Differs from Polyorycta in the forewing of <$ having on the underside an elongate oval fovea, half¬ 
way between cell and termen, on vein 7, touching the stalk of 8, 9, 10; the termen indented below the 
projecting apex, then gibbous; the palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment broader at end. Type 
G. quadrilineata Moore. 
G. quadrilineata Moore (= trifasciata Pimps, nec Moore) (22b). Forewing creamy white irrorated quadrili-

dots on its outer edge; fringe brown with white line at base; hindwing ochreous white, the termen rufous. 
An Indian species found at Karachi, Sind; Oudh in the Punjab; Calcutta, Bengal; also from the 
New Hebrides; it is said to occur also in Central Africa.

24. Genus: Mieroedma gen. nov. 
Distinguished from the two preceding genera and from Porphyrinia by the presence on the forewing 
of $ of a small glandular swelling on costa beyond middle. Type M. extorris spec. nov. The other 6 species of

spots; hindwing with the markings effaced along costal area and again on submedian fold. The larva of the

Hbn. 
L. miasma Hmps. (Vol. 3, PI. 52 a). Forewing purplish grey with fuscous suffusion; inner line miasma. 
somewhat diffuse, waved, preceded by a dark shade; outer line double filled in with whitish, outcurved
