costal area heavily clouded 

 with dark brown. Expanse, 24 mm. 



LIPARIDAE. 



Euproctis, Hiibn. 



67. E. Reutlingeri, sp. nov. $. Palpi 

 dark brown. Front reddish. Antennae and 

 upper side of thorax gray. Abdomen gray. 

 Legs concolorous, with the inner margin of 

 the first pair marked with dark brown. Prim- 

 aries pale wood-brown, crossed in the middle 

 by a broad dark brown band angulated 

 beyond the end of the cell, and with some 

 obscure brown subapical markings. The 

 secondaries pale wood-brown with the fringes 

 lighter. The under side pale grayish-brown 

 with the basal area of the primaries darker 

 and the costa of the primaries narrowly edged 

 with black near the base. The secondaries 

 have a regularly curved submarginal pale 

 brown line. Expanse, 17 mm. Habitat, 

 Benita. 



Heteronygmia, gen. nov. 



Antennae short, heavily pectinated in the 

 male, moderately pectinated in the female. 

 The abdomen very little longer than the 

 secondaries, tufted. Palpi porrect, appressed, 

 the second joint very long and heavily 

 clothed with hair; the third joint minute and 

 almost entirely concealed by the hairy vesti- 

 ture of the second joint. The primaries are 

 subtriangular with the costa in the male 

 straight, or very slightly convex for two- 

 thirds of the distance from the base, then 

 curving rapidly at the apex. The apex in
