MR. E. M'LACHLAN ON NEW FORMS, ETC., 



anticse angustatse, pallide flavidescentes, haud signatse : posticse gri- 

 sescentes, subhyalina3 (c?). 



Long. corp. 2\ lin. ( = 5f mill.); exp. alar. 9^ lin. (=20 mill.). 



Hab. Australia (Victoria, Edwards) (in Mus. auct.). 



Fuscous. Head, prothorax, and two impressed lines on the mesonotum 

 densely clothed with golden-grey hairs : antennae testaceous, annu- 

 lated with brown : palpi testaceous. Legs testaceous ; a black dot 

 on each of the trochanters. Abdomen blackish ; middle of terminal 

 margin of last dorsal segment somewhat produced, obsoletely notched : 

 from beneath this segment proceeds a short, truncate, testaceous lobe : 

 app. inf. testaceous; the basal joint long, cylindrical, pubescent, gra- 

 dually clavate at its tip ; second joint short, thin, and spiniform, 

 slightly curved : penis slender, cylindrical, the glans oval and capitate, 

 unarmed. (PI. IV. fig. 18.) 



Anterior wings narrow, pale yellow, without markings ; veins testaceous. 

 Posterior wings greyish subhyaline, the costal edge testaceous ; veins 

 fusco-testaceous. 



I possess a male of this moderately small pale species, which 

 presents no particular structural peculiarities, save that the second 

 joint of the app. inf. is more spiniform than is usual. 



Stenopstche, M'Lachlam. 



When I described this genus (Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. ser. 3, vol. v. 

 p. 264) I was acquainted with the c? only. I now possess also the 

 $ , which differs only in its larger size and dilated joints of the inter- 

 mediate tarsi ; the apex of the abdomen is produced, and there are 

 two rather long narrow valves. 



Stenopsyche griseipennis, M'Lachlan. 



The $ , from Assam, in my collection measures 25 lines ( = 52 

 mill.) in expanse of wings. In coloration it is similar to the 

 S , save that the inner margin of the anterior wings has a broad 

 whitish streak extending from the base to the anal angle. 



A second c?, from the "Snowy Valley," near Ningpo, China 

 ( Mr. Pryer), resembles the Indian type ; but the grey reticulated 

 markings of the anterior wings are more delicate and uniform, 

 not united into blotches, the posterior wings less opaque. 



Smicridea, nov. gen. 



Calcaria 1, 4, 4. Frons valida. Antennae graciles, breves ; 

 articulo basali vix dilatato, perbrevi. Ocelli desunt. Palpi
