262 Mr. E. Meyrick's descriptiojis of 



dense projecting scales above and beneath, terminal joint horizontal, 

 rather short, cylindrical, obtuse. Maxillary palpi absent. Thorax 

 somewhat hairy beneath. Posterior tibiae in female with outer 

 spurs less than half inner. Fore wings with vein 8 terminating in 

 apex, 10 closely approximated to 9, 11 very oblique. Hind wings 

 rather broader than fore wings ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 

 7 out of G near origin, anastomosing with H to one-third. 



In the absence of the male, it is doubtful whether the 

 generic location is correct. 



116. Li/gropis sirioxantlia, n. s. 



5 , 42 — 45 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs ochreous-j'ellow ; shoulders sometimes narrowly ferruginous. 

 Fore wings rather elongate -triangular, costa posteriorly moderately 

 arched, apex obtuse, hind margin somewhat bowed, obhque ; 

 bright ochreous-yellow, with feiTUginous-brown markings; some- 

 times an indistinct suffusion along anterior half of costa ; first line 

 slightly curved, from one-fourth of costa to two-fifths of inner 

 margin, sometimes interrupted into spots ; a roiind dark fiiscous 

 dot midway between this and discal spot ; a transverse-oblong 

 discal spot slightly before middle, slightly curved inwards, yellow 

 margined with ferruginous-brown ; an inwards-curved streak from 

 beneath discal spot to middle of inner margin, connected with first 

 line by a shade along inner margin ; a slender transverse line 

 between veins 5 and 7 before two-thh'ds ; a broad hind-marginal 

 band, darker anteriorly, inner edge extending from two-thirds or 

 three-fourths of costa to two-thirds or three-fourths of inner 

 margin, with a semicircular indentation on middle third; cilia 

 white, barred with grey, and with a dark grey basal line. Hind 

 wings with ground colour and cilia as in fore wings ; markings 

 ferruginous-brown ; a transverse linear or roundish discal spot, 

 containing a pale central line ; a dentate line fi-om beyond middle 

 of costa to near three-fifths of inner margin, obtusely angulated 

 above middle, rectangularly bent inwards below middle, and again 

 downwards below discal spot, sometimes partially interrupted ; a 

 moderately broad hind-marginal band, sometimes suffused with 

 yellow beneath, gradually attenuated beneath, margined by a faint 

 ferruginous line.
