 almost sure to remark the peculiarity in the neuration in the 6. 



Phellinodes hedylaria sp. nov. 



Forewings whitish, suffused towards the co.stal and inner margins with pale 

 brownish, and crossed by numerous sinuous black transverse striae, which towards the 

 costa and inner margin are thicker and partially confluent ; the disc and lower part

 spot, edged with blackish striae; before it, on the costa, is a large pure white 

 triangular blotch. Hindwings with the disc whitisli speckled with blackish ; costal, 

 hind, and inner margins broadly bordered with brownish grey, which is somewhat 

 dappled towards the anal angle. Head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous grey. Underside
