2. Massala larina, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 22.) 
Primaries with the base, the costal margin, and a large space near the apex bright reddish-brown, the other 
part of the wing pale brown clouded with greyish-white, a greyish-white rather broad band extending 
from the apex to the inner margin close to the anal angle, and a dark brown waved line crossing the wing 
about the middle from the costal to the inner margin; secondaries pale brown, with a very indistinct 
submarginal greyish-white band extending from the apex to the anal angle; the underside dark brown, 
both wings slightly greyish at the base, the secondaries with three faint brown lines crossing from the 
costal to the inner margin: head and thorax reddish-brown, the tegule tipped with greyish-white, the 
abdomen above and beneath pale brown, the antenne and palpi reddish-brown, the legs dark brown 
banded with white. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Guatemata, Coban (Conradt). 
One specimen. ‘This distinct species is allied to IW. guassa (=dimidiata), Walk. It 
may be an extreme form of Azeta obvertens, Walk., examples of which are before me 
from Ecuador. The latter, without doubt, should be placed in the genus Massala: 
according to Mr. Butler (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 63) it is a Capnodes, and 
C. turtur, Feld. & Rogenh., belongs to the same species.
