2112. Paralcis Mvisecta spec. nov. 



cJ. Foreicing : olive-grej' sprinkled with blackish aud reddish scales in basal 

 two-thirds, beyond dark olive-fuscons ; the lines black ; first from one-fifth of 

 costa to one-fourth of inner margin, obliqne outwards above and angled botli above 

 and below median, preceded by a distinct wliitish line following patches of dark 

 olive between the veins ; traces of inner dark blotches ; outer line at two-thirds, 

 distinctly lunulate-dentate above middle, angled bluntly on vein 4 and thence 

 simply waved, followed by a whitish line ; cell-mark vertically oblong, large and 

 l)lack, with a pale linear centre ; above it a medinn line, thick aud black, rises, 

 running outwards obli(£uely to 6, then luuulate-deutate, parallel to outer line to 

 vein 3, thence incnrved to middle of inner margin, the space between it and outer 

 line above middle whitish ; a broad curved cream-coloured band from apex to 

 inner margin before anal angle, meeting an arm from three-fourths of costa, both 

 more or less dusted with rufous-olive scales ; submarginal line fine, white, sinuous, 

 from costa before apex, approaching hindmargin above vein 4, then toothed inwards 

 on veins and broadly lunate between them ; median vein fulvous throughout, 

 this tint broadened along vein 4 nearly across the interval between it and 'i ; the 

 other veins fulvous in places, ending as dull fulvous lunules on hindmargin 

 alternating with the black marginal lunules ; fringe yellowish ochreous, Ijroadly 

 mottled with olive-fuscous beyond veins, and with a dark dividing line. 



In the ? the discal spot is much larger, velvety-black, scarcely showing the 

 pale centre, aud followed by a quadrate white blotch ; the curved white band from 

 ajiex is absent, being rejjresented by an obscure band of olive ; the apical space 

 between submarginal line aud the oblique outer edge of the band is white, and the 

 pale fulvous marginal area runs in as a rounded pale-scaled tooth between veins 3 

 and 4 ; fringe darker. 



Ilindwing : cinereous, darker along hindmargin ; with a thick dark postmedian 

 line, edged with white on inner margin, traces of a snljmarginal line, and a dark 

 cell-spot; fringe dark cinereous beyond black marginal lunnles. 



Underside dark slaty cinereous with an olive tinge ; apex of forewing aud 

 inner margin of hindwiug paler ; in the ? blackish, with large diffuse black 

 cell-spots followed by white patches, that in forewing large ; apex of forewing 

 white. 



Head and thorax dark olive and fuscous ; abdomen cinereous ; jialpi externally, 

 pectus, and forelegs black. 



Expanse of wings : (?, 40 mm. ; ? , 44 mm.

Foi-ciciiig : fawn-drab, slightly dusted with darker ; lines fuscous, fine ; first at 

 one-fourth, nearly straight ; outer from three-fourths of costa to middle of inner 

 margin, parallel to hindmargin, but slightly bent in on submedian fold ; cell-spot 

 blackish with grey centre, followed by a brown median line, approximated to outer 

 Hue on inner margin ; a blackish submarginal line from costa to vein 5, forming 

 slight black lunules between veins, edged with white from G to 4, the uppermost 

 largest, aud followed by a slight brown cloud to apex ; fringe concolorous ; a row 

 of black dots between veins just before margin ; a brown horizontal streak nuuiing 

 from cell to submarginal line above vein 4,
