492 Mr. E. Meyrick’s Notes and 
obscurely suffused with white: cilia dark fuscous-grey, on costa 
white towards apex, on second segment with a white spot above 
apex. Hind-wings cleft firstly from 4, secondly from %, segments 
very narrow ; dark fuscous ; cilia fuscous-grey. 
AssAM (Khasi Hills), from August to November and 
in April; about eighty specimens. It is nearly allied to 
baptodactylus, which however differs from catharotes by 
absence of dark fuscous irroration, the presence of distinct 
black dots at apex of wing and extremity of vein 7, and 
clear white streak along upper half of second segment, 
dark-edged beneath; the extensive material obtained shows 
catharotes to be constant in these particulars. Alucita 
albitarsella, Wals., must be referable to this genus and 
closely allied to these two species; I have not seen it, 
but from the description it must agree very nearly with 
baptodactylus, having the characteristic white streak of the 
second segment, but being apparently without the black 
dots. Probably Zeller’s quotation of India as a locality for 
baptodactylus is founded upon a/bitarsella, the distinction 
of which must be at present regarded as doubtful, as Lord 
Walsingham makes no comparison with baptodactylus. 
Pselnophorus vilis, Butl. 
This name supersedes amurensis, Christ., having one 
year’s priority. The species occurs in Eastern Siberia 
and Japan. 
MARASMARCHA, Meyr. 
Marasmarcha bonaespei, Wals. 
(Lioptilus bonaespei, Wals., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, 
281, pl. XIII, 46.) 
This species, which I have from Weenen, Natal, is a 
true Marasmarcha. 
Marasmarcha hodias, n. sp. 
¢. 13mm. Head ochreous, anterior half of crown white. Palpi 
rather short, white. Antenne white, rather shortly ciliated. Thorax 
ochreous-whitish. Abdomen whitish, with rather broad dark brown 
dorsal stripe. Legs white, anterior and middle femora and tibiz 
and basal joint of tarsi lined with dark fuscous. Fore-wings cleft
