NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. . 377 



(especially proximally) ; posterior part grey, merging gradually into the brown, 

 tornus and adjaoent part of liindmargin slightly hoary, SM- brown ; a small black 

 discil dot, slightly pale-snrromided ; a tine black (towards costa brown) line from 

 scarcely beyond one-third costa, extremely oblirpie outward almost to cell-dot, then 

 equally oblique inward to behind M, longitudinal outward (almost parallel with 

 fold) for 2"5 mm., then subcrennlate back to costa, parallel with termea ; another 

 fine black line from hindmargin near base, very obliqne outward, curving after 

 crossing SM-, then almost parallel with fold, very acutely angled at 3 mm. from 

 termen, running back obliquely inward to before middle of hindmargin ; a narrow 

 grey distal-marginal shade ; a fine, slightly interrupted black terminal line ; fringe 

 rather lung, with a slight dark line in centre, followed distally by a tine pale line. 



H'uulwiiKj with C approximated to SC to near middle of cell, SC- stalked ; pale 



brown, with slight- grey sutTusion, the inner-marginal region predominantly grey, 

 somewhat mixed with hoary ; discal dot obsolescent ; a very fine, somewhat waved 

 blackish postmedian line from abont two-thirds inner margin, nearly parallel with 

 termen to across M-, then curved, thence nearly 3 mm. from termen, becoming 

 weaker. 



Forewing beneath with the lines and terminal grey shade obsolete. Hindwing 

 beneath more uniformly brownish than above ; discal dot rather better expressed ; 

 postmedian line present, though not strong.

129. Axiodes tripartita sp. no v. 



cJ, 3U-3.5 mm. Head, body and legs grey, somewhat mixed with brown. 



Forewimj with termen pretty regularly and not deeply crenulate ; grey with 

 scattered blackish irroration, the median area strongly clouded with brown (least so 

 in the cell), proximal area with some black shading at costa ; terminal area with 

 some vague brown shading in its distal half, except at apex and between R- and M' ; 

 lines strong ; antemedian from costa at about one-fourth, oblique outwards to M, then 

 nearly vertical, a small outward tooth at SM-, finally somewhat oblique inwards ; 

 postmedian from costa at somewhat beyond three-fourths, nearly straight to behind 

 R', then right-angled, running basewards parallel with costa to M', then more 

 curved to M^, a small outward lobe between this and SM-, reaching hindmargin 

 rather near antemedian line ; discal dot strong ; fringe spotted with brown at the 



vein-ends, tips whitish. Hindwing more uniformly shaded with brown ; discal 



dot less strong; a not very strong sinuous postmedian line, vaguely pale-shaded 

 distally ; fringe also brownish, with browner spots at vein-ends, tips white. 



Forewing beneath almost uniform brown-grey, costal edge more ochrcous, 

 spotted with fuscous. Hindwing beneath grey, with strong, coarser brown irroration. 

 Fringes nearly as above.

 in coll. Brit. Mus. 



130. Axiodes inaequalis sp. nov. 



(?, 30 mm. Face and palpus grey, mixed with red-brown. Head and thorax 

 grey, somewhat mixed with brown, a brown line across patagia. Abdomen grey, 

 mixed with brown.
