Mesoorapiie, Hub. 



Type M. straminah's, Hiib. [M. stramentalisj Hiib. Vcrz. 

 p. 354). 



MesograpJie junctalis, sp. n. 



Fore wings straw-colour, with the basal third and the hind 

 margin broadly bronzy fuscous ; the fuscous tinge of the basal 

 area extends further along the costa and inner margin, so that 

 its outer edge is concave ; reniform stigma tilled up with 

 fuscous, connected above with the dark costa and obliquely 

 below with the marginal band ; fringes fuscous. Hind 

 wings straw-colour, with the same margin as fore wings and 

 a broadish fuscous-grey inner edge. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen bronzy fuscous, the latter ringed with paler. Under- 

 side like upper, but less distinctly coloured. 



Expanse of wings 24 millim. 



One male from Japan. 



Akin to M. liinhaia, but slightly smaller and darker. 



Anomostictis, gen. nov. 



Diasiicfis (Hiib. Verz. p. 355), of which the type is argy- 

 rah's (Hub. Zutr. figs. 113, 114), cannot stand, as it was 

 already employed by Hiibner himself at p. 288 of the ' Vcr- 

 zeichniss ' for a genus of Geometra^, with aHesiaria^ Schitf., 

 for type. 



I ])roj)Ose to substitute the above term for Diostictis, to 

 include argyralis, Wwh. ^fracluralis^ Zell., and cacalisy \\ix\v. 



Anomostictis ccecah's, sp. n. 



Fore wings dull fuscous, sometimes with a suffusion of 

 fulvous, slightly jtaler on the inner side of the exterior line ; 

 lines and stigmata very obscure; first line liardly distin- 

 guishable at all, owing to the deeper suffusion near the base ; 

 exterior line rectangularly sinuous, forming a distinct sinus 

 outwards in the middle and a smaller curve inwards above 

 and below it ; reniform stigma a dark dot. Hind wings 

 slightly paler, more fulvous, and darker towards hind margin, 

 with the exterior line of fore wings reproduced. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen very dark fuscous. Underside slightly 

 paler, with the markings also indistinct. 



Expanse of wings 18-24 millim. 



One female, two males, from California. 



The single female is intermediate in size between the two 

 males.
