256 Mr. "Warren on the Pyralidina collected 



Fore wing dun-colour, with a slight purplish tinge ; markings 

 ohve-fuscous ; basal area pale, edged by an oblique Une from the 

 basal end of the costal cavity to the inner margin ; this line is 

 followed by a diffuse fuscous-olive shade ; from the apical end of 

 the costal concavity a sinuous, rather dentate, brown line runs just 

 inside the end of the incision, while between the two lines is a 

 shghtly darker central shade ; a dark spot of scales at the end of 

 the incision ; submarginal line curved, indistinct, but preceded by 

 dai'ker shading throughout ; fringes concolorous, darker at their 

 base. Hind wing dull fuscous, the margin faintly scalloped. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen all dun-colour. Under side paler, more 

 ochreous, with greyish suffusion, the funnel of hairs somewhat 

 ochraceous ; hind wing dusted with dark grey, with a dark central 

 spot and traces of three curved bands. 



Pteroprista, n. g. 

 Fore wing with costa straight ; hind margin obtusely angulated 

 in the middle, and with a slit below the angulation, running in 

 towards the base of the wing for about one-iifth of its length, the 

 edges fringed like the hind margin itself. Hind wing rounded. 

 Neuration : first and second subcostal branches running parallel 

 to each other from about the centre of the subcostal; third, fourth, 

 and fifth from the same stem, rising just before the end of the cell, 

 the third out of the fourth half-way before the apex. Submedian 

 to anal angle ; interno-median fold strongly developed ; first 

 median branch at one-third before the end of the cell, running 

 into the hind lobe ; second from just before the end of the cell, 

 curving upwards into the front lobe ; third and lower radial from 

 the same point at the end of the cell ; upper radial from below the 

 upper angle. Hind wing : Costal and subcostal united at the base 

 for a short distance ; subcostal with two branches, median with 

 three ; the second and third on the same stem. Palpi laterally 

 compressed, long, recurved over the head, the third joint twice the 

 length of the second, bluntly pointed ; roughly scaled extei'nally, 

 internally clothed with long pale hairs, as in T. alucitalis and the 

 genus Berhula ; tongue well-developed; maxillary palpi absent. 

 Antennae thin, the joints angulated and finely pubescent, but with- 

 out the two longer bristles that occur in Tortricodes. Legs with 

 the base of all the femora hau-y. 



Akin to Gaherasa, Wlk., and Tortricodes, Gn., with an 

 incision in the hind margin of the fore wings ; differing, 

 like Gaherasa, from Tortricodes by the absence of any 

 costal concavity.
