Genus ABSALA, nov. 
S$ 2. Costa arched, inner margin slightly rounded, more 
than two thirds length of costa, outer margin nearly as long 
as inner, slightly rounded, scalloped between the veins in 
both wings. Hind wings with the apex rounded ; venation 
of both wings normal, except that vein 5 of hind wings 1s 
emitted very close to the top of the cell, Antenne in ‘both 
sexes bipectinated to the tip with short bristles, slightly 
shorter in the female than in the male. Hind tibie with 
two pairs of spurs. 
Differs from the genus Pachyodes (type hemataria, H.-Sch.) 
in its longer and rounder wings, in the closeness of the origin 
of vein 5 of hind wings to the top of the cell; the pectinations 
‘of the male are similar, but the female of Pachyodes has 
simple antenne. 
Absala dorcada.

ochreous, palpi with bright chestnut-red hairs, fore and middle

and thorax and hind legs suffused with bright ochreous ;

Genus EPISOTHALMA, nov. 
3g. Fore wing more or less falcate, with costa arched before 
the apex, outer margin excavated below the apex, produced at
