Mr, A. G. Butler on three ?ietv Moths 



minates just beyond the expansion, a little beyond the sub- 

 costal branch. 



The tail very easily becomes twisted or folded, rendering 

 it almost impossible to see the smaller branches, and there- 

 fore it is only by the examination of several examples that 

 one is enabled to describe it correctly ; no blame therefore is 

 due to Herr Rogenhofer for his failure to observe them in the 

 single specimen before him. 



Doratopteryx plumigera^ sp. n. (Fig. 1.) 



Primaries semitransparent fuliginous grey ; the discoidal 

 cell and interno-basal half golden fulvous ; veins black : 

 secondaries golden fulvous to the commencement of the tail, 

 the latter blackish, crossed by a belt of ochreous at the 

 commencement of its expansion, which is beyond the middle : 

 head and thorax shining pitch-brown ; collar and two spots 

 on the prothorax orange; abdomen dull orange, legs brown. 

 Expanse of wings 13-20 raillim. 



Mouth of the River Ozy, in dense brush ; on a large bush 

 of jessamine, on a fearfully hot day, about 11 a.m.
