Pycnaemon, Ld. 



106. Pi/cnarmon jag liar alis, Gn. 



SpilomelajaguaraUs, Gn., 283; Pycnarmon jaguar alis, 

 Ld., pi. xvii., 11.

 Occurs also in Amboina, Celebes, and India. 



CONCHYLODES, Gn. 



107. Conchylodes caheralis, Gn. 

 Spilomela caheralis, Gn., 284. 



Fiji {Mathew, Lucas) ; several specimens. Also from 

 Celebes and Java. 



Physematia, Ld. (?). 

 Forehead rounded, tolerably vertical; ocelli present; tongue 

 well developed. Antennae three-fourths of fore wings, in male 

 shortly cihated (^), with angularly projecting scales at joints. 

 Labial palpi moderate, arched, ascending, second joint with dense 

 short projecting scales beneath, terminal joint rather short, some- 

 what roughened with scales anteriorly, tolerably pointed. Maxillary 

 palpi absent. Abdomen in male with valves short, exserted, scaled. 

 Posterior tibiae with outer spurs half inner. Fore wings with vein 

 10 rising out of stalk of 8 and 9, 11 oblique. Hind wings somewhat 

 over 1 ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, 

 anastomosing with 8 to near middle. 



These characters are drawn from the following species, 

 which is perhaps not truly referable to Physematia, and 

 is certainly allied to Conchylodes ; Lederer's Physematia 

 should have an indentation in the cell of the fore wings, 

 which this species does not show, but the other characters 

 agree, so far as given by Lederer.
