CRAMBIDZ:. 
HALTEROPHORA, gen. n. 
Face with conical horny projection. Tongue well-developed. 
Antenne in ¢ shortly ciliated. Forewings: 7 separate. Hind- 
wings: 4and 5 connate or stalked, 7 out of 6; in ¢ above with 
very long exsertible hair-pencil lying in a groove beneath upper 
margin of cell, 
I characterise this genus for the reception of the 
well-known Crambus lativittalis, Walk. (halterellus, 
Zell.), which has apparentiy some affinity with Chilo, but 
cannot be justly included in that or any other described
