500 Mr. W. Warren on new Pyralida?. 



Galasa major, sp. n. 



Resembles G. rubidana, Walk., but a third as large again, 

 the costal concavity much slighter, the colour there not white, 

 but grey ; ground-colour not so deep a red ; the two trans- 

 verse lines not so distinctly marked, the space between them 

 on the costa grey ; a distinct black dot beyond the first line.

 fuscous and fringes again paler ; a small black dot near the 

 base. Head and thorax reddish ; abdomen dark grey. Under- 

 side of fore wings and apex of hind wings reddish, hind wing 

 whitish, with the costa grey ; origin of both fasciae plainly 

 indicated on the costa of both wings. 



Expanse of wings 24 millim. 



One female from Columbia, in the Zeller collection. 



Holoperas, gen. nov. 



Fore wings with costa very strongly curved from base to 

 apex, which is blunt ; hind margin obliquely curved. Hind 

 wings rounded, broader than fore wings. Antenna? in female 

 moniliform ; labial palpi porrected ; tongue present ; middle 

 and hind tibise fringed with tufts of hair. 



Type Holoperas innotata, Warr. 



The genus is akin to Galasa, Walk., but differs mainly in 

 having the costa strongly convex, while in Galasa it is very 

 visibly concave. 



Holoperas innotata, sp. n. 



Fore wings dull reddish grey, with darker dusting ; faint 

 traces of two transverse paler fascige at one third and two 

 thirds. Hind wing dark grey. Head, thorax, and palpi

 wings. Underside dull dark grey, the hind wings, except on 

 costa, lighter ; tufts of the tibia? blackish.

One female from Columbia, in the Zeller collection. 



ULIOSOMA, gen. nov. 



Characterized at once by the abdomen of the male, which 

 bears on each side a twisted tuft of yellowish hairs, rising 

 from its base and extending beyond the tip of the abdomen 

 itself. Fore wing short and broad, sharply convex close to 

 the base and slightly concave in the middle ; apex bluntly 

 rounded ; hind margin nearly vertical ; labial palpi porrect,
