Plusiodonta amado, n. sp. — Expanse 25 mm. 



Ground colour grayish brown, with a slight violaceous tinge, shadings 

 from dark yellowish brown to brassy yellow. A dentate line across base 

 of wing, irregular, broken, shaded with deep brown internally. T. a. line 

 strongly toothed, teeth tilled with dark brown externally, internally with 

 golden yellow or brassy yellow shading. The space between basal and 

 t. a. line shaded with brown centrally, the upper portion mostly covered 

 with brassy yellow scales not quite so metallic as those in compressipalpis. 

 The brown shading following t. a. line is separated sharply from the 

 violaceous central portion of wing, which runs down into the tooth on 

 inner margin. The outer portion of the violaceous area is limited by a 

 brownish line with a marked rounded outward projection in centre of 

 wing; it starts some two or three mm. before apex and terminates just 

 beyond tooth on inner margin, it is accompanied on the outer side by a 

 second brown line parallel to it through upper two-thirds of wing, but 

 which diverges towards inner angle in lower third. The space between 

 the lines is more or less thickly coated with brownish scales. Beyond the 

 t. p. line there is a yellowish brown shade, rather narrow in upper two- 

 thirds of wing, thence broadening out to inner angle. The terminal space 

 is violaceous, with a dark brown patch just below apex. A terminal row 

 of brownish bars between veins, fringe concolorous with terminal area. 

 The reniform can be made out as an indefinite pale ring with darker 

 centre. Hind wing fuscous, fringe concolorous, with darker broken line 

 at base. 



Beneath, wings pale yellowish brown, fore wing darkened centrally. 

 Indications of mesial band. Hind wings somewhat more yellowish along 

 costa, with faint traces of mesial band. Head and thorax coated with an 

 admixture of violaceous and brown scales. Abdomen concolorous with 

 hind wing.
