GEOMETRID^. 
Iramba recensitaria, Wlk. (Plate CLXXI. fig. 19.) 
Eupithecia reccnsitaria, Wlk. Cat. xxiv. p. 1244. 
Expanse § inch. 
Male. Pale red-brown. Fore wing irrorated with a few black scales ; an indistinct 
obliquely curved antemedial dark Hue ; a medial line excurved in the cell, with some dark 
suffusion inside the costal half and a whitish outer edge ; a postmedial obliquely curved and 
waved line with a dentate white line outside it ; a submarginal dark line. Hind wing 
irrorated with black scales; antemedial, postmedial, and submarginal indistinct dark lines, 
the postmedial line angled beyond the cell and nearly joining the antemedial line on inner 
margin. 
CERATORHYNCHTJS, g. u. 
Female. Antennae minutely ciliated and not annulated. Palpi with the second joint 
very long and obliquely porrect, the third joint minute. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 
Venation as iu Eupithecia, except that the first subcostal of the fore wing anastomoses 
strongly with the fourth instead of being given off before the anastomosis of the second 
subcostal. 
Ceratorhynchus deletarius. (Plate CLXX. fig. 20.) 
Expanse 1^ inch. 
Female olive-green. Fore wing with a basal triangular patch on the costa, continued as 
a black line to the inner margin ; black antemedial, medial, and postmedial dentate lines, the 
space between them filled in by a darker tint than the ground-colour, the postmedial line 
strongly angled at the third median nervule; a small ring-spot at the end of the cell; a 
series of submarginal blotches darker than the ground-colour and two marginal blotches, 
one at the middle of the outer margin, the other at the outer angle. Hind wing with a 
regular medial black line and a postmedial line strongly dentate at the middle, and followed 
by a submarginal indistinct irregular band. Underside suffused with black. 
AXINOPTEEA, g. n. 
Male. Antennae minutely ciliated and annulated. Palpi short and porrect, the third 
joint slender and smooth. Mid tibiae with a tuft of black hairs distally on the inside, the 
inner terminal spur absent, the outer one well developed. Hind tibiae with only the outer 
of the two pairs of spurs well developed. Fore wing with the costa strongly curved upwards 
close to the base iu a much more exaggerated way than iu Calluga ; a deep groove along the 
costal nervure. The costal neuration is much distorted; there are but four subcostals, three 
arising from the end of the cell, which is very short, the second subcostal given off from the 
third just before the apex ; the remainder of the venation as in Eupithecia. 
Female. Mid tibiae with a pair, hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. Venation as in 
Eupithecia, except that the first subcostal of the fore wing anastomoses strongly with the 
third, the fore wing being of the normal shape.
