476 Mr. W. Warren on new 
middle : scaling smooth and glossy, when fresh iridescent, 
burnished. 
Type H, suffusalis , Wlk. {Scapula), 
Loxoscia. 
Fore wings elongate triangular; costa straight, much 
longer than the inner margin, convex before apex ; hind 
margin decidedly oblique, curved: hind wings rounded: 
labial palpi upcurved in front of face ; terminal joint short, 
conical, but distinct ; maxillary erect, small, and thin ; tongue 
and ocelli present ; antennae long, slender ; in the male pubes- 
cent beneath, with fine ciliations. Scaling silky, not dense ; 
markings, two stigmata and two transverse lines, the second 
always very oblique, running more or less parallel to the hind 
margin, with the space beyond in both wings filled up with 
darker. The American species have a small tuft of scales 
projecting from the inner margin, and ocelloid stigmata, and 
may have to be separated. 
Type Loxoscia scinisalis , Wlk. ( Botys ). 
Mimorista. 
Resembles Sciorista , Warr., in pattern and colouring, but 
distinguished by the shape of the labial palpi, which are short, 
porrected obliquely upwards, but not curved along the fore- 
head ; the third joint invisible, lost in the second, the top of 
which is cut straight off or but slightly rounded. 
Type Mimorista botydalis , Guen. ( Samea ). 
Haritalodes. 
Near to Pantograplia (Led.), but with more rounded apex 
to the fore wings and rounder hind margin of hind wings. 
Abdomen shorter and stouter, with the second and last 
segment in the female, the second and penultimate segment 
in the male, with a black (or brown) ring. Markings: three 
ocelloid stigmata, two transverse lines, the latter approaching 
the former on the inner margin, a submarginal fascia, a thick 
marginal line, and all the nervures beyond the middle 
brownish black : hind wing with three curved lines and an 
ocellus. 
Type Haritalodes multilinealis , Guen. {Botys), 
Phaedropsis. 
Distinguished from both Haritala , Moore, and Orthospila , 
Warr., with both of which it is closely allied, by the much
