Lepidoptera from the South Pacific. 203 



running into 12. Hind wings with veins 3 and 4 stalked, 5 rising 

 nearer to 6 than to 4, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 free, approximated to 7 

 towards base. 



19. Encrostis erichlora, n. s. 

 5 , 39 mm. Head and thorax green, space between antennae 

 snow-white. Palpi whitish ochreous. Antennae white. Abdomen 

 white, with a suffused green dorsal line. Fore wings- triangular, 

 hind margin gently rounded; vein 11 anastomosing with 12; 

 rather deep green ; costa narrowly pale brown, spotted with darker ; 

 lines hardly darker green, first preceded and second followed by 

 whitish dots on veins ; first from one-fourth of costa to before 

 middle of inner margin, curved ; second from two-thirds of costa 

 to three-fifths of inner margin, upper three-fourths rather curved 

 outwards ; a small brown darker-centred discal spot ; an ochreous- 

 brown hind-marginal hne ; cilia white, towards tips brownish, with 

 dark fuscous dots on veins. Hind wings moderate, hind margin 

 produced in middle into an acute angular projection ; colour, lines, 

 discal spot, hind-marginal line, and cilia as in fore wings, but first 

 line absent, second angulated in middle.

Face smooth. Palpi short or moderate, porrected, slender, 

 filiform or loosely scaled. Antennte in male bipectinated, towards 

 apex simple. Posterior tibial in both sexes with median spurs 

 present. Fore wings with veins 3 and 4 sometimes short-stalked, 

 G rising out of 9, 10 rising out of 9 between G and 7, 11 free or 

 anastomosing with 12 and sometimes again with 10 also. Hind 

 wings with veins 3 and 4 stalked, 5 rising nearer to G than to 4, 

 6 and 7 stalked, 8 free, approximated to 7 towards base. 



This genus is probably widely distributed ; in Australia 

 it is well represented. All the species included by 

 Guenee in his genus CldorocJiroma, which differs in no 

 structural character from lodis, are referred here. The 

 variations in structure of vein 11 of the fore wings are 

 of specific value only, occurring most markedly in the 

 most closely allied species. 



20. lodis dicramotn, ii. s. 

 3-, 21 — 22 mm. Head green. Palpi crimson, mixed with 

 white. Antenna} ochrcous-whitish. Thorax green, witli a straight 

 transverse ochroous-whitish line before anterior margin. A])doinon
