angle toward the middle of the wing, where it disappears ; succeeding this outwardly 

 along the outer margin is a pale submarginal light line similar to that upon the 

 primaries. On the underside both wings are fuscous, the primaries lighter on the 

 inner margin ; both are crossed by narrow and somewhat indistinct curved median 

 and curved submarginal transverse lines. On the primaries the median transverse 

 line is accentuated near the costa by a white line defining it outwardly for a short 

 distance. The curved transverse submarginal lines of both wings are defined out- 

 wardly by a very fine white line. The female is like the male. 



Expanse: 18 — 20 mm. 



Described from twenty-five specimens, none of them in absolutely perfect 

 condition. 



The species appears to be common. 



281. N. clathrata sp. nov. 



c?. The entire body, the antennae, and legs are grey. The primaries on the 

 upperside are pale greyish brown, marked by a straight transverse subbasal. somewhat 

 narrow, dark line ; there is a small dark brown spot at the end of the cell ; following 

 this is a transverse median brown line, produced in a sharp angle beyond the end of 

 the cell, otherwise straight, and jiarallel for the latter half of its length to the sub- 

 basal line ; from the apex to near the inner angle is a fi.ne dark brown line, slightly 

 curved inwardly toward the base. The secondaries on the upperside have a faint trace 

 of a prolongation of the transverse median line of the primaries, and the transverse 

 submarginal line of the primaries is projected across the secondaries, making a sharp 

 angle on the outer margin after its middle, and returning toward the anal angle, 

 vanishing before it reaches it. On the underside both wings are much paler, with 

 the spots and transverse lines of the upperside very faintly indicated. The female 

 is very much like the male, but darker in the specimen before me, and with all the 

 spots and lines somewhat more clearly defined, both on the upperside and underside. 

 Expanse : d, 23 mm. ; ? , 26 mm. 



282. N. rugosa sp. nov. 



(?. Palpi, head, upperside of thorax dark brown ; abdomen and legs pale fuscous. 

 The primaries on the upperside are dark brown, with a small white point at the end 

 of the cell, beyond which is a mass of raised dark brown scales ; there is a faint, pale 

 submarginal transverse line formed by the coalescence of semilunate pale lines, of 

 which the two uppermost, nearest the costa, are white and conspicuous; the fringes 

 are dark brown lightly checkered with pale fuscous. On the upperside the hind 

 wings are uniformly greyish fuscous, the fringes uniformly dark brown. Both wings 

 on the underside are uniformly fuscous without any markings. 



Expanse : 33 mm. 



Type : unique.
