outer margin, the shorter fringe, and the deeper colouring of the 

 male abdomen, readily distinguish this species from Hopffer's 

 L. gracilis. 



180. LOPERA MONOSTICTA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 7.) 

 Nearest to L. pallida, Kirby, but the primaries creamy white, 



with a single small orange spot at the end of the cell ; secondaries 

 sericeous, snow-white ; head ochreous ; antennae white, with 

 testaceous pectinations ; front of thorax, including the collar and 

 anterior two-thirds of pterygodes, creamy white, remainder of body 

 snow-white; under surface white ; the basal half of costal margin 

 of primaries buff; the collar below and the anterior coxae ochreous. 

 Expanse of wings 27 millim.

181. ILEMA EOBUSTA ? 



Acyphas robusta, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. iv. p. 799 (1855). 

 d , Taru, 23rd November, 1896. 

 A fragment, much rubbed, apparently referable to this species. 



ACLONOPHLEBIA, gen. nov. 



Near to Euproctis, but totally dissimilar in aspect, altogether 

 far less woolly ; the head much more prominent, the palpi short, 

 but very broadly fringed ; pectinations of antennae much coarser ; 

 legs much less hairy, the hind tibiae with only the terminal pair of 

 spurs, which are much more conical ; the neuration very similar, 

 but the subcostal veins of the secondaries (veins 6 and 7) not 

 emitted from a footstalk, but near together from the anterior 

 angle of the cell. Type A. flavinotata. 



182. ACLONOPHLEBIA FLAVINOTATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 8.) 



$ . Primaries above lilacine grey clouded with brown ; a regular 

 biangulated dark brown line across the middle of the wing, 

 bordered broadly inside with whitish and outside with brownish ; 

 costal and interno-basal borders brownish ; sometimes a black spot 

 in the cell ; a large diffused chrome-yellow patch beyond the lower 

 angle of the cell, and a line of the same colour edging the central 

 angulated line between its alternate angles ; fringe pale stramineous 

 indistinctly spotted with brownish : secondaries pale stramineous. 

 Thorax grey ; head, collar, and patagia clothed with testaceous hairs ; 

 antennas grey, with darker pectinations ; abdomen fulvous. Under 

 surface stramineous, costal borders of wings ochraceous ; primaries 

 with a greyish spot at end of cell, indicating part of the central 

 band of the upper surface ; tarsi with greyish bands. Expanse of 

 wings 27-32 millim.

Unfortunately only two examples, varying in size and also 

 differing somewhat in pattern, were obtained,
