Differs from Stauroptis, to whieli it is closely allied, by having two pairs 

 of spurs on posterior tibiae. My examples differ in the antennae of both sexes 

 being bipeetinate except towards apex and in 12 of the hindwings being only 

 approximated and not connected with cell; but these latter differences may not 

 be constant. It is possible that this genus may be the same as Netria Wlk. and 

 Desmeocraera Wlgrn. ; if so, it extends to India and Africa.

d". 20-23 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous, more or less mixed with 

 brown and partly tinged with green. Palpi about 1, ascending; whitish-ochreous, 

 on upper surface fuscous. Antennae fuscous; pectinations in c? very long, 

 ceasing abruptly at three-fourths, thence simple. Abdomen brownish. Legs 

 brownish; anterior pair mixed with whitish and fuscous. Forewings rather 

 narrow, costa rather strongly arched, apex rounded, termen bowed, strongly 

 oblique; gTey-whitish or brown, finely irrorated throughout with greenish; three, 

 very slender, transverse, fuscous lines, sometimes indistinct or almost obsolete; 

 first from one-third costa inwardly-oblique and nearly straight to one-sixth dor- 

 sum; second from two-thirds costa, directed outwards parallel to costa, then bent 

 downwards, and soon after inwards obliquely to two-thirds dorsum, with a 

 slight median indentation; third subterminal, bowed outwards above and below 

 middle; cilia brown, with indistinct pale bars. Hindwings with termen strongly 

 rounded ; pale-brown ; a darker apical blotch irrorated with greenish ; cilia brown, 

 apices paler. 



I have redescribed this species, as a second example in Coll. Lyell shows 

 much better the characteristic lines in the forewing, which in the type are so 

 obscure that they escaped description.

c?. 46 mm. ?. 54 mm. Head whitish, on crown and lower half of face 

 mixed with brown. Palpi 1|, ascending; ochreous-whitish, upper surface 

 brown. Antennae brownish-fuscous; pectinations very long in c?, fairly 

 long in ?, ceasing rather abruptly at four-fifths, thence simple. Thorax 

 ochreous-whitish mixed with fuscous-brown. Abdomen ochreous-whitish, more 

 or less suffused or irrorated with brown. Leg's whitish-brown. Forewings sub- 

 oval, rather elongate, costa rather strongly arched, apex rounded, termen bowed, 

 strongly oblique; ochreous-whitish, finely irrorated with fuscous-brown and 

 greenish; markings dark fuscous-brown; a blotch on base of dorsum; a dentate 

 line from one-third costa, inwardly oblique, sharply bent outwards above costa 

 to end on one-third dorsum, closely followed by a similar parallel line, often partly 

 a triangular, subapieal, costal blotch containing some greenish irro-
