400 Mr. A. G. Butler on Heterocerous Lepidoptera 



This and the following (which was associated with it) 

 differ from the typical female in the neuration of the 

 secondaries ; the second and third median branches 

 being emitted, like the subcostal branches, from a fairly 

 long footstalk : as, however, the males are unknown to 

 me, I hesitate to make a distinct genus for their reception, 

 since it is possible that the males may be found to belong 

 to some group already separated. 



89. Hoplosaui'is ? moesta, n. s. 



Shining dull silvery grey, with slight brownish re- 

 flections ; primaries with the central area slightly green- 

 ish, crossed by blackish lines representing the central 

 belt, and formed much as in the preceding species, 

 changing abruptly to chocolate in and beyond the cell 

 and in the interno-median interspace, where the ground 

 colour is slightly tinted with pink ; the other lines are 

 all obsolete, excepting towards the costal border and at 

 inner margin (though it is possible that they might be 

 visible throughout in perfectly fresh examples) ; a discal 

 series of elongated black spots or dashes ; external bor- 

 der tinted with rose-brown ; a marginal series of black 

 spots in pairs, connected by a submarginal series of 

 small lunate black markings ; fringe whitish, slightly 

 rosy at base, and traversed by a series of dusky dots ; 

 secondaries with white fringe ; primaries below slightly 

 rosy towards apex ; a slender black marginal line ; fringe 

 white ; body below pale golden brown ; palpi dark 

 brown ; tibise and tarsi banded with black. Expanse of 

 wings, 38 mm.

Pachrophylla, Blanchard. 



90. Pachrophylla varians, n. s. 



(? . Shining creamy white ; primaries crossed in the 

 middle by a pale grey belt, narrow towards inner mar- 

 gin ; constricted, and dotted with ferruginous upon the 

 interno-median area, abruptly expanded above the median 

 vein, and separating into two bands towards the costa ; 

 this belt is margined and traversed by zigzag darker grey 

 lines dotted with black ; an externo-discal series of acute 

 black dashes with pure white centres, and a marginal
