EUPRAGIA.—OESTOMORPH A. 107 
Allied to Athrinacta W\sm., from which it differs in the longer labial palpi, in the 
peculiar curvature of FW: 12, and the connation of FW: 3-4. The @ differs also in 
having HW: 3-4 stalked, instead of coincident as in the ¢.

1. Eupragia solida, sp. n. (Tab. III. fig. 28.) 
Antennae very pale ochreous, shaded with umber-brown above at the base. Pulpz whitish ochreous, the 
median joint shaded with umber-brown on its outer side to within one-third of its apex. Head and Thorax 
pale ochreous, the latter with an umber-brown median shade. orewings dark fawn-brown, sprinkled 
and shaded with black scaling, the lines of neuration for the most part indicated by narrow whitish 
ochreous streaks, of which those on veins 2, 10, and 11 are perhaps the most conspicuous; the costa is 
narrowly streaked with whitish ochreous, and below the fold, from base to middle of dorsum, is another 
conspicuous whitish ochreous streak with roughly raised scales towards its base, beneath it an elongate 
black patch above the dorsum and a patch of projecting mixed brown and ochreous scales lying below 
this on the flexus; above the fold, but not reaching to the base, is also an elongate black patch, widening 
outward and diffused in scattered scales along the cell and along the upper edge of the fold; small 
transverse strigulae of similar black scales are found between the veins beyond the cell in the direction 
of both margins ; at the end of the cell is a transverse crescent-shaped black spot, ontlined with whitish 
ochreous, and placed somewhat obliquely, a smaller oval and similarly ocelloid spot on the cell half-way 
between this and the base; a narrow blackish terminal line preceding the cilia which are fawn-brown 
mixed with pale ochreous, (but of these there is very little left in the specimen described), xp. al. 
18 mm. Hindwings pale brownish fuscous, with a bluish grey sheen; cilia pale cinereous, with a 
brownish grey shade-line along their base. Abdomen fuscous, anal tuft whitish ochreous, Legs whitish 
ochreous.

Haustellum well-developed, scaled at base. Head and Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, apex 
depressed, rounded: newration 11 veins, 7-8 coincident, to costa; 6 and (7+8) stalked; 3-4 stalked, 
2 separate. Hindwings 1+, apex rounded, termen oblique, not sinuate, tornus rounded: neuration
