contained in the British-Museum Collection. By W.

[Continued from p. 302. ] 
TANAOPHYSA, gen. nov. 
Fore wings elongate, broadening towards the apex ; costa 
convex; apex blunt; hind margin curved, oblique. Hind 
wings rather narrow; hind margin slightly curved. Palpi 
porrect, rostriform ; tongue present; antenne simple in both 
sexes ; distinguished by a scaleless patch in the male fore 
wing ; on leaving the cell the last two subcostal nervules are 
slightly curved downwards for half the distance between the 
end of the cell and the hind margin, and the whole of the 
space between them is without scales and diaphanous. 
Type 7. adornatalis, Warr. 
Tanaophysa adornatalis, sp. n. 
Fore wings bright yellow, brownish along the costa, espe- 
cially towards the base; an indistinct obliquely curved first 
line near the base and another exterior of the ordinary shape ; 
a small dot in the cell near the first line and a larger one at 
the end of the cell. Hind wings like fore wings, with the 
exterior line repeated; fringes of both wings concolorous. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen all yellow. Underside whiter. 
Eixpanse of wings, ? 32, g¢ 24 millim. 
A pair from 8. Paolo in the British-Museum Collection. 
DIACME, gen. nov. 
Fore wings with costa straight till just before apex, where 
it is strongly curved ; hind margin oblique, slightly indented 
beneath apex, so that the wings appear subtalcate. Hind 
wings also bluntly subfalcate; the hind margin in the male 
cut off nearly straight from inner to anal angle; fore wings 
in male longer and narrower than in female, but not so exag- 
eratedly as in Stenophyes, Led. Antenne in male finely 
pubescent; labial palpi short, blunt, porrect; abdomen of 
male with two small lateral fan-shaped tufts of erect scales 
on either side of the penultimate segment.
