1 c? from Etna Ba}-, Dutch New Guinea, August 1896 (H. Kiihn). 



While iiigreeing with the t}])e of the genus in the peculi.ar strncture of the 

 frenulum, this sjiecies differs somewhat in neuration : the cell is not half as long as 

 the wing ; vein ti is stalked with 7, 8, 9, 10, and veins 3, 4 of hindwings rise both 

 from the lower end of cell; the hindwings are scarcely toothed at middle, nor is 

 the apex of forewings prodnccd : the pectinations of the antennae scarcely reach 

 beyond halfway. 



SvBi-AMiLY STERimiNAE. 

 Thysanotricha geu. nov. 

 A development of Craspeelia. The hindwing of the 6 has the abdumiual 

 margin thickened and contorted, slightly swollen at middle ; from near the base of 

 the wing rises a pencil of hairs, contorted parallel to the margin, under the fold 

 of which they are sometimes hidden. 

 Type : 7'. ziczacata spec. nov. 



18. Thysanotricha ziczacata spec. nov. 



ForewiiKjs : chalk-white ; crossed by three fuscous Inunlate-dentate lines, 

 darker marked on the veins ; a slight cell-dot between tirst and second ; marginal 

 line grey ; fringe white, tinged with grey ; costa dark at base. 



Hhiflirings : like forewings; tie abdominal i'okl in the 6 grey towards anal 

 angle ; the pencil of hairs rufous. 



Underside white, tingid with grey towards costa of forewings. Face and i)alpi 

 dark brown ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen white ; the hinder segments of abdomen 

 grey-tinged on dorsum. 



Expanse of wings : 16 mm. 



A pair from Isabel Island, June— July 1901 (Meek). 



Subfamily HYDRIOMENINAE. 

 Calleulype gen. nov. 



Agrees with Euh/pe Hiib. in neuration, the forewings having a single areole 

 and the hindwings the discocelhilar biangulated, with the radial from the lower 

 outward angulation ; but the wings are longer and narrower; the palpi upcurved 

 and blnnt in front of face instead of porrect and pointed ; the forehead smooth and 

 flat, without the jirojecting tuft below : and the antennae have the joints angular. 



The character of the markings is also entirely ditferent ; and the abdomen and 

 thorax, as in Abraxas, are yellowish with series of dark spots. 



Type : CaUeidi/pe whiteliji Butler (^Abraxas). 



Telenomeuta gen. nov. 



The species described by Leech in the Entoynol agist xxiv. Stippl. p. 53 as 

 Scotosia punrtinxirginuna, and transferred to I'liibalapten/x {Ann. Mag. N. II. 1897. 

 xix. p. 562), belongs strictly to neither genus, and will require a new one for its 

 reception. The forewings have the areole simple, therein differing, as far as I 

 know, from all the species referable to either of the genera mentioned. 



In the hindwings the discocelhilar is oblitine, with the radial from its centre, 

 therein likewise^differing from Srotosia and its allies, with which it agrees well in 

 other respects, especially in the character of the markings and the crennlation of 

 the hindwings.
