superficial resemblance to the Indian as well as to the 

 American species, the abdomen being shorter, the wings 

 broader, and the antennae not so long ; so it might 

 deserve the formation of a new genus between Zehronia 

 and Condiylodes. 



Sikkim; Moller. 



[This is the type of genus Metaxyspila, Warren MSS. 

 — H. J. E.] 



Genus Kavanoa, Moore, Lep. Ceyl., iii., p. 284. 

 218. Ravanoa virgatalis. 



Pycnaf-mon virgatalis, Moore, P. Z. S., 1867, pi. 92, 

 f. 7—10 ; S. & C, No. 4317. 



This species has, in the male sex, simple antenna, 

 and is much more slenderly built than Pycnarinon. 

 jaguaralis, Guenee. In fact, it agrees, in facies and 

 generic characters, with llavanoa hilineolalis, Moore. 

 Ravanoa creonalis, Moore, belongs to Meyrick's genus 

 Dolichosticha. 



Sikkim ; Moller. 



[This belongs to genus Eutrichotis, Warren MSS. — 

 H. J. E.] 



Genus CoNCHYLODES, Gueii., Lederer, p. 442 (pars.). 



Perhaps it would be better to unite caberalis and the aUied species 

 under the generic name Aripana, Moore, Lep. of Ceylon, p. 31'2, 

 to reserve the name Conchylodes, Guen., for diphtheraUs and 

 hebrcBalis, and to place striginalis, platinalis, argentalis, and 

 ovulalis in a third genus Zehronia, Hiibn. ; but as I do not 

 possess dijMheralis and hehrcealis, I prefer to leave the question 

 undecided. Lederer speaks of two sections (A and B) of his genus 

 Conchylodes, but does not indicate the species belonging to them. 



219. Conchylodes imucipunctalis, nov. spec. 

 PI. XIX., fig. 2). 

 A male of 20 mm. expanse. 



I cannot consider this species, of which I have also four Javanese 

 specimens of 20 — 21 mm. expanse, as a variety of caheralis, Guen., 

 to which species it is allied, becaiise, as in diapliana. Cram., 

 meritalis, Walker {baptalis, Snellen), and judging after the figm-e, 

 also in levinia, Cram., the costa of fore wings is not marked with 

 black strife, as in caberalis, Guen., crinalis, Walk., Led., and
