rounded; dark fawn-grey, with a group of blackish spots before the middle of the costa, forming, with 
one slightly beyond the middle, a triangular pattern ; between these and the base 18 a small triangular 
blackish spot on the cell, a slender line of dark scales connecting it obliquely backward to the costa; a 
similar line below it, somewhat interrupted about the fold, connecting it with a small darkened patch at 
one-third from the base on the dorsum; from the middle group of spots a slender broken line of blackish 
scales, angulated in its course, terminates beyond the middle of the dorsum ; @ similar, somewhat broken 
line, from the outer costal spot ending on the termen above the tornus ; beyond it is a slight cupreous 
shade, with faint indications of other slender transverse lines before the apex ; cilia dull ochreous, with 
a fawn-grey dividing line near their base. Harp. al. 20-26 mm. Hindwings depressed before the apex 
on the costa, hind margin sinuate; whitish ochreous, with a fawn-grey shade and blackish reticulations 
around the apex; cilia whitish ochreous, except at the apex where they are distinctly shaded.

The @ is somewhat larger than the ¢, and the wings are much suffused with 
greyish fuscous, especially toward the base, in an oblique band across the middle, and 
on the costa toward the apex; the group of black scales is wanting, and the slender 
lines of black scales are less distinguishable, except on the outer third of the wing ; 
the hindwings as in the ¢, but more shaded toward the apex. 
5. Amorbia castanea, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 10.) 
Antennae greyish fuscous, chestnut-brown about the base. Palpi greyish ochreous, the terminal joint and 
part of the median chestnut-brown. Head and Thorax dark chestnut-brown. urewings chestnut-
