KOREMALEPIS, — PTEALIS. 129 



KOREMALEPIS, g. u. 



Male. Palpi upturned, reacliing above the apex of the head, heavily scaled to the tips. 

 Antennas closely ciliated at the base, the cilia reduced in length towards the tip ; patagia 

 produced into long brushes, extending backwards to the end of the second segment of 

 abdomen. 



Female. With the second joint of the palpi less heavily scaled ; the antennae simple ; the 

 patagia normal. 



Allied to Stemmatophora and Pyralis, differing from the former in the upturned palpi, 

 from the latter in the ciliated antennae of the male, and from both in the elongated brush-like 

 patagia.

Expanse, ,^1, $ If inch. 



Male and female. Wings clad with dark-red and brown scales. Fore wing with ante- 

 medial and postmedial narrow ochreous bands, slightly waved in the male, nearly straight in 

 the female ; some pale specks on the costa between the two bands. Hind wing with the 

 bands antemedial and medial and approaching each other towards the anal angle. Both 

 wings with an antecilial pale line. Underside with an indistinct dark spot at the end of cell 

 of each wing and the outer of the two bands only. Male with the brushes of the patagia 

 black. 



Pyralis latisfascia. (Plate CLIV. fig. 8.) 



Expanse f—^ inch. 



Male. Antennae simple. Fore wing ochreous grey ; a black, slightly waved, and 

 outwardly-oblique antemedial band ; a similar but nearly erect postmedial one, outwardly- 

 angled at third median and submedian veins ; the area between these two bands suffused with 

 black, so as to form in appearance one wide medial band, with a black spot on it at end of 

 cell, and the costa above it with black streaks alternating with grey ones; outer area irrorated 

 with black ; a series of antecilial black spots. Hind wing fuscous, with pale and black ante- 

 cilial lines. Underside suffused with black ; both wings with an irregular postmedial band 

 and spot at end of cell, which sometimes is very indistinct.
