median lieiug hent slightly inwavfls at the origin of each ; lower radial as usual ; 

 ujijier radial and last four subcostals on a common stem from the upjier end of 

 cell ; the radial parting almost at once; the second and fifth, the third and fourth 

 from the same point ; first subcostal free, rising long before the end of cell, 

 llindwings with costal anastomosing with .subcostal almost to end of cell; the 

 two subcostals on a short common stem: medians as in forewings; scaling smooth 

 and glossy ; markings a series of oblique, parallel lines.

Epicyme atrostrigata sp. nov. 



Pale grey brown, with a slight reddish tint ; crossed by wavy blackish streaks,
