Erechlhias, sp. One example not in a fit state for

Subfamily TINEINAE. 



Gen. Eretmobela, nov. 



(eper/xo/JeAos, with paddle-shaped weapons — palpi). 



Head smooth-scaled; side-tufts closely appressed. Labial 

 palpi long, recurved; second joint moderate, with rough 

 spreading short hairs anteriorly, and three or four long hair- 

 like bristles from apex posteriorly ; terminal joint longer 

 than second, stout, obtuse, flattened, and dilated antero- 

 posteriorly. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Antennae shorter 

 than forewings; apices of joints dilated. Forewings with 

 eleven veins, 2 and 3 stalked from angle of cell, 4 approx- 

 imated to them at origin, 5 and 6 separate and parallel, 7 and 

 8 coincident and running to costa, 9 separate, 10 from upper 

 angle of cell, 11 from ^. Hindwings with 2 from |-, 

 ,3, 4, 5, 6, 7 separate and parallel, forking vein in cell well 

 marked. 



Mr. Meyrick informs me that this genus is allied to 

 Setomorpha, though differing in neuration. 



Eretmobela phaeosema, n. sp. (^atoo-^/xo?, dusky marked). 



9 , 16 mm. Head brown-whitish mixed with fuscous. 

 Palpi ochreous-whitish ; external surface of terminal joint 

 fuscous. Thorax fuscous, extreme apex posteriorly narrowly

 middle and posterior coxae ochreous-whitish ; tarsi and apex

 termen obliquely rounded ; ochreous-whitish irrorated with 

 fuscous; markings dark fuscous; a dot on costa at J, an 

 elongate mark on costa before middle, a large spot on f costa, 

 with a costal dot midway between the two preceding; irregular 

 but well-defined dorsal blotches at £ and middle; a median 

 discal dot at ^ and a second at § ; a terminal line dilated 

 at tornus and interrupted above tornus ; cilia fuscous 

 obscurely barred with ochreous-whitish. Hindwings grey; 

 cilia ochreous-whitish, on costa and dorsum grey. One

Mr. Lea obtained 32 species; adding the six obtained 

 through Mr. Waterhouse we have a total of 38. Among 

 them are 25 known species and 13 are endemic species, which 

 have just been described. Of the 25 there are 16 which
