other species described; and in our species, the usual line on the hind wings 

 is wanting, approaching Opisthograplis in thai respect. The male, antennae 

 are very broadly pectinated, the branches suddenly shortening on the outer 

 quarter, the tip being filiform; the female antenn;e are moderately pecti- 

 nated, the tip being filiform. The hind wings are not so produced and 

 rounded toward "the apex as in Antepione, though more so than in Opistho- 

 scrap! is; mesial tooth slightly marked. 



The head is yellow, with reddish-pink orbits and palpi. Body 

 yellow, and wings of the same color, the hind wings being unmarked, a 

 little paler. The fore wings with a distinct discal dot and a single, oblique, 

 outer, scalloped line, going obliquely from the outer quarter of the inner edge 

 to the costa just before the apex; beyond this line, the wing is more or less 

 stained with brown; the fringe is yellow, slightly stained with dark brown 

 below the apex ; the under side of the wings is sparsely scattered with 

 minute brown scales. Beneath are two subapical lines, forming a v; the 

 fringe is brown, and the wings more speckled than above; discal dots larger 

 than above. 



The female differs in its much larger size, and in the inner line being 

 present, forming an unusually broad, diffuse, brown band, interrupted by the 

 veins and angulated in the median space; the outer edge of the wing reddish- 

 brown beyond the oblique, scalloped line, the wing becoming more yellowish 

 on the edge, and the fringe dark brown from the apex to the median angle. 

 The scalloped line re-appears distinctly beneath ; discal dot large ; several 

 other brown flecks are scattered over the middle of the wing.
