434 Mr. Butler's descriptions of Leindoptera- 



extremity of second median interspace, that of the secondaries 

 zigzag and partly touching the outer margin towards apex ; disco- 

 cellular spots represented by large black spots. Expanse of wings, 

 35 mm. 



Eockhampton. 



The coloration of this species is decidedly peculiar, 

 especially on the under surface, which is like that of 

 OpJithalmodes. 



^Egitrichus, n. g. 

 Allied to Boar mill ; neuration very similar, especially in the 

 primaries ; the subcostal branches of the secondaries and the 

 second and third median branches emitted at a short distance 

 from each other instead of from the same point ; the disco-cellular 

 veinlet also much more deeply inarched than in Boarmia ; on the 

 under surface of the secondaries are two thick masses of woolly 

 hair, the first projecting fr-om the outer half of the median vein 

 and the base of its first branch over the interno-median area, the 

 second spreading outwards from the basal half of the abdominal 

 margin ; body robust, palpi rather longer than in Boarmia, por- 

 rected, with deflexed short fusiform terminal joint ; antennae 

 wanting in the type. 



87. Mgitrichus lanaris, n. s. 

 Nearly resembles Boarmia, consortarla, but the ground colour of 

 the wings is whiter, the disco-cellular spots are well-defined, crescent- 

 shaped, white, that of the primaries with a grey border ; the lines 

 across the wings are also better-defined, blacker; the submarginal 

 dark-bordered zigzag white stripe is farther from the outer margin, 

 the lines of the central belt converge more towaixls the inner 

 margin of the primaries, the outer line in all the wings is less 

 regular, and the black dots along the outer margin are better- 

 defined ; on the under surface the differences are considerably 

 more marked, the ground colour both of wings and body being of 

 a pale sericeous vinous-grey instead of clear cream-colour, and the 

 markings consist of ill-defined greyish disco-cellular spots, an 

 arched discal streak and a submarginal band, barely distinguishable 

 on the primaries ; the hairy masses are tipped with grey. Expanse 

 of wings, 47 mm.
