retuse below the apex; posterior wings elongate-ovate, with moderately 
long cilia. 
Only one species is known in this genus; it is exclusively 
British, not having hitherto been detected on the continent.

Head and face yellowish, mixed with fuscous. Palpi dark fuscous ; 
internally towards the base yellowish; tip of the terminal joint white. 
Antennie fuscous. Anterior wings fuscous, with numerous yellowish 
scales, with three dark fuscous spots (one on the dise, one a little pos- 
terior on the fold before the middle, and one on the dise beyond the 
middle) ; cilia greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings dark fuscous, with 
paler cilia. 
Very rare; in Mr. Shepherd’s collection, and in the collection 
of the British Museum; it has been taken near Ripley among

Genus XV. NOTHRIS. 
Nothris p., Wiib, V. 411 (1816). Ypsolophus p., Zell. 
Capilli depressi. Ocelli nulli. Antenne setacex, articulis oblongis, viv 
distinctis, & non nodulosis, pubescente-ciliatis. Waustellum mediocre, 
squamatum. Palpi labiales, articulo seeundo infra seopiformi, pilis 
antice productis; articulo ultimo levi, aculeiformi, recurvo. Ale 
elongate mediocriter ciliate ; anteriores, cilia circa apicem non produc- 
tum, non picta ; posteriores trapeziformes, ante apicem levissime re- 
tuse; anteriores: vena apicalis furcata ante apicem exit; cellula se- 
cundaria nulla; venee mediane ramus primus a setundo valde distat ; 
subdorsalis furcata; submediana non incrassata; posteriores : cellula 
costalis normalis; vena subcostalis Jonge furcata ; mediana trifida. 
Head smooth. Ocelli none. Antenne setaceous, with the joints ob- 
long, scarcely distinct ; in the ¢ not knotty, with pubescent ciliations. 
Tongue of moderate length, clothed with scales. Labial palpi with the 
second joint beneath formed like a brush, with the hairs produced in 
front; the terminal joint smooth, pointed, recurved. Wings elongate, 
with moderate cilia ; the cilia round the not-produced apex of the anterior 
wings are not adorned with markings ; the posterior wings trapeziform, 
before the apex very slightly retuse. In the anterior wings the furcate 
apical vein runs into the costa before the apex; the secondary cell is 
not indicated ; the first branch of the median vein is at a considerable 
distance from the second branch; the subdorsal vein is fureate; the 
submedian is not thickened. In the posterior wings the costal cell is 
iti
