[Continued from p. 160. ] 
HOMOPSYCHE, gen. nov. 
Aspect of the Homopterous genus Fata, but most nearly 
allied to Barsinella. Wings when closed taking much the 
same position as in Cacoecia: primaries broad, with arched 
costal margin, woolly, semitransparent, with strongly defined 
widely separated veins; discoidal cell long and narrow ; 
costal vein short, not extending to the middle of the margin ; 
subcostal with four branches, the first given off some distance 
before the end of the cell, the others beyond it; one radial 
emitted from the discocellulars (which are very oblique), so 
that it seems to be a fourth median branch ; the three median 
branches emitted widely apart: secondaries elongate, almost 
triangular, but with the angles rounded off, coarsely scaled, 
semitransparent, strongly veined; the cell rather long, but 
not particularly narrow, the subcostal forking beyond it; 
discocellulars angulated ; no radial vein. Body woolly, but 
the thorax, which is broad and short, almost naked above, so 
as to show its sutures*; anal tuft divided, very full, with the 
male harpagones very long, though slender; antertne with 
an extremely long woolly basal joint, the remainder being 
slender, naked, and with an inner series of fine very short 
sete; palpi very small and slender; proboscis rather large ; 
legs thick, but rather long, the tibize with short, rather slender, 
terminal spurs. 
43. Homopsyche nudarioides, sp. n. 
White ; the basal half of primaries with three equidistant 
pale-brown spots on both the costal and internal borders; a 
small darker-brown spot at the end of the cell; veins tipped 
with brown. Expanse of wings 20 millim. 
New Britain. 
44, Pallene? metalligera, sp. nu. 
Primaries above ochreous; the base and a large oblique 
spot before the middle of the internal border purplish opaline ; 
an ill-defined arched discal opaline silvery line expanding below 
the radial vein into a broad silver patch, which fills the ex- 
* This adds greatly to its likeness to a Homopteron.
