Ipobracon (?) vectensis, sp. n. (Fig. 18.) 
Anterior wing about 4°3 long; reddish; stigma reddish- 
piceous, dark. 
Stigma large, bulging above; r. 1 oblique; r. 2 nearly 
straight ; b.n. straight, meeting t.-m., which is nearly in a 
line with it, but a little more vertical; second s.m. large 
and long ; disc. 1 strongly bulging above.

Ipobracon is a very large genus, numerously represented 
in the tropics, from Brazil and Africa to Australia. It 
appears possible to refer this and the following species to it, 
especially on account of the bulging upper side of disc. 1, 
Ipobracon (?) vectensis, sp... 
though in Jpodracon this presents an obtuse bend rather 
than a curve near the basal end, The hind wing, preserved 
in.I. micrarche, agrees with the recent species. J. micrarche 
also agrees a little better than J. vectensis with the recent 
species, because disc. ] approaches the second s.m. 
Iphiaulaw has the bulge in upper side of disc. 1 faintly 
indicated, bet is not identical with the fossils. It is perhaps 
probable that the fossils belong to an extinct genus ancestral 
to Ipobracon, but this cannot be clearly diagnosed. 
Szépligeti treats Ipobracon as part of Iphiaulac. 
Ipobracon (?) micrarche, sp.n. (Fig. 19.) 
Anterior wing about 2°5 mm. long, strongly reddish, with 
ferruginous stigma and nervures. Head and thorax black. 
Much smaller than J. vectensis, but with disc. 1 nearly 
touching second s.m., but apparently congeneric.
