Descriptions of Pterophoride and Orneodide. 491 
PSELNOPHORUS, Waller. 
Gypsochares, Meyr., cannot be regarded as sufficiently 
distinct from this. The neural characters of fore-wings 
are in part incorrectly given by me; there are however 
differences between some of the species as stated below, 
but I think they should be treated as specific only. The 
neuration of Psel/nophorus should then be defined thus: 
7 present, 8 absent, 9 sometimes absent (in catharotes, 
hemiargus, and baptodactylus) or out of 7, 10 out of 7, 
11 out of 7 or separate (in vi/is). 
Pselnophorus hemiargus, n. sp. 
d¢d. 14mm. Head whitish-ochreous, between antennz white, face 
fuscous. Palpi short, white. Antennze whitish-ochreous. Thorax 
whitish-ochreous, anteriorly suffused with white. Abdomen whitish, 
longitudinally streaked with pale ochreous. Legs white, lined with 
dark fuscous. Fore-wings cleft from before middle, segments narrow, 
very acute ; 9 absent, 10 and 11 out of 7 ; whitish-ochreous ; a moder- 
ate streak of white suffusion along costa from base to middle ; costal 
elge finely mixed with dark fuscous for a short space above cleft ; 
first segment sprinkled with white posteriorly ; second segment 
wholly suffused with white except at base: cilia whitish-ochreous, 
on costa white, on second segment white towards apex above. Hind- 
wings cleft firstly from before 4, secondly from 4, segments slender ; 
grey ; cilia light greyish-ochreous, at apex of segments whitish. 
Syria (Beirut); one specimen. Allied to Hedemanni, 
Reb., which has similar neuration. 
Pselnophorus catharotes, n. sp. 
¢ @. 12-15 mm. Head fuscous, with a white frontal line, face 
somewhat sprinkled with white. Palpi short, grey sprinkled with 
white. Antenne white, above with a dark grey line. Thorax 
fuscous, anterior margin more or less suffused with white irroration. 
Abdomen brown, with several white lines. Legs white lined with 
blackish, last four joints of posterior tarsi wholly white. Fore-wings 
cleft from 3, first segment moderate, second narrow, both acutely 
pointed ; 9 absent, 10 and 11 out of 7; light brown, irrorated with 
dark fuscous ; costa from base to 2 irrorated with white; a small 
blackish spot above middle at 4, and another beneath base of cleft ; 
a blackish mark on costa beyond cleft, followed by a white patch 
mainly in costal cilia ; second segment more or less irrorated or
