 whorl in the cell; a postraedial ?-shaped line; a white spot at lower angle of cell; some 

 oblique submarginal streaks ; a fine, almost marginal silvery white line. Hind wing fuscous. 



GONOPTERIN^. 



OXYGONITIS, g. n.

 outer margin of the fore wing being produced into a hook at the median nervules ; the outer 

 margin of the hind wing angled at the first median nervule ; the second and third median 

 nervules stalked. 



Oxygonitis sericeata. (Plate CLXIII. fig. 1.)

 Hind wing rather produced at apex ; the costal anastomosing with the subcostal to middle 

 of cell; the two subcostals on a very short footstalk; the radial from just above the lower 

 angle of the cell ; the second and third medians on a short footstalk.
