a common stem from the upper angle of cell, the 5th starting half- 

 way ; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, one after the other, in the order named. 

 Hind M'ings with the cell broad and the discocellular angulated ; 

 the subcostal nervules on a common stem.

2 . Fore wings olive, suffused with darker ; basal patch small, 

 velvety black, finely edged with white, not reaching the inner 

 margin ; central fascia interrupted in the middle ; costal portion 

 shaped something like an hour-glass, velvety black, edged with 

 white ; lower portion short, of the ground-colour, toad-stool 

 shaped, edged with whitish ; submarginal line sinuous, irregular, 

 white, twice interrupted ; fringes olive, with darker dots at end of

 of veins. Head, thorax, and abdomen olive. Underside ashy, with 

 the basal half of both wings darker.

[A pair of tliis distinct species are all I have seen. I collected 

 them on Sundukpho at about 12,000 feet in July. — ff. J. E.] 



EuRTPEPLODES, gen. nov. 



Fore \\-ings ample, ^-ith costa curved throughout, and with an 

 indistinct bulge about 4 from the base : apex blunt ; hind margin 

 evenly and strongly curved. Hind wings broad, rounded ; hind 

 margni slightly elbowed below the middle. Antennae, $ , simple, 

 slender ; forehead decidedly projecting ; tongue present ; palpi as 

 in Iramha, long, rostriform, loosely scaled beneath. jVeuration : — 

 Fore wing : cell half the length of the wing ; discocellular curved 

 and oblique ; 1st median nervule at |- ; 2nd shortly before end ; 

 3rd from the end ; the median nervure between the 2nd and 3rd 

 inclined upwards ; lower radial from a little above the centre of 

 the discocellular ; areole simple but large ; upper radial from just 

 above its lower angle ; 5th subcostal from just below its upper 

 angle ; 1st subcostal also just before the upper end ; 4th from 

 the upper angle ; 2nd and 3rd out of 4th at 1 and f respectively. 

 Hind wings : cell unusually broad, somewhat contorted ; costal 

 anastomosing with subcostal to near the end of cell ; 2 subcostals 

 on a common stem ; discocellular subangulated ; radial from the 

 angulation ; median nervules as in fore wings. 



Tj-pe, Euritpejilodes irambato, sp. n. 



The genus seems intermediate between Hydrelia and Eupithecia, 

 having the shape and markings of the former, with the raised cell- 

 spot of the latter, and the palpi of Iramba. I have not seen a J • 



EuBYPEPLODBS IRAMBATA, sp. n. (Plate XXX. fig. 8.) 



S • Fore wings pinkish testaceous, with a succession of darker, 

 slightly u avy lines, angulated on the subcostal, and darker thence to 

 the costa ; those forming the edges of the central fascia show as small
