inner margin. It passes from costa outwardly oblique, along inner side 

 of discal spot to oblique line, whence making somewhat of an angle it 

 runs obliquely inward to inner margin ; it is rather faint, but can be 

 followed in both specimens its whole length. A third more distinct brown 

 transverse line leaves costa at outer third, curving outwardly around cell ; 

 it then makes a broad inward curve to inner margin at about its outer 

 fourth. Another transverse line runs parallel to third and about 2 mm. 

 from it ; it is pale whitish, but in one specimen there is a quite well 

 marked brown inner edging to this, especially at costa and inner margin. 

 In the other specimen this it not so evident. There are two superimposed 

 subapical black wedges, base outwardly, resting on a short pale bar, 

 which terminates below in a small round pellucid dot, which has a minute 

 black dot to its outer side. On holding the wing against the light the 

 pellucid dot is very striking, and there can be seen a second very minute 

 one just above it. Beyond cell the marginal area it clear brownish, but 

 at apex it is mostly gray, and below centre of wings the pale shadmg on 

 veins, and a broad, rather diffuse included gray shade, cover fully half 

 the space. Fringe brown, Discal spot small, pale, upright. Second- 

 aries reddish brown, with distinct pale mesial band ; within this is a 

 narrow dark band, distinct in one specimen, fainter in the other. This 

 terminates in the upper of two brownish black spots on inner margin, well 

 above inner angle. The second lies on upper side of termination of 

 mesial band ; in one specimen the spots are somewhat run together. 

 Fringe concolorous or a shade paler. 



Underside of primaries reddish, washed with gray along costa, darker 

 reddish brown at apex beyond the distinct pale bar which corresponds to 

 the one on upper surface. A dark reddish extra mesial band and a pale 

 subterminal one. Secondaries : upper two-thirds reddish, lower third 

 pale, the line between the shades being quite sharply defined, very distinct 

 dark reddish brown mesial and pale extra-mesial bands, the latter 

 especially towards inner margin slightly edged on inner side with brown. 

 Very faint, scarcely discernible traces of discal spots on both wings. Head 

 and thorax concolorous with base of primaries, abdomen with secondaries. 

 Patagia gray, with brown transverse band, near but not quite at tip. 

 Palpi, coxae and inner side of fore tibiae brownish, rest of legs gray, 

 abdomen beneath fuscous, laterally with small blackish tufts.

 possible this may be the same as Dr. X}y2ix's pi^de/acta, the description of 

 which has just reached me.
