PLATYLESCHES, gen. nov. 
Allied to Parnara, Moore. The thorax and head are very broad, 
and the general appearance of the body is more robust than in 
Parnara. The antennae are more than half as long as the costa 
of the primaries, slender, terminating in a stout club, with a 
strongly recurved hook at its end. The palpi are broad, flattened 
horizontally, appressed, heavily clothed with long scales upon the 
first and second joints, and with the third joint (which is minute, 
acute, and situated on the outer edge of the horizontally widened 
second joint) naked. The wings are relatively somewhat narrower 
than in the genus Parnara, with the outer margin of the primaries 
nearly straight, or, as in P. picanini, Holl., slightly excavated 
above the outer angle. The secondaries are more or less lobed at 
the anal angle in the male. The neuration of the wings does not 
materially differ from that in Parnara, so far as I have been able 
to determine with the limited material at my disposal.

I only know this species from the type, which is preserved in 
the British Museum. It is a very robust insect, and very closely 
allied to H, nigerrima, Butl. 2) VE 2 ee utie
