twice interrupted by the white ground-colour, first at about one-third, secondly beyond the middle ; after 
each interruption a curved line of the dark mouse-grey scales is produced backward from the inner edge 
of the patch beyond, the first of these lines sometimes forming a semi-detached streak, nearly reaching to 
the base of the wing; around the termen and apex is a slight clouding of dark mouse-grey scales forming 
a series of connected spots between the veins; cilia silvery white. zp. al. 18 mm. Hindwings pale 
brownish grey ; cilia white, touched with brownish at the apex. Abdomen shining, whitish cinereous. 
Legs silvery white, the hind tarsi distinctly yellowish beneath.

In general appearance this much resembles Stenoma binubila Z., but it is much 
smaller, and the two interruptions of the dorsal patch are less distinct than the single 
one which occurs in that species; the neuration of the hindwings will at once 
distinguish these species. 
2. Athleta cenotes, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 23.) 
Antennae & biciliate 1+; very pale brownish ochreous. Palpi whitish ochreous, the median joint smeared 
with fawn-brown toward the base along its upper half externally ; terminal joint with a brown spot at 
the base, and with its inner side sprinkled with some brown scaling. Head whitish ochreous, tinged 
with fawn-brown above. Thorax fawn-brown, the ends of the tegulae whitish ochreous. Forewings 
whitish ochreous, shaded with pale fawn-brown, which occupies the greater part of the wing-surface, 
reaching from the middle of the cell to the dorsum and nearly to the tornus, but broken up beyond the 
cell into slender lines running along the veins to the apex and termen, with more or less brown dusting 
between them; along the upper edge of the cell is a still darker brown streak, narrowly traceable to the 
extreme base of the costa, while above it, toward the middle of the wing, are three or four irregular 
spots of the same colour, the first of which, at scarcely more than one-third from the base, is the larger 
and more conspicuous; the costa is narrowly pale brownish ochreous throughout; a very indistinct 
outwardly curved fawn band crosses the veins before the termen, which is also narrowly marked with the . 
same colour; cilia whitish ochreous, touched with some brownish shading. Hxp.al.17-5 mm. Hind- 
wings whitish ochreous, slightly more ochreous toward the apex; a strong ochreous hair-pencil in the dg, 
arising at the base, is concealed in the fold on the upper side along vein 1”, the line of this pocket being 
also coarsely scaled beneath; cilia very pale ochreous. Abdomen whitish ochreous. Legs whitish 
ochreous, the hind tarsal joints more distinctly ochreous.

3. Athleta ptycta, sp. n. (Tab. V. fig. 22.) 
Antennae whitish fawn. Palpt whitish fawn, the basal half of the median joint shaded above with umber- 
brown ; the terminal joint spotted at the base and slightly shaded toward the apex with umber-brown. 
Head and Thorax whitish fawn, the latter shaded with umber-brown. Forewings whitish fawn, much 
shaded and streaked with umber-brown, especially on the outer half and along the middle of the dorsum ; 
a group of short umber-brown streaks lies on the upper half of the wing near the base, others less 
conspicuous along the fold, and an obliquely placed group of smaller streaks below the middle of the 
costa, leading in the direction of a small spot of the same colour at the end of the cell; a rather strong 
shade of umber-brown, before the apex, is produced downward in a line parallel with the termen to the 
tornus, the termen itself being also strongly spotted with an even darker shade of the same colour;
