35!^ NOVITATES Zoni.or.lcAE XXI. 11114. 



c? ? . Differs at first siglit from ambuMarin in the auteterminal line being 

 pnre white, not ochreons, and this line also is sharply angled inwards at vein 4, 

 not only slightly sinnons ; the postmedian black line strongly sinuate, bnt not 

 angled outwards as in amhustaria. On the hindwiog the anteterminal line is 

 also white and sharply angled outwards, not only sianate. 



The species is most variable, the sjiaee between the ante- and postmedian 

 lines on the forewings varying in colour fVom ]>!ile lavender through slate-bine to 

 deep brown. 



Length of forewing, S lo-SI mm., SIO-'JO mm.; expanse, S 33-40 mm., ? 

 30-44 mm.

301. Itame vincularia latefasciata subsp. uov. 



Differs from the typical form in the postmedian line being strongly 

 angulated at vein 0, in the chestnut coalescing band outside tliis line being much 

 wider, and the antemedian band being more distinct.

303. Tephrina fraternaria sji. nov. 



This species is allied closely to the preceding, bnt is easily distinguished by 

 the much more pointed forewing, the grey not so strongly irrorated ground colour, 

 and the much greater width between the ante- and jiostmedian bands, which are 

 much straighter. 



(J. Antennae orange brown ; head and front half of thorax slate grey ; hind 

 part of thorax and abdomen yellowish grey. 



Forewing sooty grey, termino-subterminal area mouse grey, with median black 

 or black-buft' spot ; costal and subcostal area to postmedian line monse grey 

 freckled here and there with buff; ante- and jwstraedian bands yellow. Hindwing 

 clear grey irrorated slightly with darker scales and with an indistinct shadowy 

 stigma. 



¥ . Similar, bnt the whole forewing deep grey to mouse grey and the yellow 

 bands narrower, sometimes absent or semi-absent. 



Length of forewing, c? IS mm., ? 14-18 mm.; expanse, S 33 mm.; ? 

 31-39 mm. 



Faroult sent me 08 d S and ? ? from October and November 1912 and 1013.
