Fore wings with costa rather strongly arched throughout; apex rounded, blunt; hind margin below the broadly rounded apex oblique and slightly concave, anal angle well marked. Hind wings triangular, with both angles bluntly rounded off and hind margin nearly straight. Palpi minute, slender, not projecting beyond face; tongue present; antennae of 3 broadly pectinated. Neuration:- Discocellular of fore wing angulated; radial from the angulation; last subcostal from upper end of the cell (one of the subcostals appears to be missing). Type, A. discata, sp. n. AMORPHOZANCLE DISCATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 23.) Fore wing pale liver-colour, darker at base and along costa, with sparingly scattered black scales, which form a black costal blotch at about ^; an oblong-oval whitish discal blotch, beyond which there comes a trace of a faintly darker shade; fringe short, vinous. Hind wings yellow ochreous, with black dusting. Head, thorax, and abdomen liver-colour, with darker atoms. Underside with all the tints brighter and more distinct. Expanse of wings 28 millim.
