ARISTOTELIA. 25 
the terminal, which is longer than the median and very slender, sprinkled and annulate with darker 
brown. Head fawn-brown, mixed with greyish fuscous; the Thorax darker brown, mixed with pale 
cinereous. Forewings dark fawn-brown, paler along the dorsal half, with a pale patch at the lower angle 
of the cell; a whitish cinereous fascia leaves the costa at about one-sixth, running obliquely outward to 
the fold, but not traceable below it—this fascia is somewhat widened, showing a tendency to reduplication 
by brown scales along its middle ; parallel with this is a short oblique costal streak before the middle, 
and beyond the middle is another, converging at its apex with a similar inverted costal streak from 
before the end of the wing, from the inner edge of the first a narrow line of the same colour crosses the 
fold inward, but: does not reach the dorsum ; between these markings a slight suffusion of blackish scales 
extends from base to apex, and there are also some shining steel-grey scales about the ends of the second 
and third costal streaks, and in a small separate patch above the tornus; cilia pale cinereous, with a 
pinkish tinge, merging to pale greyish fuscous on the dorsum. Hap.al. 11mm. Hindwings and cilia 
pale greyish fuscous, with a slight rosy tinge. Abdomen brownish cinereous. Legs whitish, with oblique 
brown tibial and tarsal bands externally.

This differs from pyrodercia Wlsm. in having more abundant sprinkling of blackish 
scales, and in the two black patches on the cell ; also in the silvery scaling being very 
slight and inconspicuous, this, however, may depend somewhat on the condition of the 
specimens. | 
5. Aristotelia dasypoda, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 22.) 
Antennae dark fuscous, spotted with white above. Palpi whitish, with two brownish bands around the 
median joint, and a fuscous shade-band beyond the middle of the terminal, of which the tip is also 
fuscous. Head brownish ochreous. Thorax ferruginous, with a steely grey sheen above, and a steel- 
whitish transverse band posteriorly. Forewings ferruginous, with some black scaling, and three 
outwardly oblique white streaks from the costa, all more or less mixed with shining steely scales; the 
first, at about one-fifth, is reduplicated, margined on its inner side with black scales which become 
concentrated in a spot resting on the fold, and reaches with its lustrous steely apex nearly to the dorsum 
at one-third; the second, single, reaching to a blackish spot on the fold and produced again below it 
in shining steel-grey to the dorsum beyond the middle; the third, from a little beyond the middle of 
the costa, passes on the outer side of a black dot at the end of the cell, to which the steel-grey scaling 
of the second streak extends, where it meets the apex of a fourth, similar, but inverted oblique white 
streak, coming from the costal cilia ; beyond this again is some black scaling extending outward to the 
apex; a small detached steely streak above the flexus, and a few steely scales above the tornus complete 
the rather confused pattern ; cilia greyish ochreous, shaded with fuscous, some steely scales along their 
base. Hap.al.ll1 mm. Hindwings and cilia rather pale greyish fuscous. Abdomen (missing). Legs 
white, with three brownish fuscous bands on the hind tibiae and three on the tarsi; anterior pair some- 
what similarly coloured, but with a thick-set projecting brush of fuscous scales on the underside of the 
tibiae of the-d.

The projecting brush of scales on the front tibiae of the ¢ distinguishes dasypoda 
from any known species of the genus.
