the thorax, patagia, and abdomen are, like the wings, olive-fuscous ; abdomen 

 beneath and legs yellow, as in the t3'pe ; in the brown upper half of face, the 

 yellow vertex and antennae, and the white front of the shoulders, they agree 

 with the type-form also. 



All the examples wei-e taken fi'om February to April 1903. 



Urogonodes gen. uov. 



Forewing : costa convex towards apex, which is bluntly produced and sub- 

 falcate in the ? , blunt and rectangular in the $ ; hindmargin bluntly elbowed at 

 vein 3, faintly concave above and below. 



Hindioing : apical and anal angles rounded ; hindmargin straight to a blunt 

 depressed tooth between veins 3 and 4, thence concave to anal angle ; the inner 

 margin not shortened. 



Antennae with close clavate teeth in both sexes ; palpi extremely short ; 

 tongue and frenulum absent ; hindtibia with terminal spnrs only. 



Nenratiou : forewing, cell more than half the length of wing ; discocellular 

 strongly inangulate in middle, shortly vertical at lower end ; first median nervnle 

 at one-half, second at three-fourths ; lower radial from the lower outward angle 

 of discocellular; vein G stalked with 7: 8 from upper end of cell, lu and 11 long- 

 stalked from close before it, 9 absent ; hindwing, 7 long-stalked with 8, the stalk 

 touching the subcostal at a point at middle of cell ; discocellular vertical above, 

 oblique below ; first median nervule at two-thirds, second at eight-ninths, third 

 stalked with the radial. 



Type : Urogonodes scintillans Warr. ( Oreta ?). 



8. Urogonodes scintillans Warr. 



Orela? sciiUiUans Warr., Nov. ZooL. iii. p. 273 ( ? ) (1896)( Ferguson). 

 Cijclura inconspkua Warr., id. vi. p. 3 ( ? ) (1809) (St. Aignan). 



The type of scintillans was in very poor condition, lu referring inconspicua to 

 Ci/clwa I remarked that the neuration did not agree : besides which, the inner 

 margin of hindwing is not shortened nor the hindmargin excised, as I have been 

 enabled to determine from the examination of specimens in good condition from the 

 Upper Aroa River. The description given of inconspicua is good as far as it goes ; 

 but there is an onter dift'use dark line, starting from costa at two-thirds, oblique 

 outwards to vein 7 near apex, then oblique inwards to two-thirds of inner margin. 

 This and the median shade together form an ill-defined broad central fascia, continued 

 across hindwing. The underside is better described as yellow ochreous. The 

 (? is smaller and darker, with a purplish tinge ; the two shades darker, marked by 

 black costal spots nearer together, the outer shade, when visible, approaching the 

 inner on submedian fold ; the dark marginal markings are developed into a deep 

 purple-brown blotch below middle, with some pale lilac-grey scales on it ; there are 

 ulho sometimes traces of an inner line nearer base ; hiudwings without distinct 

 markings, either purplish or reddish. 



Underside of forewing of c? bright red, tiu; inner margin and a large costal 

 blotch before apex yellow ; the dark oblique line of the ¥ generally not so well 

 developed ; hindwings wholly bright red, flushed with yellow along costal and imier 

 margins, and iu one example tinged with dark ; the line hardly shown.
