and at the same distance on its other side in the direction 

 of the anal angle are a few scattered scales of the same 

 colour ; some small paler scales are widely scattered 

 over the general surface of the wing. A straight 

 purplish fuscous streak occupies the middle of the apical 

 margin, extending downwards into the cilia above the 

 anal angle, and upwards towards the costa near the 

 apex, giving a square appearance which does not 

 correspond to the actual shape of the wing margin. 

 Hind wings narrow, ovate, rather shining, very pale 

 cinereous, small in proportion to the upper wings. Ex- 

 panse, 15 mm. 



This species appears to agree more closely with 

 (Ecophora than with any other genus, but the hind 

 wings are unusually small, and I am unwilling to denude 

 the only specimen in the collection to ascertain its 

 neuration.

TEBATOPSIS, n. g. 



Capilli hirsuti ; ore levi. Ocelli nulli. Haustellum 

 mediocre, squamatum. Palpi maxillares brevissimi supra 

 haustellum conniventes. Palpi labiales erecti verticem 

 superantes, articulo secundo quam tertio bis longiore, 

 tertio squamis rudibus ante apicem aliquot incrassato, 

 apice acuminato. Antennae supra subserratae. Alae 

 anticae costa ante medium perarcuata margine postico 

 subobliquo, vena apicali furcata. Alae posticae sat latae 

 cellula clausa. Tibiae posticae hirsute pilosae. 



Head rough above, face smooth. Ocelli none. Tongue 

 of moderate length, scaled. Maxillary palpi short, 

 meeting over the tongue. Labial palpi erect, slightly 

 overreaching the vertex, the third joint about half the 

 length of the second, roughly scaled in the middle, with 

 the apex acuminate. Antennae slightly serrated above. 

 Fore wings quadrangular, the costa sharply arched before 

 the middle, the apical margin rather oblique ; anal angle 

 with long cilia. The apical vein forked, all the others 

 single. Hind wings rather broad, rounded at the tip, 

 not emarginate below the apex. Hind tibiae thickly 

 clothed with coarse hair-like scales. Spurs short. 



This genus seems to be allied to Cryptolechia. The 

 apical joint of the palpi, which is somewhat coarsely
