the middle, comparatively straight beyond, but slightly depressed 

 before the apex,termen somewhat oblique, tornus rounded, dorsum 

 straight. Neuration, 12 veins ; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex ; 2 and 3 

 from a recurved stalk, the others separate. Hlndwings trapezoidal, 

 broader than the f orewings, slightly sinuate beneath apex, and con- 

 cave between abdominal angle and tornus, cilia f ; <$ with a 

 long narrow naked fold on the upper side between vein Ib and Ic 

 containing a pencil of long fine expansible hairs. Neuration, fi 

 veins ; 2 absent, 3 and 4 coincident, 5 nearer to 6 than to 3 + 4, 

 6 and 7 closely approximated, Ib with a long and distinct fork. 

 A bdomen slender, somewhat flattened. Legs, hind tibiae smooth. 



Allied to Ypsolophus, F., but differing conspicuously 

 in the hindwiugs in the absence of vein 2, in the coin- 

 cidence of veins 3 and 4, in the approximation of 5 to 6, 

 and in the fold containing a long hair-pencil between Ib 

 and Ic. 



Pappophorus eurynotus, sp. n. (PL IT., fig. 4.) 



Antennce pale fawn, faintly annulate with brown. Palpi pale 

 fawn on their inner sides, with a well-marked triangular brown 

 shade externally on the second joint, leaving a pale margin along 

 the upper edge of the projecting tuft ; apical joint dark fuscous. 

 Head and thorax pale fawn. Foreivlngs whitish fawn, shaded with 

 umber-brown along the dorsal half and on the costa beyond the 

 middle ; a small black spot at the extreme base of the costa, 

 another, wedge-shaped, at the end of the discal cell, scarcely above 

 the middle of the wing ; a larger blackish patch (variable in size and 

 shape) half-way between this and the base (its lower portion some- 

 times forming a black line in the middle of the fold) ; along the 

 outer side of the bulged portion of the costa commences an umber- 

 brown shade, which continues to the apex (shading downwards to 

 chestnut-brown along its middle in some specimens) but interrupted 

 by three slender whitish streaks, the first of which is very oblique, 

 passing across the discal nervules and angulated downwards at a 

 point before the termen, but above the middle of the wing, hence 

 it reverts to the dorsum at the commencement of the dorsal cilia ; 

 the other two small and inconspicuous whitish streaks precede the 

 apex, and the termen and apex are margined by a line of the same 

 colour, containing a series of three or four blackish spots ; cilia 

 chestnut-brown on their basal half, fawn -brown externally. Exp. 

 al , 16 mm. Hindwings dark umber-brown ; cilia scarcely paler but 

 chestnut-brown at the apex ; <$ with an expansible white hair-
