Philenora euphileta, n. sp. (ev^iXT/Tos, well beloved). 



$ , 15 mm. Head and thorax white. Palpi dark fuscous. 

 Antennae pale fuscous; in male shortly ciliated (^). Abdomen 

 pale ochreous. Legs ochreous; anterior pair with some pale- 

 fuscous suffusion. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa gently 

 arched, more strongly towards apex, apex rounded, termen 

 obliquely rounded; white; costal edge ochreous; a large fus- 

 cous blotch in disc beneath middle, where it extends from 

 \ to \, extending nearly to dorsum, where it is only half 

 as long ; a large pale-fuscous terminal suffusion not reaching 

 apex; cilia pale ochreous. Hindwings and cilia pale ochreous. 



One example. The type is wasted and the description 

 of the forewings is probably therefore inexact, but the species 

 is very distinct. 



Family GEOMETPIDAE. 



Subfamily LARENTIANAE. 



Xanthorrhoe ( ?) aphanta, n. sp. (a<f>avTo<s, inconspicuous). 



9, 24 mm. Head ochreous-whitish. Palpi 2J; ochreous- 

 whitish. Antennae ochreous-whitish. Thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs ochreous-whitish with some pale-brownish irroration. 

 Forewings triangular, costa straight to §, thence slightly 

 arched, apex round-pointed, termen slightly bowed, moder- 

 ately oblique; ochreous-whitish; markings fuscous-grey mixed 

 with brownish, a moderate basal patch, its outer margin 

 transverse, dentate; a slight suffusion beyond this; a broad 

 median band, its anterior edge from ^ costa to mid-dorsum, 

 concave, wavy; posterior edge from § costa to f dorsum, 

 wavy, with a single, prominent, rather obtuse, median tooth; 

 towards costa the middle part of median band is paler and 

 contains a transverse linear blackish discal mark ; three 

 rippled lines beyond median band, the last edged posteriorly 

 by an interrupted dentate whitish line; a terminal series of 

 blackish dots; cilia ochreous-whitish. Hindwings whitish 

 with some greyish suffusion; a terminal series of dark-fuscous 

 dots. 



An inconspicuous species of ordinary fades. The type 

 being a female, it is impossible to be sure that it may not 

 belong to the genus Cidaria. One example. 



Subfamily ACTDALIANAE. 



Brachycola( ?) microsticta, n. sp. 

 (/xLKpoo-TiKTos, minutely speckled).
