longer fore wings, with more oblique hind margin, as well as 

 by the absence of any trace of submarginal fascia. It .igrees 

 with Orthospila in tlie possession of the black abtloininal 

 spots and in the distinctly darker markings, but the second 

 line is not aiigulated but sinuous. 



Type Phmdropsis chromalis, Guen. (Asopia). 



Ortuospila. 



Closely related to Haritala, Moore, but hirger, with broader 

 and ampler wings ; distinguished, (1) by tiie character of the 

 markings, which are distinct and straight, not curved, the 

 second transverse line being twice sharply angulated ; (2) by 

 the presence of a black spot on the last segment of the abdo- 

 men of tlie female and on the penultimate segment of the 

 male, whereas in Haritala the abdomen is unmarked, iioth 

 genera agree in having a curved subuiarginal fascia between 

 tiie second line and the hind margin ; but in Haritala the 

 fascije are all four yellow on a white ground and undulating ; 

 the costa with three distinct costal black spots. 



Type Orthosijila plutusalisj Wlk. [Zehronia). 



Tetridia. 



Distinguished by at least four peculiarities in the structure 

 of the male : these are, (1) the extraordinary length of the 

 antennae, which considerably exceed that of the fore wings ; 

 (2) the shape of the labial palpi, like a hawk's beak ; (.']) the 

 lateral tufts of hairs on the third segment of the abdomen ; 

 (4) the bed of raised scales on the upper surface of the fore 

 wing at the anal angle. The outline of the wings recalls the 

 Noctuid genus CuculUa. 



Type T. vinaceah's, Moore {Botys). 



PSEUDANALTHES. 



Analthes, Led., has the labial palpi in the male resembling 

 those of Nosopkora, Led. : in Pseudanalthes, however, they do 

 not differ from those of the female, being curved upwards in 

 front of the face and sickle-shaped, with the last joint long 

 and pointed. The antennae of the male, judging from 

 Lederer's description, must be very much like those of his 

 genus Spargeta, which I have not seen ; but the male abdo- 

 men is without the anal tuft characteristic of that genus. 



Type Pseudanalthes idyalis, Wlk. {Botys). 



Pardomima. 



Fore wings with straight costa, blunt apex, and rounded
