another prominent black, brown-bordered streak is in the space between 

 veins 4 and 5 ; small, brown-shaded streaks follow to the apex. There is 

 a narrow pale line at the base of the fringes, which are cut with smoky 

 brown. The ordinary spots are indicated i)y two pale cloudings con- 

 nected by a very narrow black loop. Secondaries dull, smoky gray, 

 the fringes white at apex. Beneath, powdery gray, primaries darker on 

 disk, with a smoky, discal spot : secondaries more powdery along the 

 costal area, and with the characteristic black line in the cell.

One good male received some years ago. I had considered this a 

 washed-out strigata, and it is quite possible that specimens are in collec- 

 tions under that name. I am pleased to dedicate so good a species to so 

 good a collector. 



Rancora albicinerea, n. sp. — Ground colour whitish ash-gray. Head 

 barred and mottled with white and smoky. Collar with a black, trans- 

 verse line at lower third, below which the colour is smoky, and above 

 which there is a smoky line before and at the tip. Disk of thorax smoky 

 brown or blackish : dorsal tufts of abdomen also brown or black. On the 

 primaries the maculation is clearly traceable. Basal line indicated on the 

 costa only. T. a. line smoky, single, a little diffuse, irregular across the 

 costal space, forms a long tooth in the submedian interspace and a shorter 

 one above the margin. There is a slender black basal line, which enters 

 into the tooth of the t. a. line, but does not cross it. T. p. line forms a 

 geminate smoky mark on costa, is faintly traceable in a wide curve over 

 the cell, becomes conspicuous below vein 2, and extends obliquely inward 

 from vein i. There is a series of interspaceal black dashes; those be- 

 tween veins i and 2 and 4 and 5 the longest ; the lines accompanied by a 

 smoky shading. At the base of the fringes is a series of blackish spots 

 with a gray centre. A median shade is indicated by a curved smoky 

 mark from costa over the reniform. The ordinary spots are very faintly 

 and incompletely indicated by narrow, black or smoky curved marks. 

 Secondaries smoky, a little paler at base, fringes white. Beneath gray, 

 powdery ; secondaries with the usual black mark and bar. 

 Expands. — 1.68 - 1.76 inches =42 - 44 nim.
