Genus ZETHES Rambur. 

 262. Z. grisea sp. nov. 



d. Palpi pale yellowish brown; front whitish; thorax and upperside of abdomen 

 Xiale wood brown ; the underside of the thorax and abdomen white ; legs whitish, 

 marked externally by brown dots ; tarsi pale brown ringed with white. The primaries 

 and secondaries on the upperside are pale wood brown with an indistinct reniform 

 spot in the cell of the primaries ; a pale ochreous line, defined externally and 

 internally by darker brown, runs from the costa of the primaries, near the middle, 

 obliquely outwardly to beyond the end of the cell, and then returns at a sharp angle 

 to the inner margin of the primaries, and is continued as a straight line across the 

 secondaries to the inner angle. Beyond this sharply defined line, near the apex of 

 the primaries and near the outer angle of the secondaries, are some clouded brown 

 markings. Both wings on the underside are pale grey, tinted with ochreous near the 

 base and laved with purplish grey externally. Upon the primaries there are some 

 faint traces of a transverse median and transverse submarginal dark line, and in one 

 specimen a black point at the end of the cell of the primaries. 



Expanse : 30 — 38 mm.

(J. Palpi brown, marked outwardly with white spots ; front, collar, thorax, and 

 tipperside of abdomen brown, lowerside of thorax and abdomen whitish ; legs pale 

 brown; tarsi dark brown, ringed with white. The primaries on the upperside are dark 

 purplish brown, crossed from the apex to the middle of the inner margin by a dark 

 brown line darker than the ground colour. This dark brown line is continued across 

 the secondaries to the middle of the inner margin, being interrupted only on the 

 <;osta. The apex of the primaries below this dark brown line and as far as vein 4 is 

 ochreous. The secondaries beyond the dark brown transverse line are pale ochreous, 

 marked near the inner angle by some dark brown shades ; there are also a few obscure 

 submarginal spots and lines ; the fringes are brown checkered with paler brown. Both 

 primaries and secondaries on the underside are pale yellowish fuscous, traversed by 

 «n obscure median and linibal transverse line and marked at the end of the cell 

 hy an obscure brown oval spot. 



Expanse : 32 mm.
