Moma iybo, n. sp. — Expanse : ^ 34 mm., $ 36 mm. 



Colour bluish green, of about the same shade as gerninaia. Lines 

 black, double but fragmentary, lighter filled. Basal half line represented 

 by one or two dots on costa, and one or two on basal dash. T. a. 

 irregular, broken, a dot on costa remaining, together with a heavy mark 

 in middle of wing, prolonged as a well-marked basal dash to base, broadly 

 exserted as a finer line below submedian vein to inner margin. The outer 

 accompanying line is rather widely removed in centre of wing, but 

 more closely approximated at costa and inner margin, quite faint and 

 poorly defined. The median shade is represented by a double line, the 

 inner well defined, the outer faint and fragmentary. The inner is heavy 

 above and to outer side of orbicular, narrow and irregular though quite 

 continuous the rest of its course. T. p. double, scalloped. The inner 

 line faint, fragmentary, widely removed from outer, which is widely 

 exserted around cell, then deeply incurved to inner margin. It is 

 irregular, usually heavy below costa, opposite cell and at lower third, 

 reduced to a fine line or almost disappearing in other places. S. t. line 

 much closer to t. p. line than to margin, emphasized by a more or less 

 evident following paler shade. The space between it and t. p. more or
