of streak along inner mai^n ; a moderate triangular spot 

 on costa at three-quarters; an erect fascia from anal angle 

 reaching two-thirds across wing, apex irregular; a fuscous 

 blotch just above inner margin, connecting median and last- 

 mentioned fasciae; an elongate fuscous spot on upper half 

 of termen, more or less continued to apex ; cilia 3'eilowish, on 

 upper half fuscous with whitish tooth at apex. Hindwings 

 with termen rounded, faintly sinuate beneath apex ; 3 and 4 

 remote, 5 very widely remote, midway between 4 and 6 ; dark 

 bronzy-fuscous, faintly spotted with darker ; cilia light fuscous, 

 with a dai-^ker basal line. Underside of hindwings yellowish, 

 spotted mth fuscous. 



Doubtfully referable to Fyrgotis ; it approaches Acropolitis 

 lomewhat, but appears distinct from either of these genera 

 by the curious neuration of hindwings. I would have formed 

 a new genus for its reception, but in the absence of the male 

 it seems wiser to defer doing so for the present.

Syntozyga, n. g. 



Thorax with a small posterior crest. Antennae in male 

 strongly biserrate, shortly ciliated. Palpi moderate, some- 

 what arched, thickened with appressed scales, terminal joint 

 short, exposed, about one-third of second. Forewings elon- 

 gate, moderate, slightly naiTOwer than hindwings, surface 

 somewhat roughened; costa simple, neai'ly straight, termen 

 obliquely rounded, secondary cell very small, distinct, all 

 veins separate, 7 to termen, vein 1 furcate at base, 3 from 

 angle, remote from 4, 6 and 7 widely remote. Hindwings 

 with 3 and 4 somewhat connate, 5 curved, remote from 4, 6 

 and 7 long stalked. 



Somewhat allied to Palaeotoma, but differs by the crested 

 thorax, biserrate antennae, short terminal joint of palpi, 

 separation of veins 7 and 8 of forewings and well marked 

 secondary cell. This latter character is not of much value. 



Syntozyga psammetalla, n. sp. 



Male, 10 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, legs, and antennse 

 ochreous, second joint of palpi very short. Abdomen greyish- 

 ochreous. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa nearly 

 straight, tennen obliquely rounded ; ochreous, finely and trans- 

 versely strigulated with ferruginous; costa shortly and ob- 

 liquely strigulated with ferruginous ; outer edge of basal pateh 

 limited by a narrow ferruginous fascia, from one-third costa 

 to one-fourth inner margin, angula.ted outward . in middle ; 

 median patch moderately broad, nearly straight, from middle
