bordering which externally is a dark chocolate costal patch, 

 followed by a large oblique costal patch in the postniedian 

 area, which is straight on its inner edge but dentate exter- 

 nally; a waved and produced "and crenulate obscure pale 

 subterminal line ; subapical and costal area darkish brown ; 

 termen finely darkish brown, edged externally by a fine 

 defined cream-coloured line^ which has a sharp serration above 

 the middle and is slightly crenulated near the tornus. Second- 

 aries dirty brown. 



Expanse 34 mm.

Type in my collection. 



Rhopalocera. 



LiPTENINM. 



TUMEREPEDES, gen. nov. 



Palpi shortish, end segment naked and nearly as long as 

 the two first segments together; legs with the femora and 

 tibiae all swollen, the femora of the mid pair being least 

 swollen. Antennae shortish, tapering very slowly into a 

 narrow club, with segmental divisions marked and visible 

 under a low-power lens. Wings : primaries with costa very 

 highly arched at the base, then evenly curved to apex ; 

 termen produced evenly outwards, inner margin excised 

 from before the middle to near the tornus. Secondaries ample, 

 subovate, long, with termen fairly evenly rounded. Neura- 

 tion ; primaries with cell less than half the length of the 

 wing, veins 2 and 3 from near together from well before the 

 lower angle, 4 from the lower angle, 5 from tlie upper angle, 

 6 from the cell, 8 and 9 stalked on a very long stalk from 7, 

 which rises from about a quarter along the cell ; 10 and 11 

 long, the latter rising near the middle of the cell but rather 

 nearer the base than the end of the cell ; the low'er disco- 

 cellular markedly stronger than the upper part. Secondaries 

 with veins 3 and 4 stalked on a short stalk from the lower 

 angle of the cell, 5 from above the middle, 8 from the upper 

 angle, 7 from the cell, 8 shortish, highly arched at the base. 



Type, Tumerepedes jlava, B-B. 



This genus appears to be nearest to Nevia, but though the 

 neuration appears similar in the primaries (it is not so in the 

 secondaries), it is in reality quite different, and the cells in 

 both wings are diff'erent in shape.
