 October, flying near the ground and difficult to see.

CECOPHORID.^. 



At some future date I hope to publish a revision of this 

 family. The present instalment is confined mainly to descrip- 

 tions of new species. 



Aglaodes, n. g. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufts small. Antennae, 

 basal joints moderate, without pecten (?) ; ciliations in male 

 (unknown). Palpi long ; second joint very long, much exceeding 

 base of antennae, with appressed scales slightly dilated at apex ; 

 terminal joint short (one-third of second), slender, acute. Thorax 

 with a small posterior crest (?). Forewings with costa strongly 

 arched. Hindwings narrower than forewings and much shorter, 

 ovate ; cilia two-thirds. A.nterior tibige clothed with long hairs. 

 Forewings with vein 7 to apex. Hindwings normal. 



Although the generic characters cannot be fully determined 

 from the single female specimen, its distinctness can hardly be 

 doubted. The palpi and shape of wings are peculiar. It appears 

 to come nearest Epipyrga, Meyr. 



Aglaodes chionoma, n. s}). 



Female, 1 1 mm. Head whitish. Palpi whitish ; second joint 

 tinged with reddish externally towards apex. Thorax (rubbed). 

 Abdomen ochreous. Legs whitish ; anterior tibiae with long 

 reddish hairs, anterior tarsi reddish. Forewings strongly dilated 

 posteriorly, costa strongly arched, apex obtusely rectangular, 

 hindmargin slightly oblique, straight ; fuscous irrorated with 

 whitish and bright-red scales ; a broad snow-white streak along 

 basal third of costa ; a red blotch on inner-margin before middle, 

 containing a central yellow spot ; a narrow red line along costa 

 from one-third to two-thirds, thence in a strongly arched line to 

 hindmargin above anal angle; beyond this, apical portion of 

 disc is bright-yellow : cilia yellow, at anal angle fuscous, with a
