formed and coloured palpi, which are alike in the three species, 
the structure of vein 7 of hindwings, and the more or less 
developed tornal markings of hindwings characterise this genus 
sufficiently. 
Taeniarchis spilozeucta, n. sp. 
c? . 17 mm. Head, thorax brownish. Palpi brownish-ochreous 
with fuscous basal and apical bars, terminal joint whitish. Pore- 
wings elongate-triangular, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, 
termen slightly sinuate, scarcely oblique; costa marked with 
oblique chestnut-brown strigulre, dark fuscous on grey-whitish edge; 
basal patch slightly greyer, its edge marked by an irregular curved 
chestnut-brown stria mixed dark grey, two or three similar strigulse 
within it; two confluent blackish-grey spots in disc above middle ; 
a reddish-brown slightly oblique transverse blotch mixed dark grey 
from dorsum beyond middle not reaching half across wing, and a 
similar triangular prsetornal spot; a triangular reddish-brown 
apical patch, its edge running from costa before | to termen below 
middle, obscurely marked leaden-metallic, towards anterior edge 
mixed blackish-grey ; a short erect brown and blackish striga from 
termen above tornus: cilia light brownish, two grey shades. 
Hindwings grey mottled darker ; three or four white strigulae at 
tornus separated dark fuscous ; cilia grey, base whitish within a

TAPINODOXA, n. g. 
Head rough-scaled ; tongue absent. Antennse <3 shortly ciliated. 
Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint thickened with rather rough 
scales above and beneath, terminal joint short. Thorax without 
crest. Forewings without costal fold; 3 from near angle, 7 to 
apex, 11 from middle. Hindwings without cubital pecten ; 3-5

Perhaps allied to Exajpcde . 
Tapinodoxa autonephes, n. sp. 
cf. 16-18 mm. Head, palpi, thorax greyish-ochreous or brown¬ 
ish-ochreous. Forewings rather elongate, somewhat dilated, costa 
gently arched, termen rather obliquely rounded ; brownish or light 
fuscous, obscurely darker-strigulated especially towards margins ; 
marking^ darker but generally nearly obsolete, basal patch with 
edge ahgulated in middle, where it reaches J- of wing, central fascia 
visible only on upper half, with strong angular posterior projection 
in middle, a sinuate streak before termen from near costa to termen 
just above tornus ; an obscure pale dot on lower angle of cell : cilia 
greyish-ochreous. Hindwings light grey ; cilia whitish-grey.
