distinct, becomes furcate on the disc, one branch going to the extreme 

 apex and the other towards the dorsal margin at the beginning of the 

 cihae, where it becomes confluent with the first mentioned line, but 

 immediately separates from it again, the two lines continuing on parallel 

 to <iach other around the ])ase of the dorsal ciliae to the apex. The third 

 line begins on the costa at the base, and runs just within the costal margin 

 nearly to the apex, where it becomes confluent with the second or apical 

 branch of the second or median streak. In the apical part of the wing 

 are three golden costal streaks, which become confluent with the second 

 and third longitudinal lines, and point obliquely backwards, the first being 

 rather remote from the other two ; behind these three streaks is a fourth 

 one, perpendicular to the margin ; behind this is a fifth, pointing obliquely 

 forwards, and behind this again two short curved ones, pointing forwards, 

 one at the apex and the other close to and before it. There are two 

 distinct, though small black spots in the dorsal ciliae. AL ex. 3/s inch.

As already stated, the head is missing in the single specimen which I 

 possess of this species, and the primaries are wider, decidedly so in pro- 

 portion to their length, being a little wider than the secondaries, and the 

 costal margin before the tip is not so decidedly scalloped ; the tip is not 

 hooked backwards ; the apical branch of the subcostal is not furcate ; 

 there are three branches before it, instead of two, as in luteostrigella, but 

 the last one has almost a common origin with the apical, and the median 

 is only three-branched, instead of four. 



The secondaries are the same, except that in this species the long 

 branch of the subcostal (the first branch) is absent. 



The insect is more robust than I iiteostrigdla. 



Iridescent fuscous, in some lights silvery. About the middle of the 

 primaries is an oblicjue, wide, silvery white costal streak, of irregular out- 

 line, reaching the fold, pointing obliquely backwards, divided in part by a 

 narrow yellowish line, which passes back along the middle of the wing to 

 the second costal streak, the wing above and below it being dark fuscous, 

 somewhat iridescent ; the second costal streak is white and placed behind 

 the middle ; opposite to it is a white spot, just within the dorsal margin ; 

 the second streak is dark margined behind, and the dark margin is pro- 

 duced backwards as a line along the centre of the apical part of the wing, 

 .but does not quite reach the apex, and nearly opposite its end are two
