appear more clearly defined; a rather conspicuous triangular patch occurs at the end of the cell, followed 
by brownish ochreous scaling, some traces of dark markings appear also toward the base, but the 
specimen is not in good condition ; cilia fuseous, with a narrow paler line along their base. Lup. al. 
26 mm. Hindwings fuscous; cilia with two narrow paler lines throughout. Abdomen fuscous: 
genitalia, uncus single, evenly curved downward, not reaching beyond the extremity of the claspers, 
which are rather narrow and strongly bowed inward. Legs dark fuscous.

Acrolophus linus Druce Ann-Mag. NH. (7 s.) 7 441 (1901)'. 
Antennae shortly bipectinate, the pectinations ciliate; inclining to ochreous, rather than brown. Pulpi 
recurved, not reaching beyond the middle of the thorax; very hirsute, the median joint throwing up a 
number of brownish ochreous hair-scales. Forewings: the ground-colour is partly suffused with dark 
brownish fuscous, mixed with shining leaden grey scales, the portions below the fold and around the 
apex and termen less suffused, the latter space tinged with pale buff-brown ; the median patch (referred 
to in the description) is the usual blotch which crosses the fold obliquely, preceding a less conspicuous 
spot at the end of the cell; the cilia have a somewhat tessellated appearance, in conformity with the 
general colouring of the wing. vp. al. 26mm. Hindwings pale greyish brown; cilia with somewhat 
darker mottlings. Abdomen greyish brown: genitalia, uncus wide, bent, not angulated, double, toothed 
at the apex; claspers produced beyond the uncus, bulging beneath, somewhat depressed and curved 
inward, with a rather truncate apex. Legs greyish brown. Wlsm. MS. 806/1904.

‘Antennae; g strongly biserrate; fawn-ochreous. Palpi densely clothed throughout, closely appressed to 
head and overarching nearly to middle of thorax; brownish ochreous, mixed with ferruginous. Head 
and Thorax brownish ferruginous. Furewings pale fawn brownish, with brownish ochreous reticulations 
—more noticeable beyond the cell, the basal area being suffused with pale fuscous, except, perhaps, 
along the dorsum; a series of 7 or 8 rather conspicuous dark fuscous spots extends along the costa from 
the base to vein 11, and a small, but distinct, spot of the same colour occurs at the end of the cell, and 
a large, trapezoidal, dark fuscous patch on the fold, toward the end of the cell; cilia fawn-ochreous, 
shaded with fuscous. Evp. al.32 mm. Hindwings pale fuscous ; cilia slightly darker, with a pale line 
along their base. Abdomen clothed throughout with long, shaggy, pale fuscous hair-seales: genitalia, 
uncus double, long and bent over, not reaching the ends of the claspers, which are long, bowed and 
rather narrow, with the terminal margins rounded, Leys clothed with long pale fuscous hairs.
