Heterocerous Lepidoptera from Japan. 598 
HYPONOMEUTID ? 
PSECADIOIDES, N. g. 
Aspect and form of Psecadia (bipunctella); rather 
broader ; neuration of primaries chiefly differing in the 
emission of the first subcostal branch near to the base 
instead of from the middle of the cell; secondaries with 
the disco-cellulars more transverse ; owing to the greater 
breadth of the wings the discoidal cells are shortened ; 
palpi more like those of Ypsolophus, longer and broader 
than in Psecadia, densely scaled, but less so than in 
Ypsolophus, and with shorter terminal joint; antenne 
thick, with very robust basal joint. 
But for the form of the wings, which is decidedly 
more like Psecadia, I should have placed this genus next 
to Ypsolophus, to which indeed it may have greater 
affinities. 
167. Psecadioides aspersus, n. 8. 
Primaries greyish brown, with greenish reflections, 
and spotted with black; costal border mottled with 
silvery white ; an irregular oblique band across the basal 
fourth, a triangular patch at external angle, and a rather 
irregular external border confluent with the external 
patch silvery white; a marginal series of black dots ; 
secondaries bronze-brown; head and thorax white ; 
centre of prothorax in front and shoulders bronze- 
brown; abdomen bronze-brown; under surface brown ; 
pectus silvery, with the legs brown; abdomen sordid 
white, brownish at anal extremity ; expanse of wings, 
1 inch. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
GELECHIIDA. 
168. Eretmocera ignipicta, n. 8. 
Purplish black ; primaries with a very broad carmine 
subcostal streak from near the base to the outer margin, 
where it meets a narrow stripe of the same colour, 
which runs round the margin half-way to the base ; 
secondaries dark bronzy brown ; head shining, smooth, 
plumbageous ; thorax showing fiery cupreous points in 
certain lights ; abdomen with extremely narrow orange 
posterior margins to the segments ; under surface bronzy 
brown ; primaries cupreous towards the base, purplish
