 112. Bryoptera discata ab. cretata nov. 



The present example of discata Guen. is so differently coloured from ordinary 

 forms that it seems to deserve a name. 



The ground-colour thniughout is chalk-white, varied with a few olive-ocbreous 

 striae along costa of forewing and some slight sutfusiou of the same colour on

 hindwing the two lines are marked near inner margin with deep black spots, on 

 olive-ochreous bands. 



Underside white, with faint ochreous sufl'usiou, and a slight greyish submarginal 

 cloud on forewing.
