Above. Pore^lng biown: sometiines a dot in end of cell, and sometimes three transverse subapieal 
dots, whitish: cilia Avliitisli, at veins broadly brown: an oblique and narrow discal sexmark from vein 
la to vein 3, dull black inwardly edged black. Hindwing brown: cilia dull yellow, at veins broadly 
brown. 
Beneath. Forewing brown: costa, apex and termen suffused orange-brown: a large dot in cell and 
three transverse subapieal dots, pale yellow: sometimes a row of obscure subterminal dots in apex, 
pale jellow. Hindwing red-brown: costa, apex and termen suffused orange-brown: an irregular series 
of subterminal and subcostal spots and dots, pate yellow: a si)ot in cell and a spot in area la before 
half, siherj^ white ringed brown: a series of irregular discal spots, silvery white ringed brown. 
$. Abomi. Forewing brown: a spot in end of cell and three transverse subapieal dots, pale yellow; 
thiee small discal spots in areas la, 2 and 3, pale j’ellow: cilia dull yellow, at veins brown. Hind¬ 
wing brown: cilia dull yellow, at veins brown. 
Beneath. Forewing as in male: a row of obscure subterminal dots in apex, pale yellow. Hind¬ 
wing red-brown: spots and dots as in male.

A coloured copy of the unpublished figure by Ploetz places this species beyond doubt: draclimo'phora 
Moniek must therefore sink as a synonym. 
Genus DISPAR nov. 
Antennae about half the length of costa: clubs short and stout, evenly bent at middle, and with 
lips pointed (Fig. AJ 13). Palpi with third joint moderate, blunt and porreet. Forewing Avith costa 
nearly straight and termen sliorter tlian dorsum: vein 5 slightly nearer to vein 6 than to vein 4 in the 
male, but equidistant between vein 6 and A^ein 4 in the female: A^ein 2 nearer to vein 4 than to base 
of wing; male with a linear discal sexmark. 
Type. Dispar compacta Butler. 
This curious and abundant little species agrees so little AAuth any of the genera of this subfamily, 
mat we have found it necessary to erect a genus for it. The sexes are so dissimilar that they have been 
described as distinct species: Watson even placed them in separate genera. Tlie tegmnen is long, 
slender and pointed, and quite unlike that of any other species of the subfamily.

Above. Forewing broAvn: a spot in end of cell, and produced along median, A\dute, hyaline: three 
transverse subapieal dots, and a small discal spot in ai’ea 3, Avhite, hyaline: cilia grey-broAvn: a 
narrow diseal sexmark from vein la to A^ein 3, dull black. HindAving broAvn: a dot in cell and a band 
of four elongate discal spots, diminishing from vein 2 to vein 6, Avhite, hyaline: cilia grey-broAvn. 
Beneath. Forewing broA\m: costa, apex and termen, yelloAA^-brOAvn; spots and dots as aboA'e. 
Hindwing j’elloAv-browm: a dot in cell (sometimes centred Avliite), a dot in base of area 7, and a dot 
in area la at half, broA\m: a series of discal spots, those in areas 2, 3 and 4, large, almost confluent, 
white, hyaline, edged broAvn, and the remainder small obscure, broAvn, 
5. ABOra. Forewing broAvn; a spot in end of cell and three transA^erse subapieal dots, pale yelloAv, 
hvalino: a discal spot in area 2 and a smaller one in base of area 3, pale yelloAA^, hyaline: a discal 
dot in lower edge of area la, pale yellow: cilia yellow-brown, at A^eins broAvm. Hindwdng broA\m: a 
broad central streak in area 4-5, yelloAv: cilia yelloAV-broAvn, at veins broAA’n. 
Beneath. ForeAving broAvn: costa, apex and termen, orange-broAvn: a subterminal streak, lilacine 
hyaline spots and dots as aboA’e and edged brown. HindAving dark orange-broA\m suffused 
hlaeine grey: a broad central band, pale lilacinc grey: a dot in cell, a dot in base of area 7, and 
a dot in area la at half, lilacine gTey edged bi'oAvn; a series of discal dots, lilacine gTey edged brown.
