232 Mr. Warren on the Pi/ralidina collected 



before the end; fifth just before end; third out of the fifth near 

 its origin, the fourth out of the fifth just before the apex, these last 

 two embracing the apex ; radials fi'om the ends of the disco- 

 cellular ; first median branch at one-fifth before the end, curved ; 

 second and third from the lower angle of the cell ; interno-median 

 fold strongly expressed. Hind wing with the costal free ; the sub- 

 costal with two long branches ; first median branch at two-thirds ; 

 second and third on a short stalk from the lower end of the cell, 

 along with the radial. Antennae with angulated jomts, ciliated 

 beneath. Palpi long, upcurved, hairy; the second joint curved, 

 cut off sharply at its apex ; the third only half the length of the 

 second, with a fine small point ; forehead rough ; tongue present. 



This genus, as illustrated by the single species below 

 mentioned, is characterised (1), by the abnormally large 

 palpi compared with the size of the insect, these organs 

 being half as long as the fore wings ; and (2), by the 

 absence of all the usual markings of the fore wing, 

 which superficially somewhat resembles that of a 

 Toi'trix. 



8. Hypliypena hipu7ictalis, n. s. 



Fore wing ochreous-yellow, mottled with yellowish brown, and 

 suffused with the same colour along the hind margin, and at the 

 base and centre of the costa ; a small black spot in mid-wing 

 before the middle, and a double brown-black spot beyond the 

 middle, both suiTounded by paler ; fringe pale, more or less varied 

 with dark brown, especially towards the anal angle and the apex. 

 Hind wing pale ochreous, with only the hind margin diffusely 

 darker; fringes pale, with a reddish dividing line. Head, face, 

 palpi, and thorax reddish ochreous; abdomen whitish ochreous. 

 Under side : fore wing reddish ochreous, with the costa and fringes 

 varied with brown-black ; hind wing pale ochreous, the costal half 

 speckled with brown, and a series of brown dashes at the base of 

 the fringes. Expanse of wings, 16 mm. 



Five males, all from K. Jurua, Oct. 31st, Nov. 1st and 

 6th, 1874. 



The species bears a superficial resemblance to Hijpena 

 ohatjitalis, Wlk., from Ega, and to Bucinna divisalis, 

 Wlk , XXXV., 1983 {^Bdousa divisalis, Wlk., xxxiv., 

 1209) also from Ega ; but may be distinguished at once 

 by its very large palpi and the absence of any transverse 

 lines : besides which the neuration is quite different.
