Hind wings with ordinary neuration. Type, Auzeocles nigroseriata, sp. n. The only species of the genus strongly resembles, both in shape and scaling, the species of Auzea, Wlk.; but the absence of the radial to the hind wings distinguishes it from the CEnochrominae. AUZEODES NIGROSERIATA, Sp. n. 3. Fore wings shining wood-colour, thickly dusted with dull rusty scales, more especially along the inner and hind margins ; costa slightly dotted with blackish; the only visible markings are an exterior series of 4 black spots, arranged in a slight curve from the centre to the inner margin at A, having above them (towards the costa) 2 more, pale grey, with darker centres, very indistinctly visible; immediately before the apex an irregular oblique black dash from the costa, with some pale grey scales on either side. Hind wings the same. Head, thorax, and abdomen all unicolorous. Underside without markings, entirely suffused with smoky brown. Expanse of wings 40 millim. Hab. Pegu. H E T E R O M I Z A , gen. nov. Cimicodes, Moore, P. Z. S. 1867, p. 616. Pseudomiza, Butler, 111. Lep. Het. vii. p. 100. Fore wings with costa gradually curved ; apex produced shortly and pointed; hind margin concave just below apex, then broadly convex. Hind wings rounded, at the anal angle nearly square. Palpi not upcurved as in Omiza, but with the 2nd joint rising; the 3rd porrected forward, in a plane with the forehead, which is produced in front. Antenna? simple in both sexes. Hind tibiae of o* thickened, and armed with expansible tufts of hairs. Type, H. castanearia, Moore (Cimicodes). HETEROMIZA CERVINA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 8.) 3 • Fore wings fawn-colour with an olive tinge, with the costa and the space beyond the acutely-angled 2nd line paler and somewhat silvery; the rest rather tinged with brown; the whole wing finely dusted with dark atoms ; 1st line fine, brown, internally pale-edged, subangulated below the costa, then running straight to the inner margin ; a large, round, black-brown central spot; 2nd line fine, brown, starting from § of inner margin, running straight towards the apex and nearly touching the hind margin below it, thence, at a very acute angle, running back straight to the costa at |: this line is externally edged finely with paler; subterminal line indicated only by some small blackish dots on the veins ; fringes dark brown like the central field.
