Allohermenias gen. nov. (fig. 359) 
other than, He.rmenias = generic name 
Head roughish, side-tufts roughly spreading. Ocellus posterior. Antenna 
without notch, somewhat thickened, ciliated, ciliations 1 / 2 . Palpus moder- 
ately long, slightly sinuate; median segment triangularly dilated by 
roughly projecting scales above and beneath; terminal segment moderate 
or rather short, obtuse. Thorax without crest. Fore wing elongate, rather 
narrow, with a small costal fold in male, lb furcate, 2 from 3 / 5 — 2 / 3 , 3 from 
angle, 4 approximated at base, 5 parallel, 4—6 hardly approximated 
posteriorly, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to termen, 9 approximated, 10 nearer to

9 than to 11, 11 from i j li of upper edge of cell. Hind wing with a cubital 
pecten which is sometimes very weak ; 2 from just beyond 1 / 2 , 3 and 4 long- 
stalked from angle, 5 closely approximated towards base, 6 and 7 stalked 
or closely approximated towards base. Uncus not bifid. 
Typus generis Allohermenias tenuitexta spec, nov., male. 
Judging by the neuration of the fore wing and by the male genitalia 
allied to Hermenias, but without antennal notch in male. Structurally 
nearest to Acroclita Lederer, but with veins 6 and 7 in hind wing some- 
times stalked, and with an entirely different facies and different male 
genitalia.
