Wings, in the larger type form, and especially in the j , grey, with more or 

 less of a fulvous tint, but never nearly so bright as in the island form, nigrozonata 

 Wlk. In this larger form, which is as large as nigrozoiudd, the markings aiv almost 

 precisely the .s;ime as in that species ; but the brown black oblique line is manifestly 

 edged extenially with a bright reddish fulvous line, which shows plainer in the j ; 

 the whole surface is more thickly sprinkled with dark grey transverse streaks. In the 

 smaller form, which seems to be confined to the <S S alone, the fulvous suffusion is 

 quite absent, and the dark markings ))roportionally developed. In both forms an 

 aberration occurs in which the dark oblique line is entirely wanting in both wings, to 

 which the name obsoleta may be applied. I have seen no instance of this in nigro- 

 sonata.

The neuration of the hindwings is alike in both sexes, the radial rising in each 

 case from the middle of the discocellular. The c? antennae are simple, but finely 

 pubescent. 



The ? ? of Ganutrtma may be distinguished from those of Al&c Wlk., from 

 which they are otherwise inseparable, by the course of the subterminal line of dark 

 spots. This in Gamoruiui runs parallel to the hindmargin ; in Alex it is incurved 

 near the costa. 



Gamoruna aemula sp. nov. 



Forewings pale grey, thickly .strewn with dark grey anil blackish transverse 

 striae, especially towards the hindmargin ; costa dotted with black. Basal line 

 indicated only by black spots (not always present in ¥ ) on the median nervure. 

 submedian fold, and inner margin. An indistinct, blackish, discal spot (very 

 indistinct in ? ), external line straight, from before apex to two-thirds of inner 

 margin, fawn coloured, edged externally with paler, and marked with black dots on 

 veins (those in ? very small), which is followed by a dull grey diffuse shade, which 

 sometimes ends on inner margin in a round black blotch. lliniKvings like forewings, 

 but with central line less distinct. Underside paler, with black strigae and discal 

 spots only. Vertex of head, antennae, thorax, ulidomen, and legs grey ; face and paljn 

 black ; tongue and pectus yellowish while. 



Expanse of wings : 41 to 48 mm.
