posteriorly. Fore icings dark brownish fuscous at the base, 

 thence somewhat sprinlded with brownish cinereous, giving 

 them a paler appearance outwardly ; with a small pale 

 ochreous spot at the end of the cell, a dark brownish fuscous 

 patch on the fold below the middle of the wing, and a fascia- 

 form band of dark brownish fuscous running parallel with the 

 outer margin to within the lornus; this is sometimes broken 

 up into two or more patches ; tiie termen and costa are in- 

 distinctly blotched with dark brownish fuscous ; cilia brownish 

 cinereous, darker along their base. Exp. al. 19 mm. Hind 

 wings dull brown, dark brownish fuscous inclining to purplish 

 fuscous at the base ; cilia pale cinereous, with a brownish 

 cinereous shade running through them near their base. Ab- 

 domen cinereous, clouded with purplish fuscous above on the 

 middle. Legs pale cinereous. 



Type, ^ (7055.^) ; ? (70573) Mus. Wlsm. 



Hab. Japan {Pryer, 1S86). Three specimens.

 (^i/fpo'y = little ; Acdpo-?7r = one who wears his hair short.) 



Type ((5') Microcorses marginifasciatus, Wlsm. 



Antennce less than half the length of the fore wings; 

 ( (J ) stout, slightly pubescent. Pa/jri short, porrect, projecting 

 but little beyond the head ; median joint closely clothed ; 

 terminal joint not very distinct. Head moderately smooth. 

 Thorax stout, not tufted. Fore wings elongate, narrow at 

 the base, widened outwardly ; costa straight, (^ without a 

 fold, apex rounded; termen oblique, straight; dorsum mode- 

 rately straight, slightly convex towards the base. Neuration, 

 12 veins, all separate; 7 to termen. Hind loings broader 

 than the fore wings, termen slightly excavate below the apex, 

 thence evenly rounded ; (^ with a small but distinct thick- 

 ening or brush of scales above the base of vein 1, covered 

 by a small fold or fiap. Neuration^ 8 veins ; 3 and 4 connate ; 

 5 bent over towards origin of 4 ; 6 and 7 separate, but closely 

 approximate at the extreme base. Abdomen stout. Legs^ 

 posterior tibiae slightly hairy above. 



The type has somewhat the appearance of a Gnephasia; it 

 is, however, coarsely and roughly clothed. The antennge are 

 much shorter and stouter, and it is apparently allied to 

 Brachygonia, Wlsm., which differs in the angle at the base of 

 the fore wings and in the absence of the tuft and flap of the 

 hind wings.
