Antharmostes. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 6, p. 21 (1899). 
Characters. — Face smooth, Palpus moderate, second joint moderately rough-scaled above 
and beneath, third joint in c small, in Q quite moderate, partly concealed. Tongue present. Antenna 
in cf bipectinate to beyond one-half with rather short branches, then becoming dentate-ciliate and 
finally simply ciliated; in Q nearly simple. Pectus moderately hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in c 
dilated, with hair-pencil, in both sexes with four unequal spurs, only the inner median long. Hind- 
tarsus in cf short. Abdomen usually slightly crested. Frenulum in gf moderately strong, from before 
slight basal expansion, retinaculum rather near base of forewing; Q frenulum wanting (in fafilio appar- 
ently vestigial). Forewing with costa arched in distal half, apex acute, termen faintly waved, usually 
somewhat bent or elbowed in middle, cell less than one-half, DC curved, SC! free, SC? normal, R! very 
shortly stalked or separate, M! about connate; hindwing with termen faintly waved and with a tail 
at R?, tornus pronounced, inner margin long, cell short, DC? inbent, C closely approximated to cell to 
near one-half, rapidly diverging, SC? stalked (exceptionally connate), M! stalked. 
Early stages unknown. 
'The more normally-shaped form (imteralbicams) comes very near to Gelasma, and is not easy to 
differentiate definitely therefrom on the characters at present used, the abdominal crests being inconstant 
and always very slight; yet it is a question whether the generic relationship is really close.

0 Hypbocoela zapluta, nov. sp. — 5,29 mm. Palpus quite short (less than diameter of eye), tongue apparently more or less aborted. 
Antennal pectinations very short. Abdomen with small but distinct crests. Face blackish, mixed with reddish fuscous. Tip of palpus and outside of foreleg 
reddish fuscous, darker marked. Thorax above concolorous with forewing, abdomen above reddish fuscous, the crests darker. Forewing broad, apex 
produced but rounded, termen with rounded excision between SC* and R3; olive-green, mixed, especially along veins, with reddish fuscous, the distal 
one-third, from R! to inner margin, more densely mixed with reddish fuscous, which here becomes the prevailing hue; some indistinct darker marks at 
the anterior proximal edge of this terminal shade. Hindwing elongate, termen slightly incurved from. R* to R?, where it is produced to a strong angle or 
tail; bright orange, more reddish towards base; terminal area broadly reddish fuscous from the tail to inner margin, broadening slightly at the latter; 
inner margin very narrowly olive-green to near base, somewhat marked with fuscous. Both wings beneath bright orange, forewing with a dark discal spot 
and a series of large dark interneural spots from costa to R? at 2,5 mm. from termen. Fringes dark grey. Entebbe, Uganda, 1905 (E. A. Minchin). Type 
in coll. Brit. Mus. Related to /zrfisaria, with which it agrees in shape; but differing in the aberrant palpus, sharper tail of hindwing und much 
brighter coloration; se»rzfa is probably a still closer relative, but with a broad dark marginal band beneath. In the forewing SC! anastomoses with C, 
R*is separate, in the hindwing SC? is connate, or barely stalked.
