rounded ; 6 separate ; whitish-grey, slightly sprinkled grey ; a grey 
costal streak sprinkled black from base to 3 , terminated by a tuft 
of scales, a similar tuft surrounded by irroration beneath it in 
middle, and another tuft at base of dorsum ; irregular brown spots 
surrounded by grey suffusion irrorated blackish in disk at | and |, 
these united to dorsum by grey spots irrorated blackish and 
a similar dorsal spot between these ; costal area above these and 
whole posterior area brown strewn with blackish elongate marks 
and a series of submarginal spots : cilia grey with series of grey- 
whitish points. Hindwings thinly scaled, grey, darker posteriorly;

2 . 17 mm. Head, thorax whitish-ochreous. Palpi second 
joint dark fuscous, with broad projectng tuft beneath, apical 
edge white, terminal joint much longer, white, with dark fuscous 
subbasal ring and submedian and supramedian bands. Forewings 
elongate, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely 
rounded ; 6 separate ; ochreous-whitish irrorated grey ; a slight 
blackish wedge-shaped mark on costa at 3 ; an elongate blackish 
spot on middle of costa, and a similar one in disc beneath it; two 
very small dark fuscous spots on costa beyond this ; some undefined 
darker grey clouding or marbling towards apex : cilia grey speckled 
whitish. Hindwings grey, posteriorly darker grey ; cilia light grey, 
a darker subbasal shade.

SEMOPHYLAX, n. g. 
Head smooth ; ocelli minute, posterior; tongue developed. 
Antennae |, <$ minutely ciliated, scape elougate, without pecten. 
Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint thickened with short 
rough scales beneath, furrowed, terminal joint longer than second, 
thickened with appressed scales throughout, pointed. Maxillary 
palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Anterior tibiae and 
tarsi short, stout ; posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings 
1 b furcate, 2 from A 3 from angle. 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 
from middle. Hindwings over 1 , trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen 
not sinuate, cilia \; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 
5 parallel, from middle of trans-verse vein, 6 and 7 sinuate and 
approximated on basal half. 
Type apicipuncta Busck. (=praesignis Meyr.). A curious form 
of doubtful affinity ; originally referred by me to Anisoplaea , my 
example not showing adequately the thickened terminal joint 
of palpi, but I have lately received from Mr. Busck a better example ; 
placed by Mr. Busck in Chelaria, which is inconsistent with the 
neuration of hindwings. It is perhaps an early form, with relation 
to both the Gelechia and Chelaria groups.
