[Read March 1st, 1905.] 



PYRALIDiE. 



CHRYSAUGINjE. 



Genus Pachypodistes, nov. 



Proboscis aborted ; palpi not projecting beyond frons and very 

 thickly clothed with hair ; maxilliary palpi absent ; frons with 

 thick tuft of hair ; antenna? ciliated ; legs of male thickly clothed 

 with hair, the fore tarsi fringed with hair, the mid and hind tarsi 

 with immense tufts of hair on upper-side, the spurs absent, female with 

 the tibiae and tarsi smoothly scaled and very much swollen, the tarsal 

 joints indistinct, the spurs absent ; abdomen very long, especially in 

 female where the anal segment is twice the length of the others. 

 Fore-wing with the costa concave and the apex produced upwards, 

 especially in male, the termen strongly excurved ; vein 3 from angle 

 of cell ; 4-5 stalked in male, approximated for some distance in 

 female ; the upper angle of cell produced, especially in male, 6 from 

 angle in male, in female shortly stalked with 7, 8, 9, 10 ; 11 from 

 cell. Hind-wing with the inner angle thickly clothed with hair ; 

 vein 3 from angle of cell ; 4, 5 stalked in male, approximated for 

 some distance in female ; 6, 7 stalked, 7 anastomosing with 8. 



The genus is best placed in the Chrysauginaz in spite of 

 the absence of proboscis. 



Paehypodides goeldii, n. sp. 



£ . Head and thorax greyish-ochreous mixed with fuscous-brown ; 

 patagia dull vinous-red irrorated with grey and edged with ochreous; 

 hind tarsi tinged with vinous-red, the fringe of hair dark brown at 

 tips ; abdomen ochreous-brown, the ventral surface tinged with 

 vinous-red. Fore-wing vinous-red irrorated with greyish-ochreous 

 especially on costa and inner margin ; an oblique grey antemedial 

 line joined at inner margin by a very obliquely curved line from 

 costa near apex below which it is slightly angled ; cilia brownish- 

 ochreous. Hind-wing vinous-red irrorated with greyish-ochreous,
