57. Acrolophus crinifrons, sp. n. 
Antennae broken, but apparently simple. Palpi overarching the thorax; brownish cinereous, the closely 
scaled basal joint deeply shaded with fuscous externally. Head and Thorax brownish cinereous. ore- 
wings pale brownish cinereous, with a vinous gloss, except along the extreme costa and termen; nearly 
the whole wing-surface is speckled with fuscous, forming a series of broken costal and dorsal striae, the 
first discal patch is obsolete, but the one at the end of the cell is distinctly dark brownish fuscous, and 
the plical patch of the same colour is also conspicuous, both tending to be outlined by an unspotted space 
of the pale ground-colour; a small dark spot lies halfway between the end of the cell and the termen, 
and a slight shade is traceable from the outer discal to the tornus ; cilia brownish cinereous, somewhat 
speckled. Exp. al. 31-44 mm. Hindwings and cilia greyish brown. Abdomen greyish fuscous above, 
pale brownish cinereous beneath: genitalia, uncus double, with broad, flat, projecting bulge, above, and 
considerably beyond, the very short inverted points; claspers broadly spoon-shaped. Legs smooth ; 
brownish cinereous.

line of scales from costa to tornus, running parallel to the termen ; there is a slight purplish gloss over 
the wing-surface ; cilia concolorous with the paler portions of the ground-colour. Hyp. al. 32-44 mm. 
Hindwings brownish fuscous ; cilia slightly paler. Abdomen greyish fuscous, hairy at the base: 
genitalia, uncus with a strong projecting point at the angle of deflection, equal in length to the double

59. Acrolophus punctata Druce. 
Anaphora punctata Druce Ann-Mag. NH. (7s) ‘7 443 (1991) - 
This species is characterised by a curved, irregular, dark streak, produced from the lower angle of the cell, 
which, after approaching the termen below the apex, reverts nearly to the costa, and forms, as it were, 
a continuous chain with the large and conspicuous dark plical patch. The uncus is double, the points 
slightly divergent, and at right-angles with the stem, which is somewhat produced and angular at the 
point of bending, reaching as far as the ends of the spoon-shaped claspers,— Wlsm. MS. 812/1904.
