478 Mr. W. Warren on neio Genera oj Pyralidie. 



hind margin; labial palpi stout, upcurved in front of face; 

 male antennae shortly pubescent ; lines and margins of stig- 

 mata coarse, the former abruptly bent ; last abdominal 

 segment of female and last two of the male dark marked 

 above. 



Distinguished from Arthromastix Jauralis [Salbia lauralis, 

 Guen.) and Notliomastix chromalis {Botys chromaliSy Wlk.), 

 with which it otherwise agrees, by the simple male antennas 

 and un tufted legs. 



Type P. amyntusalisj Wlk. [Botys). 



Orphanostigma. 



Intermediate between Hedylepta^ Led., and Chnaura and 

 JEthaloessa of the same author. Distinguished from Hedy- 

 lepta by the absence of the long thoracic tegulai in the male, 

 and from the others by the shorter, rougher, and blunter 

 labial palpi. In colouring and markings it agrees more with 

 the former, but Iledylepta shows a distinct orbicular stigma, 

 which is entirely wanting in Orphanostigmj. 



Type 0. ahruptalis, Wlk. {Asopia?). 



Aplomastix. 



Allied to Stenia and Blepharomastix^ Led., but with up- 

 curved instead of porrect palpi ; from Pterygisus, Butler, with 

 which it agrees in the form of the palpi, it is distinguished by 

 having in the male thickly laminated antennge, not ciliated, but 

 simply finely pubescent beneath, and with the basal joint 

 swollen. 



Type A. moninalisy Wlk [Asopia). 



Opisthedeicta. 



This genus is akin to the first division (A) of Snellen's 

 Oh'gostigma, cf. Tijd. v. Ent. xix. 1876, p. 189, for which I 

 liave proposed the generic term Microdracori. Opisthedeicta^ 

 however, is characterized by a peculiar formation in the hind 

 wings of the male. The intraneural space between the first 

 and third median nervules, from their origin to close upon the 

 hind margin, is bare of scales above and below, and in the 

 centre of this bare patch underneath there is visible a short 

 fine black dash. In the formation of the labial palpi and 

 antennte it agrees with J^Licrodracon. 



Type Op. poritialis^y^W. [Oligostigma).
