laterally flattened, and porrected forward and downwards, 

 resembling a stork's beak : leg's hairy ; the tibiae all with

Type P. tn'tonalis, Walk. (Pyralis), xix. p. 906. 



GONODISCUS, gen. nov. 



Fore wings elongate ; costa straight ; apex blunt ; hind 

 margin obliquely curved. Hind wings rounded, very broad. 

 Antennae (female) filiform, basal joint swollen ; labial palpi 

 erect in front of face, terminal joint rising considerably above 

 vertex ; maxillary palpi distinct, erect, half as long as labial ; 

 tongue and ocelli present ; scaling smooth and fine. Neura- 

 tion : fore wing with the cell elongate ; first median nervule 

 rising at four fifths, second just before end, third and lower 

 radial close together from the end ; upper radial and last 

 subcostal nervule near together from upper end of cell ; with- 

 out denuding, which is impossible in the case of the single 

 specimen, I cannot make out the position of the rest to state 

 them precisely. Hind wings with the discocellular much 

 bent, the upper third short and perpendicular, the lower por- 

 tion running obliquely outwards, three times as long as the 

 upper ; median nervules as in fore wing ; costal concave in 

 middle, with its upper nervule curved upwards towards the 

 apex, the lower one straight. 



Type O. amplaliSj Warr. 



In the absence of the male the proper place of this species 

 and genus must remain uncertain.

Fore wings whitish grey, dusted with darker grey and 

 some dull tawny patches; an indistinct blackish fascia close

 dentated, curved outwards in its upper half, and followed by 

 a paler space ; an indistinct dark cell-spot ; space between 

 second and third lines palest, except on costa and inner 

 margin, which are greyer ; in the submarginal field at the 

 anal angle is an ill-defined tawny blotch ; fringes grey, like 

 the fore wings. Hind wings dull whitish, with the costa and 

 apex dull fuscous ; an indistinct curved central fascia. Head,
