cell dusted with grey ; a submarginal series of ochreous lunules ; 
a partly zigzag dusky marginal border, interrupted on the fringe 
by ochreous spots : secondaries with a slender black marginal line : 
body below deep ochreous; tibix, tarsi, and venter more or less 
blackish. Expanse of wings 55 millim.

It is possible that this species may eventually be separated from 
Phalera as the type of a new genus, but at present there does not 
seem sufficient evidence of the importance of the characters which 
differentiate it to warrant its being thus distinguished; the width 
of the wings and the antennal characters are not uniform in the 
genus, whilst the position of the upper radial is the same as in

SCOTINOCHROA, gen. noy. 
Allied to Coswma, neuration the same ; antenne longer and more 
uniformly pectinated ; palpi totally dissimilar—much longer, falci- 
form, the second joint long, subcylindrical, somewhat flattened 
internally, directed obliquely upwards, third joint half the length 
of the second, somewhat acuminate ; tarsi of front pair of legs not 
fringed as in Coswma, and those of the second and third pairs 
rather penicillated than fringed, each joint having a fairly well- 
defined separate flattened tuft at the back. 
133. ScorINoCHROA INCONSEQUENS, sp. n. 
Primaries above vinaceous chocolate-brown, sprinkled with 
shining, mostly leaden-grey scales ; a D-shaped spot at the end of the 
cell, connate with an oblique irregular band from costa near apex 
to inner margin, this band is narrowest and inarched at its upper 
extremity, widest towards the inner margin; both spot and band 
are mostly whity brown externally and shining leaden grey in the 
middle, and are bounded internally by irregular black dashes and 
externally by a black line; from the cell downwards the inner 
margin of the band is zigzag and the outer margin undulated, and 
followed by an abbreviated similar band, which, however, has no 
leaden central scales (and therefore stands out as a pale patch with 
undulated outer margin): secondaries pale sericeous vinaceous, 
showing slight greenish reflections in certain lights; the abdominal 
border and base of fringe sienna or golden brownish; centre of
