PROTEOPTERYX*. 



Palpi breves, articulo secundo squamis supra et infra projectis vestito, articulum apicalem 

 pcene occultantibus. Caput supra floccosum ; thorax plenus. Alee anticce ( $ revolucro costali 

 mdJo) latitudine ter longiores, costd leviter arcuatd, margine apicali obliquo apud venam 

 quartam subito inciso ; vents l^et S'^ vix separatim originatis, 8'^ adcostam finitd. Alee posticcB 

 subovatce, sub apice leviter impressce, venis iis Grapliolitlise similibus : colores varii, dimidio dorsali 

 scepius costce dissimili, capite huic vel illi concolori. 



Palpi short, projecting about the length of the head beyond it, compressed ; the second 

 joint thickly clothed with long scales, projecting below and around the scarcely exposed apical 

 joint ; thorax stout ; abdomen rather broad, slightly tufted in male. Fore wings without a 

 costal fold in the male, fully three times as long as wide ; the costa gently and evenly arched ; 

 apical margin oblique, abruptly indented on branch 4 ; veins 7 and 8 scarcely separate at 

 their origin ; branch 8 ending in the costa : the dorsal margin bulging at the base, nearly 

 straight beyond. Hind wings subovate, slightly indented below the apex; branches 3 and 4 

 from a common pedicle ; branch 5 not bent over at its origin, rather remote from branch 4, as 

 in the genus Grapholitha : very variable in colouring, with indistinct abbreviated costal 

 streaks ; the dorsal margin usually differing considerably in colour from the costal half of the 

 wing ; an ill-defined ocellated spot above the anal angle. Head corresponding in colour some- 

 times with the dorsal, sometimes with the costal margin. 



Type Proteopteryx emarginana. 



Proteopteryx emarginana. (Plate LXXVI. figs. 2-6.) 



Palpi short, projecting about the length of the head beyond it, with the head greyish 

 white, reddish brown, or ferruginous, corresponding either with the costal or dorsal half of 

 the wing : antennse simple in both sexes. Fore wings — fully three times as long as wide, with 

 the costa slightly arched ; the apical margin oblique, abruptly indented ou vein 4 — whitish 

 or reddish brown, usually with a prolonged dorsal patch from near the base to beyond the 

 middle, extending over half the wing ; chocolate-brown, ochreous white, or ferruginous, in 

 contrast to the paler or darker colour of the opposite half : the costa is slightly streaked ; the
