41. Pseudosterrha gayneri sp. no v. 



One ?, 17. ii. 1901. Shendi. 



This insect flew at dusk over the grass on the plain near Sheudi ; it was fairly 

 common. 



Forewings: ochreous with a slight yellowish tinge, and before the hind- 

 margin faintly rufous ; a small black discal dot ; an oblique dull rufous streak 

 from middle of inner margin towards apex, before which it fades out ; an exces- 

 sively fine submarginal line from apex to before anal angle ; fringe whitish. 



Hindwings : white, discoloured with ochreous round anal angle ; fringe 

 white. 



Underside white ; both wings along costa ochreous tinged, and dusted with 

 jiale fuscous ; all the veins and cell-spots ochreous ; a fine submarginal line 

 distinct in both wings ; marginal line reddish ; fringe white. Head, thorax 

 and abdomen concolorous with forewings ; fillet white. 



Expanse of wings : 24 mm. 



Nearest to P. paullula Swinh. from India, in shape of wings and indistinctness 

 of markings, and quite distinct from any of the numerous forms of sacraria 

 Linn. 



I have named this species in honour of my friend Mr. Francis Gayner.
