HemIXESMA gen. nov. 
Face not protuberant, moderately smooth-scaled. Palpus rather short, 
rough-scaled, terminal joint small, concealed. Tongue developed. Antenna 
in bipectinate, excepting a short apical portion. Pectus slightly hairy. ^ 
Femora glabrous. Hind tibia with terminal spurs only. Wings smoothly 
scaled. Fore wing not broad, slightly arched at base and rather noticeably 
near apex, straight between, termen smooth, oblique, scarcely curved except 
posteriorly; fovea wanting; cell one-half or slightly over, DC very slightly 
curved; SC^’ ^ coincident, connected by a minute bar or point with C and 
with SC^~^, not stalked, from slightly before middle, approximated 
at origin to R^. Hind wing with costa rather elongate, apex rounded or slightly ' 
cut awajT", termen rather prominent behind SC^, smooth and not very strongly | 
convex; cell one-half, DC rather oblique posteriorly, C approximated to SC 
to middle of cell, moderately rapidly diverging, SC^ almost connate, R^ 
wanting, well separate. 
Type of the genus: Hemixesma anthocvenias sp. nov. 
Possibly derived from Lomographa Hb. (in sensu Meyr.) = Stegania Dup., : 
agreeing with Meyrick’s characterization {Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892, p. no) |n 
except in the absence of the median spurs of the hind tibia, but with longer | ;; 
wings and more the facies of Aspitates, or particularly of Rhodometra anto-% 
philaria Hb. Aspilates” illepidata Walk. {= maeviaria part. Walk., nec I 
Guen.) may possibly have to be transferred here, but unfortunately both the I 
specimens before me have lost the hind legs; S antenna with two pairs of | 
pectinations to each joint, ^ not connected with C, virtually central; | 
larger than anthocvenias, hind wing well marked. | 
61. Hemixesma anthocrenias noY. | 
(?, 29 mm. Head and body stramineous, the lower part of face and upper- | 
side of palpus more ochreous, the abdomen more whitish, fore femur and fore | 
tibia darkened. I 
Fore wing light straw-colour, with darker irroration (strongest at costal | j 
edge); a very small black cell-dot; a thick brown (at distal edge black) post- |l 
median hne from four-fifths costa, almost parallel with termen to R^, then 1 1 
curving very gently to become slightly more oblique, terminating rather 1 1 
abruptly before SM^\ fringe paler. Hind wing white, weakly iirrorated distally, ijj ! 
otherwise clear. 4 , 
Fore wing beneath pale straw-colour, becoming whitish posteriorly; in |j 
and before cell somewhat infuscated; postmedian line well developed anteriorly, i j 
becoming shadowy. Hind wing more irrorated than above. I i

62. Caber a neodora sp. nov. 
(?, 25 mm. Face and palpus reddish brown-grey; palpus somewhat up- 
curved, over I, second joint rather heavily scaled. Vertex whitish grey. 
Thorax and abdomen grey, more whitish beneath. 
Fore wing with costa straight except at base and near apex, apex moderate, 
termen moderately oblique, very slightly curved anteriorly, rather more so 
posteriorly; cell slightly over one-half, SC^ well free; light ochreous grey, with 
faint suffusions of colder grey and with some scattered black scales ; a minute 
black cell-dot; a few transversely arranged red scales perhaps indicating the
