Diradopsis gen. uov. 

 Exactly like liinu/es WW., bat the S has the antennae strongly bipectinated ; 

 the tnft of hairs alou^' the inner-marfrinal fold very strongly developed. 

 Type: iJiradopsis perjallax sp. nov. 



Diradopsis perfallax sp. nov. 



At first sight e.xceediugly like hiradi's leucocepkala. Wlk., but the wings are 

 not so elongate and appear broader, and being thickly covered with darker strigae 

 are dark grey instead of pale grey. The markings of the forewings are the same, 

 but the ontlines more ferruginous, and the line of submarginal black lunules is con- 

 tinued quite to the anal angle. In the hindwings the postmedian line is much more 

 strongly bent below the middle in the c? and angled in the ? . In both sexes the 

 antennae are whiter. The markings in the forewings of the ? are identical with those 

 of the S, the costal blotch not coalescing with that on the inner margin. 



Expanse of wings : 23 — 24 mm. 



A long series, including five cJc?, dated January 1S9T.
