SiKKiM [MoUer, 1887). Assam— Mao (N. Manipur), 5000- 

 7000 feet, VIII. 1889 {Doherty). Perak— Gunong Hijan, 

 4000-4900 feet {Doherty, 1891). Batian — Mt. Sibela, 

 3000-5000 feet {Dohertu, 1892). 



Felder and Rogenhofer record their type of Penthina'i lu- 

 gulris from " fl. Amazonas {Bates)." The specimen is 

 labelled " 276 " and " B. in cop." It is on a long iron pin, 

 whereas Bates used short English pins, and the evidence is 

 very strong that this is another of the very numerous mistakes 

 in locality-labels which pervade the collection ostensibly made 

 by the 'Novara' expedition, but whicli was obviously put 

 together by purchase and otherwise from many widely 

 scattered sources. The specimens labelled Bates CoH. could 

 have been obtained in no other manner, as Mr. Bates did 

 certainly not accompany tlie expedition. 



109 (2). Brachygonia, gen. nov. 



{fipaxvs = short ; yavia = an angle. ) 



Type ( (^ ) Brachygonia angulicostana, Wlsm. 



Antennce less than half the length of the fore wings ; (J 

 stout, scarcely pubescent ; basal joint somewhat enlarged. 

 Palpi short, appressed to the face ; median joint moderately 

 clothed with appressed scales ; terminal joint slightly ex- 

 posed. Head slightly rough above. Thorax smooth. Fore 

 wings elongate, slightly widened outwards; costa shortly 

 angulated at the extreme base, straight beyond, male without 

 a fold, apex rounded ; ternien oblique, slightly convex, tornus 

 rounded. JSeuration, 12 veins, all separate; 2 from middle 

 third of cell ; 3 slightly recurved and closely approximate to 

 4 at its origin ; 7 to ternien. Hind wings rather triangular, 

 apex rounded, termen slightly rounded. Neuration^ 8 veins ; 

 3 and 4 connate ; 5 bent over towards origin of 4 ; 6 and 7 

 almost coincident towards their base. Abdomen somewhat 

 stout ; genital segments ( ^ ) concealed in a circular chitinous 

 pouch ; uncus present. Legs smooth. 



This genus, which agrees in neuration with Tortrix, L., 

 differs in the short abrupt angle at the base of the fore wings 

 and in the almost even width of the wings. The very short 

 antennfe and the unusual form of the anal appendages seem 

 to justify the creation of a new genus for its reception. 



794(2). Brachygonia angulicostana, sp. n. 



Antennce^ palpi, and head dark brownish fuscous. Thorax 

 dark brownish fuscous, sprinkled with brownish cinereous
