384 Mr. Butler's descriptions of Lepidoptera- 



Micro-Lepidopteron, come to the conclusion that it 

 should have been placed amongst the Noctuites. 



Xanthodule, n. g. 

 Form of Setina {S. ramosa) ; general aspect of Eitbaj^hc, neura- 

 tion most like Eudule, but that of the primaries quite distinct ; 

 costal vein terminating at third fourth of the margin, subcostal 

 five-branched, the first three branches emitted before the end of 

 the cell, fourth and fifth branches emitted from the anterior angle 

 of the cell, forking from a long footstalk ; disco-cellulars inangled ; 

 upper radial emitted from the anterior angle of the cell immediately 

 below the last siibcostal branch ; lower radial emitted close to the 

 third median, having the appearance of a fourth median branch ; 

 second and third median branches emitted near together but at 

 some distance beyond the first, the latter running obliquely almost 

 to the external angle, almost joining the submedian vein at its 

 extremity ; discoidal cell of secondaries extending to second-third 

 of wing, the costal margin slightly concave, costal vein running 

 almost to apex, subcostal forked at some distance beyond the cell ; 

 disco-cellulars unequally inangled ; radial emitted nearer to the 

 median than to the subcostal vein so as to appear like a fourth 

 median branch, it and the second and third median branches being 

 about equidistant ; first median branch a little fmiher apart ; body 

 slender, the thorax rounded, the abdomen extending slightly 

 beyond the anal angle of secondaries ; antennas thick at base, 

 tapering, serrate-pectinated ; palpi wanting. 



4. Xanthodule semioclirea, n. s. 



Primaries pale greyish brown, with an ill-defined paler oblique 

 sinuous transverse central band ; secondaries ochreous, with the 

 apex and an ill-defined streak from it along the outer margin dark 

 bi'own; head white, collar tinted with ochreous, thorax greyish 

 white, abdomen whitish ; primaries below smoky brown, with a 

 narrow tapering whitish apical border ; secondaries below as above ; 

 legs (probably the palpi) and venter ochreous. Expanse of wmgs, 

 18 mm. 



Peak Downs. 



LIPAllID/E. 



Chionophasma, n. g. 

 Aspect of Porthesia, but with more thinly scaled wings, com- 

 paratively smaller secondaries, and very different ncuration ; 

 primaries elongate-ovato, the costal margin only slightly convex.
