27. Mitothemma striata, n. s. 



Primaries above golden stramineous, more or less 

 densely irrorated with grey, which sometimes forms 

 broad longitudinal streaks in and below the cell ; traces 

 of two to three abbreviated oblique undulated parallel 

 grey striae from the cell to the inner margin, and beyond 

 them two darker grey stripes from apex to inner margin, 

 the inner one angulate-sinuous, the outer one sub- 

 marginal and regularly undulated ; a nearly marginal 

 .series of small black spots, followed by an extremely 

 slender black marginal line, sometimes interrupted ; 

 secondaries shining white, irrorated with grey, crossed 

 by a slender and sometimes black-clotted grey discal 

 line ; a slender blackish marginal line, interrupted at the 

 extremities of the veins, and sometimes a series of 

 blackish dots ; body pale stramineous ; primaries below 

 cream-coloured, the basal three-fourths, excepting at 

 costal border, more or less suffused with grey and bounded 

 externally by an oblique darker line incurved towards 

 costa ; a marginal series of black dots ; secondaries 

 creamy white, shining, sparsely and minutely black- 

 speckled ; a blackish spot at the end of the cell ; a discal 

 and a marginal series of black dots ; body below sordid- 

 white. Expanse of wings, 31 — 35 mm.

Judging from the figure alone the Schcenobivs terrcus 

 of Zeller from Madagascar looks as though it might 

 belong to this genus. 



Taseopteryx, n. g. 



Allied to Eromene, but readily distinguished by its 

 tapering clearly pectinated male antennas ; the costal 

 margin of the primaries strongly arched towards the 

 base, and the style of coloration which somewhat reminds 

 one of Plusia.
