One male and three females, all in good condition, two of them from 

 Dr. Barnes's collection, two from my own. This is allied to velleripennis, 

 which I have from the same locality, but is not so black, and the vestiture 

 is somewhat more roughened. The type of maculation is much the same, 

 but in the old species there is no yellow powdering. Pjmctigera, which 

 is also allied, is a smoother species, in which there is a brownish tinge, 

 and the yellow margins to the ordinary spots are broader, not made up of 

 elevated individual scales. 



Hadena hultata, n. sp. — Ground colour a reddish luteous, powdered 

 and overlaid by a darker, more brownish colour, in which there is a vague 

 rosy or coppery tinge. Head and collar concolorous, somewhat deeper 

 in shade, collar and patagia well marked, but not up-lifted, dorsal tuftings 

 small. Primaries with all the usual maculation obvious, but variably 

 distinct, never contrasting, Basal line single, narrow, irregular, outwardly 

 oblique. T. a. line single, irregular, as a whole a little outcurved, tending 

 to obsolescence, sometimes with a paler preceding shade. Median shade 

 line a little smoky, outwardly oblique through the bottom of reniform, 

 then forming almost a right angle, evenly oblique to the inner margin. 

 T. p. line smoky, single, almost crenulate, outwardly "bent over cell and 

 evenly oblique below. S. t. line of the pale ground, a little sinuate, feebly 

 defined. A series of dusky terminal lunules, beyond which is a yellow 

 line at the base of the fringes. Claviform of good size, broad, reaching 

 the median shade, concolorous, outlined in coppery red-brown. 

 Orbicular round or nearly so, moderate in size, outline and centre a little 

 darker than ground. Reniform large, a little constricted, darkened by the 

 median shade. Secondaries smoky-yellowish with a glistening surface, 

 a vague smoky discal spot and extra median line. Beneath yellowish, 

 with a smoky exterior line and discal spot on all wings. 



Expanse : i. 40-1. 50 inches = 35-38 nim.
