Genera and Species of Pyralide. 475 
Monocrocis, gen. nov. 
Distinguished from Sclerocona, Meyr., Mesotympana, Warr., 
and allied genera by the male having on the underside of fore 
wings only a small tuft of curled raised scales beyond the upper 
angle of the cell, which is about half as long as the wings. 
The retinaculum is not at all enlarged, and there is no appa- 
rent distortion of the cell or nerves. 
Type Monocrocis flavofasciata, Moore (Hapalia). 
LEPIDOPLAGA, gen. nov. 
Fore wings elongate; costa straight till shortly before 
apex, then slightly curved; apex produced, pointed; hind 
margin oblique; anal angle obtuse. Hind wings narrow, 
with both angles and the hind margin rounded. Forehead 
slightly produced below, forming a slope ; labial palpi rostri- 
form, porrect, bent, decumbent; maxillary palpi present ; 
tongue well developed; antenne of male long, filiform. 
Neuration: cell not half as long as wing, with a depression 
beyond it above, which is covered on the underside by a flat 
tuft of glossy scales ; scale-crest below the retinaculum, on 
the submedian fold, strongly developed. 
Type Lepidoplaga flavicinctulis, Snell. 
Lepidoplaga fulvidalis, sp. n. 
Fore wings yellowish fulvous, with deeper fulvous 
markings; costa broadly deep fulvous, also the basal area; a 
blotch contiguous to the costal streak over the discocellular, 
and containing the small fovea, which is conspicuously im- 
pressed; exterior line curved outwards to the first median, 
then running in to below the discocellular, and thence running 
straight to inner margin; a broad curved submarginal fascia. 
Hind wings paler, with the exterior curved line and submar- 
ginal fascia darker fulvous ; fringes concolorous. Head, face, 
thorax, and abdomen all deep fulvous; pectus and lowest 
joint of palpi white; fore legs white, with brown patches. 
Underside of wings and abdomen and the other legs pale 
gilded yellow ; the scale-tufts paler. 
Expanse of wings 24 millim. 
One male from the Khasias. 
In markings very much resembling Lepidoplaga uniformis, 
but quite different in coloration.
