small, straight, silvery white costal streaks, l)Oth dark margined behind 

 and close to each other ; behind these two streaks are two others, also 

 close together, the last one at the apex and both dark margined behind. 

 The apical part of the wing (behind the second costal streak) is golden 

 yellow, sprinkled towards the dorsal margin with brown. Ciiiae silvery 

 fuscous, with a wide, dark brown liinder marginal line. AL ex. y% inch. 

 Season, July. 



In the form and neuration of the wings, and in the disposition of the 

 costal streaks it approaches luteosU-igella ; whether it does in the palpi and

Since the above remarks were written, I have received from ]\[r. 



Belfrage more perfect specimens, and And the palpi and antennae as in 



luteostrigcUa. It may be necessary to amend the specific description a 

 little hereafter. •

Cera mica riibefacta (nov. sp.)

 usual distance from the base ; reniform ^•ao;ue and blackish, with a cjrav
