Closely related to Amhlyura corusca, Ld., which, 

 according to that author, belongs to the Pyralidina, but 

 placed by Walker, along with several other abnormal 

 genera, among the Tortricina. This latter position 

 is clearly wrong ; and when we consider that the 

 various species characterised by the costal pouch possess 

 all the different forms of labial palpi occurring among 

 the Deltoids, we shall not, I think, be very far wrong in 

 locating them here, in close connection with the genus

The fawn-coloured fore wing has two indistinctly- 

 marked sinuous darker lines, one before, the other beyond 

 the middle ; both stigmata are represented by a small 

 round silvery-grey spot, which in the specimens of 

 B. phariLsalis in the British Museum Collection are not 

 visible. Walker gives 16 lines as the expanse of B. 

 pharusalis and 17 of B. orionalis ; the present speci- 

 men, however, measures only 14 lines, i. e., about 

 30 mm. 



17. Blepti7ia albidiscalis, n. s. 

 Fore wings deep fuscous, with two pale dark-edged sinuous 

 transverse lines, each slightly bent just beneath the costa ; the first 

 close to the base, the second bej'ond the middle ; reniform stigma 

 linear, white ; submarginal line scarcely visible. Hind wing deep 

 fuscous, with one pale straight line ; fringes concolorous. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen deep fuscous. Palpi with second joint long, 

 curved ; the third half as long as the second, securiform, with a 

 minute acute apex, bright orange on the sides, especially externally,
