 with black and pale intervals ; a thick difl'use blackish shade from inner margin 

 close to base, running beneath the snbcostal vein to beyond middle, and thence

 median line straight and thick, from three-fifths of costa to three-fifths of inner 

 margin ; a blackish semi-oval costal blotch before ajjex, marked by a strong white 

 spot towards base ; from this spot a very obscnre dark dentate-lnnnlate line runs

Of Walker's cxtimaria, which I have made the type of the genus, I have seen 

 i S only ; these are grey, not ochreous, in ground-colour, and have the markings, 

 more especially on the underside, so very difi'ercnt, that I am not disposed to consider 

 them the S <S oi the species here described. Sabalodes bermeja of Dognin, which I 

 have not seen, may possibly be the i of dispar.
