2 back from discus. (Figs : 22.) The new genus stands between Symmoca Hbn., and Donaspastus Gozm., and is a derivation of Symmoca. Some species of Symmoca Hbn., must be relageted here : so (based on the available material at my disposal) pallida Staudinger. cedestiella Zeller, musculina Staudinger, and kalifella Amsel. The male genitalia, are characterized by.the absence or very weak »thumb-like protuberance« of valvae at base of their costa, (which is variously long and sharp is Symmoca species), then the absence of cornuti in the aedeagus (also large in Symmoca). Alar exp. : 12—13,5 mm. The species is rather varying in the intensity of its coloration, which is yellowish and brown. Head yellowish with brown scales intermingling, especially

4 on the sides and tip of scapulae, palpi brownish, darker in the outsides, lighter inside, terminal joint light, smaller than second, straight forward. Antennae unicolorous brown. Fore\vings with straw-yellowish basic color, over which are strewn light, fawn-colored brown scales. These are rather evenly distributed, but somewhat denser at base of costa. The. majority of specimens are without any markings, in other, more sharpely delineated specimens, the brown scales accumulate at the end of discus to form an indefinite Pantacordis pales sp. n.
