5. Atteva microsticta, sp.n. (Tab. EX. fig. 30.) | | 
Antennae blackish at the base, fading outward, a white line along the upper side toward the apex. Palpi 
black, with some sprinkling of white scales toward the outer end of the median joint and on the base 
of the terminal. Head black, with some pale yellowish hair-scales on the crown and around the neck. 
Thorax blackish in the middle, edged with white posteriorly ; tegulae reddish orange. Forewings dark 
greenish purple, spotted with yellowish white, and bearing eight reddish orange patches tending to 
divide the ground-colour into transverse spotted bands ; the first is at the base of the costa; the second 
not quite touching the costa at one-fourth, and nearly confluent with a longer, upright, opposite dorsal 
patch ; the third, just before the middle of the costa, produced downward on the cell, but not reaching . 
the apex of a triangular opposite dorsal patch; the fourth, also costal, preceding a rather inwardly 
oblique erect tornal patch, and the fifth covering the apex—the other three being dorsal as above - 
described; the spots on the intermediate dark bands are smaller and more numerous than in pustulella 
F., which like others of the genus it greatly resembles, but this character at once distinguishes it— 
a notable instanee is that whereas on the lower two-thirds of the second band pustuletla has four or five 
spots, one above an opposite pair with two sometimes confluent below, this species has seven spots 
arranged in a circle of six around a central one. Exp. al.28 mm. Hindwings dark purplish grey. 
Abdomen fuscous, with white spots beneath. Legs purplish fuscous. .
