250 Mr. Warren on the Pyralidina collected 



inner margin, more or less parallel to the hind margin in the ? ; 

 after the subcostal angulation it runs straight ; second line central, 

 with a subcostal angulation similar to the first, and then running 

 irregularly sinuou?, more or less parallel to the first, but diverging 

 from it on the inner margin ; in the $ this line is nearly straight 

 throughout, with a slight subcostal angulation pointing inwards; 

 third line from the costa before the apex to the inner margin before 

 the anal angle simply sinuous in the ^, with a paler external 

 edging ; in the J nearly straight ; there are traces, in both sexes, 

 of a zigzag submarginal line, and a submarginal row of black 

 spots ; in the ^ the lower half of the second line is followed and 

 that of the third line both preceded and followed by brown shading ; 

 a white-centred, dark-outlined spot obliquely below the subcostal 

 angulation of the first and second lines, representing the two 

 stigmata. Hind wing ochreous, dusted, like the fore wing, with 

 dark-tipped scales ; with a central, slightly curved brown line 

 (which in the $ is geminated), a dark spot between it and the base ; 

 in the ^ the apex is brownish, and in the $ the row of submarginal 

 black dots is visible, but not in the ^; abdomen dull ochreous 

 mixed with grey ; head, face, palpi, and thorax dull ochreous in 

 the ? , bright ochreous in the 3' • Under side dull ochreous, dusted 

 with darker ; with all the markings more or less showing through. 

 Expanse of wings, 45 mm. 



One ? . E. Jurua, Oct. 27th, 1874 ; one 3^ from 

 Juruapuca, E. Jurua, Nov. 11th, 1874. 



The 3 specimen is in better condition than the ? , 

 though both are without fringes. Notwithstanding the 

 different configuration of the hind wings, and the dis- 

 similarity in the markings of the fore wings of the two 

 sexes, the peculiar identical neuration shows the two 

 examples to be sexes of one and the same species. 

 Ensipia lamusalis, Wlk., xvi, p. 208, is evidently related 

 to it. 



Ekebostrota, n. g. 



Fore wing with straight costa, becoming convex before the apex, 

 which is blunt ; hind margin cm-ved, slightly scalloped, and 

 faintly elbowed in the centre. Hind wing with costa straight ; 

 hind margin with a rather prominent angular projection below the 

 costa, beneath which it is strongly indented, and then runs straight 

 to the anal angle. Tongue present, patagia rather long, suberect 

 (palpi and antennte, as well as the abdomen, gone) ; legs with the 

 tibiae and femora densely hairy. Neuration : Fore wing, cell 

 broad; disco-cellular angulated; the upper arm only half the
