280 Mr. Warren on the Pyralidina collected 



downwards ; median vein swollen, witli a glossy tuft of scales near 

 the base ; submedian very stout, running near the inner margin ; 

 interno -median fold distinct, the membrane puckered and distorted 

 along its course. Hind wing with the cell short and broad ; disco- 

 cellular angulated internally ; costal free ; subcostal with two long 

 branches ; first median branch just before the end of the cell ; 

 second and third on a short common stem from the end ; radial 

 from the angle of the disco-cellular ; a similar fold to that on the 

 fore wing through the cell to the hind margin. 



87. Diastreptoneura distorta, n. s. 

 Fore wing glossy ashy grey, spotted and varied with blackish, 

 especially at the base of the wing, and in the middle of the costa. 

 There are also traces of darker transverse sinuous lines, but the 

 fore wings in both examples are denuded of scales to such an 

 extent that an accurate inspection of the markings is impossible. 

 Fringes shining grey, with a series of long dark lunules at their 

 base ; three or four whitish spots along the costa before the apex. 

 Indistinct traces of a pale zigzag submargmal line beyond a dark 

 costal blotch. Hind wing entirely dark grey, with the series of 

 dark lunules before the firinges. Under side shining cinereous, 

 without markings. Head, thorax, and abdomen cinereous, 

 mottled with darker ; antennae wholly dark. The scales of the 

 fore wing are broad, and appear as if attached in more or less 

 vertical lines. Expanse of wings, 24 mm. 



One ^ from E. Jurua, Nov. 6th, 1874, and another 

 from Gaviao, on the same river, Nov. 10th. 



Distinguished by the pecuHar shape of the fore wings, 

 as well as by their distorted neuration. Its position 

 will be near Phryganodes plicatalis, Gn.
