46 Mr. A. (jr. Butler on the Genus Entomogramma. 



Entomogramma enervis. 



Phurys enervis, Swinhoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1890, p. 2.31. n. 352, pi. viil- 

 fig. 8. 



Kangoon. Type in Coll. B. M. 



Section g. 



Female with the second joint of the palpi broadly fringed 

 both in front and at the back with compressed hair-scales, 

 giving it a wedge-shaped form. 



Entomogramma obliqua. 

 Phurys obliqua, Moore, P. Z. S. 1867, p. 80. 

 Burma and Sikkim. In Coll. B. M. 



Section h. 



Second joint of palpi in male broadly fringed and com- 

 pressed. 



Entomogramma oblita. 



Thermesia oblita, Moore, Descf, Ind. Lep. Atk. ii. p. 1?6 (1882). 

 Khasia Hills and Chinn Hills. In Coll. B. M. 



Mr. Hampson also refers the Thermesia rivulosa of Walker 

 to Entomogramma ; but I think it differs so considerably as 

 hardly to warrant its being considered a section of this genus* 

 Both sexes have the third joint of the palpi extremely short, 

 much more so even than in E. pardus ; the legs are rather 

 more hairy than in Sections f and g ; the antennae of the 

 male are densely but finely fringed on the inside with short 

 ciliations, and at regular intervals emit single longer hairs on 

 both sides ; the secondaries of this sex also have the abdo- 

 minal border expanded and broadly fringed with long hair 

 towards the base. The button-like third joint of the palpi in 



t h sexes redeems this genus from the charge of being based 

 solely on secondary sexual characters, and therefore I propose 

 to call it Blasticorhinus.
