In Guenée’s ‘ Histoire Naturelle des Insectes Lépidoptéres ’ the Geometrites are preceded by Urania and Coronis and their allies, which have been described in the first series of this Catalogue. The genus Hazis, of which he forms the family Hazide and includes with the Geometrites, is also mentioned in that series. A. Ale antice semper acuminate; postice sepissime caudate. Fam. 1.

The three following species, of which the two latter may be varieties of U. Politia, differ much from the typical form of Urap- teryx, and may form a new genus between it and Cherodes. U. Politia varies in the markings of the wings and in the caudal angle of the hind wings, and some of the specimens here recorded have less likeness to the typical specific form than to U. complicata. 2.

Male. Very pale ochraceous, mostly whitish beneath. Head brownish, whitish above. Palpi with blackish tips. Legs minutely black-speckled ; anterior knees black; hind tibia much thickened. Wings with a few indistinct little transverse ochraceous streaks, and with a few minute black speckles; the latter more prevalent on the under side ; the line straight, oblique, whitish, bordered with ochra- ceous on its inner side ; discal] interior black point distinct ; a blackish exterior diffuse zigzag line, which is almost obsolete on the fore — wings. Fore wings subfalcate; the line towards the costa indicated only by elongated white points on the veins ; exterior border very slightly bent, hardly angular. Hind wings with a very distinct angle, but not caudate. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings 19 lines. This species, like C. incurvata, may be distinguished from the other three preceding species by the exterior border of the fore wings; it also agrees with C. incurvata in having no traces of the inner line, which is very distinct in C. transposita, slight in C. transversatu, and almost or quite obsolete in C. transmutans.

Female. Reddish ochraceous, slightly and minutely speckled with black. Head whitish above. Wings hardly purplish-tinged, with a straight oblique cinereous line, whichis borderéd with brown on both sides ; a black interior discal point. Fore wings acute, fal- cate; the line with white points on its fore part, ceasing on ap- proaching the costa ; exterior border very slightly angular. Hind wings with the exterior border distinctly angular ind slightly cau- date ; interior border fringed with white hairs. Length of the body 7—8 lines ; of the wings 20—22 lines. Whether this is a distinct species, or whether it and C. trans- posita, and some of the following species are mere varieties of C. transversata is a question yet to be decided. The line and the black points of the wings distinguish it from C. transversata, and in both these characters it resembles C. incurvata, from which it dif- fers by the angular exterior border of the fore wings, and by the more decided angle of the hind wings. a—c.
