Genera and Species of ^yrd\\di?Q. 495 



Blepharocerus sabulosus^ sp. n. 



Fore wing sandy ochreous, dusted with darker, with the 

 two transverse lines just visibly paler, curved and slightly 

 angulated at one third from the inner margin, rather darker 

 on tlie extreme costa ; base of fringes, which are concolorous 

 with ground-colour of wings, preceded by a row of dark 

 indistinct dots. Hind wing like the fore wing, but dusted 

 with fuscous ; base of fringes more continuously darker. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen, underside and legs, all ochreous, 

 dusted with darker, but fore tibiee and tarsi darker, with 

 segments only lighter. 



Expanse of wings, ? 22 millim. 



One female from Chili. 



CONDYLOLOMIA, Grote. 



Type C. ])art{cipialiSj Gr. Bull. Buff. Soc. N. Sc. i. p. 176, 

 pi. V. fig. 45. 



Condylolomia duhia, sp. n. 



Closely allied to C. parttdpmliSjGr., from North A merica, 

 but with the front wings narrower, costa straighter, more 

 pronounced apex, and obliquer and straighter hind margin : 

 fore wings redder, only pale at the base of the inner margin, 

 with two indistinct darker fasciae, the first basal oblique, 

 fading away in the middle of the wing, the second oblique, 

 sinuous and recurved towards the costa ; fringe reddish 

 brown. Hind wings grey, paler than in C. pai-ticipialis. 



One female from Rio Janeiro, of the same size as C. parti- 

 cipialis. In that species, of which only three males are in 

 the British-Museum Collection, there is no trace of a basal 

 fascia, and the second is represented by a -pale upright curve, 

 internally darker edged. 



Pyralis, Linn. 



Type P.farinalis^ Linn. 



The species of Treitschke's genus Asopia, as given by 

 Lederer, follow two type forms : — (1) those with the labial 

 palpi simply upcurved in front of tlie forehead and concave 

 to it, the terminal joint being pointed and continuing the 

 curve ; (2) those with the labial palpi at first ascending, but 

 with the third joint thrown forwards, and so breaking the 

 continuity of the curve. For the one I retain the Linnean 

 term Pyralis, and for the other adopt HUbner's generic name 

 IJypsopyf/ia.
