cream-colour ; anal segment tipped and spotted with grey ; wings 

 below cream-coloured, sericeous, with stramineous reflections ; 

 markings on primaries less strongly denned than above ; fringe 

 whitish, spotted with grey ; body below sericeous, cream-coloured. 

 Expanse of wings, 17 mm.

LEUCOPHOTIS, n. g. 



Allied to Agathodes (A. ostentalis) ; with similar neuration ; 

 style of coloration of Leucinodes ; body very robust, palpi erect, 

 one-third of their length being visible above the top of the head, 

 compressed, but not so broad as in Agathodes, and with prominent 

 terminal joint ; antennae extending to about second third of 

 primaries, serrated and finely penicillated along their inner or 

 anterior surface ; tegulae large, expanded, almost entirely covering 

 the thorax, abdomen extending about half its length beyond the 

 secondaries, dorsally keeled and tufted, and with five tufts on each 

 side ; wings broad, as in Margarodes. 



72. Leucophotis pulchra, n. s. 



Wings semitransparent, yellowish ; basi-internal area of pri- 

 maries above clay-coloured, crossed by two subbasal dull blackish 

 bars, shot with steel-blue ; a third oblique interrupted blackish bar 

 running from the middle of the inner margin to the end of the 

 cell ; discoidal spots near together, annular, ferruginous, with 

 yellowish centres ; an irregular subapical blue-black patch, edged 

 internally by a slender white line, but externally bounded by a 

 diffused ferruginous border; an indistinct undulated ferruginous 

 and ochreous submarginal line curving inwards towards costa; 

 secondaries with a rather broad abbreviated oblique band of blue- 

 black, with ferruginous edges, from the middle of the radial 

 interspace across the end of the cell to the submedian vein, up 

 which it runs almost to the base, a subbasal brown spot ; an 

 angular subapical blue-glossed blackish patch bordered externally 

 with reddish ochraceous, and partly confluent with an irregularly 

 sinuated ochreous submarginal line; head above yellow, banded 

 with ferruginous ; antennae ferruginous ; collar reddish testaceous ; 

 tegulae pale greyish brown, opaline in certain lights; abdomen 

 greyish brown, reddish at the base ; lateral tufts with a plumbageous 

 gloss ; under surface sericeous cream-colour ; the discs of the wings 

 semitransparent ; an abbreviated transverse black bar from the cell 

 almost to the inner margin in all the wings, and the subapical 

 angulated black patches of the upper surface ; front pair of legs
