British New Guinea, Hydrographer Mts., 2500 feet, March 
(Eichhorn ) (type Prof. Forbes Coll.). The rough-scaled antennae and 
thoracic crest are apparently peculiar, but the characteristic neura- 
tion and facies sufficiently define the genus. 
PELOCHARES, n. g. 
Head with loosely appressed scales, sidetufts raised, connivent; 
ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae <y 1, $ somewhat 
shorter, filiform, simple, scape moderate, without pecten. Labial 
palpi rather long, recurved, second joint thickened with appressed 
scales, terminal joint shorter than second, slender, acute. Maxillary 
palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae 
loosely haired above. Fore wings 2 and 3 stalked from angle, 
4 approximated, 5 absent, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 9 absent, 
11 from somewhat before middle. Hindwings 1, elongate-ovate,
