PTEALID.^:. 
Stemmatopliora pallidicosta. (Plate CLXXII. fig. 17.) 
Expanse Ij inch. 
Male. Antennae and head pale chestnnt-brown ; thorax purplish red-brown, the scales 
tipped with grey ; abdomen red-brown. Fore wing red-brown, the basal half suffused with 
purplish; the costa suffused with grey to just before the apex; an indistinct medial dark 
line angled below the costa ; a more distinct oblique postmedial line. Hind wing yellowish 
white, suffused with red towards the outer margin, with a fine postmedial red line. 
Stemmatophora ochrealis. (Plate CLXXI. fig. 5.) 
Expanse | inch. 
Male and Female. Closely allied to S. vulsalis, Wlk., but rather larger and with hardly 
any trace of the pink suffusion. Fore wing with the antemedial line further from the base ; 
the postmedial line more waved and angled at the first median nervule. Hind wing with the 
postmedial line indistinct and only present on the disk, and further from the outer margin 
than in S. vulsalis. 
This species with S. vulsalis and S. imbutalis form a group distinguished from typical Stem- 
matophora by their small size, the presence of pale strigse on the costa of the fore wing, and by 
the male having tufts of long scales projecting backwards over the abdomen from the tegulse. 
Stemmatophora vulsalis, TVlk. (Plate CLXXI. fig. 9.) 
Botys? vulsalis, TT'/A-. Cat. sviii. p. G71. 
Expanse § inch. 
Male. Head and thorax pinkish ochreous ; tegulse with tufts of long dark scales, pro- 
jecting backwards from beneath them almost to the middle of abdomen ; abdomen ochreous,

ochreous, with some black and ochreous strigse on the costa ; slightly oblique black ante- and 
postmedial lines, the latter slightly excurved at middle ; a black spot at end of cell ; a series 
of marginal black strigse. Hind wing ochreous, suffused with pink towards outer margin ; a 
postmedial indistinct line. Cilia of both wings pink at base, fuscous at tips. 
Pindicitora zeuxoalis, Wlk. (Plate CLXXII. fig. 27.) 
Pindicitora? zeuxoalis, Wlk. Cat. xxvii. p. 135. 
Expanse § inch. 
Head, thorax, abdomen, and fore wing very dark red-brown ; the last with an oblique 
white medial line from median nervure to inner marg'in, its upper end expanding into an

cilia pinkish.
