and fringes white. Head, thorax, and abdomeu ochreous ; 

 palpi dark brown above, white beneatli. Underside whitish ; 

 the fore wings pinkish brown towards hind margin. 



Expanse of wings 24 niillim. 



Two males from Onoribo. 



The species is ratlier different from typical Blepharomastix, 

 but I think it may be placed among them for the present. 



Leucogephyra, gen. nov. 



Fore wings with costa nearly straight ; apex produced ; 

 hind margin sinuous, bulged below the middle. Hind wings 

 with apex bluntly produced, hind mai'gin sinuous, forming a 

 rounded bulge below middle. Labial palpi long, upcurved in 

 front of face, the terminal joint short an 1 aciculate ; maxillary 

 palpi filiform, horizontally porrect ; tongue present; ocelli 

 apparently absent ; antennae of male with close broad 

 laminations, flattened and widened beyond the middle ; hind 

 tibige of male with four spurs. 



Type Leucogephyra semifascialis, Warr. 



Leucogephyra semifasciaUs, sp. u. 



Fore wings pearly white, with a minute black dot at base 

 of inner margin ; a dark brown transverse line at one third, 

 curved outwards in its upper half, then vertical and thicker; 

 a small brown-black dot at lower end of discocellular ; an 

 exterior brown-black line formed of interrupted dashes between 

 the veins from costa at four fifths, slightly curved outwards 

 in upper half, then elbowed inwards and from below the cell- 

 dot running obliquely inwards to inner margin ; an oval 

 red-brown blotch on middle of hind margin running obliquely 

 through the fringes, which are white, with a very fine and 

 delicate brown basal line. Hind wings pearly white, with a 

 short basal line from inner margin ; a broad black-brown 

 fascia from inner margin above anal angle, mixed with white 

 scales towards middle, and becoming ferruginous in middle of 

 wing, where it ends abruptly, its edges being continued as 

 divergent dark lines to the costa; fringe white, with fine 

 basal line and two or three dark specks in the central bulge 

 and at anal angle. Underside white, with the lines all 

 marked, but the blotch of fore wings and fascia of liind wings
