( jielxxi }) 
and some trifid, but the type of scale remains the same; the 
scales that cover the greater part of the wing are long and 
broadish, generally almost straight, but occasionally slightly 
wider at the apices which are waved and even, not dentate; 
with them in much smaller numbers is a lyre-shaped scale, 
but shorter than the one just described. These obtain in 
both wings. 
In Larinopoda soyauxi we have similar types but varying 
in details; the fringe scales have the club much heavier; 
the ordinary pattern is of moderate length, narrow, of equal 
width, with the apex very slightly indented in the middle, 
just sufficiently for it to be seen; but with them in very large 
numbers is a most remarkable scale; it is shaped just like a 
trident, very broad with a heavy base, the attachment peduncle 
shaped up to it as in a trident, not hollowed out and with the 
stalk in the centre as in all the usual pattern scales; the prongs 
are long, and generally it is only two-pronged, though in one 
specimen before me there are some with a short central prong; 
these apparently lie in alternate rows with the ordinary 
pattern, and there is not sufficient overlap for the latter to 
reach to the solid basal portion of the trident scale, which 
no doubt accounts for the somewhat hyaline appearance of 
this species. The scales on the underside of the wing are 
similar in pattern but very slightly modified, being smaller, 
whilst in addition on the basal portion of the inner margin 
there are a large number of triangular scales (roughly triangular) 
that are not ribbed, but are reticulated (in sens. strict.) the 
reticulations being rather transverse and very definite. The 
secondaries both upper and under side have the same two 
patterns but have no reticulated ones. The scale ribs of 
these species are very finely lined transversely. In addition 
to these the veins are clothed with a small narrowly oval 
scale, ribbed, that is like the “ blasenschuppen,” in zcarus but 
about twice as long. The very hyaline species generally 
called Pentila muhata (it is not a Pentila however, and as I 
shall shortly have to bring that species under review I may 
as well name it here, especially as its new generic name is 
derived from its extraordinary scales. I propose the name 
Ornipholidotos for it, as the scales look as if they were horny
