the third fourth of the costal marg-in of primaries, rather slender 

 and ornamented throughout their length by short setjB on both 

 sides. Legs robust ; the fore pair shortest, the hind pair 

 longest, the latter with two unequal pairs of tibial spurs and a 

 compressed fringe of rather long bristles ; middle legs with a 

 terminal pair of tibial spurs. 



81. Latometus pilipes^ sp. n. (117). 



Primaries above shining cream-white, with a longitudinal 

 subcostal olivaceous stripe from base to apex ; a second very 

 indistinct interno-median stripe and an abbreviated dorsal 

 stripe; fringe pale testaceous or sordid buff: secondaries 

 greyish brown, with bronze reflections : thorax greyish brown, 

 with a few white scales, most numerous round the collar, and 

 with a slight pearly gloss in certain lights ; antennaj blackish ; 

 palpi pearl-white ; abdomen wanting in the type. Wings below 

 shining greyish brown ; pectus plumbaginous grey, glisten- 

 ing ; legs greyish brown, with the lower margins of the femora 

 glittering golden opaline. Expanse of wings 21 millim. 



One example. 



Although this species appears to have some affinity to the 

 preceding one, many of its structural characters being similar, 

 it bears no resemblance to it in the form and coloration of its 

 wings, which are more like those of Goleophora. 



Zacokus, gen. nov. 

 Aspect of SciapMla {S. Gouana) ; wings of the same general 

 size and form ; neuration quite different. Primaries below 

 grooved at base of costal vein, as in the two preceding genera ; 

 costal vein extending to beyond the middle of the margin ; sub- 

 costal with five branches, of which the first three are emitted 

 before the end of the cell, and the last two from a long foot- 

 stalk emitted from the anterior angle of the cell ; radial emitted 

 from the discocellulars as usual ; three median branches emitted 

 near together at the inferior extremity of the cell ; submedian 

 normal. Secondaries with similar venation to that of the two 

 preceding genera, excepting that the first median branch is 

 emitted further from the two others. Thorax very robust, 

 smooth. Head rather woolly, but with the soft hair projecting 

 forwards and smooth on the vertex ; palpi very long and en- 

 siform, projecting obliquely about five times the length of the 

 head beyond the front of it ; antennae slender, simple, ex- 

 tending to about three fifths of the length of the costal margin of 

 primaries. Abdomen smooth, sericeous. Legs rather robust, 

 the femora compressed ; posterior legs with the tibial and 

 tarsal joints fringed at the extremities with stiff short bristles.
