white ; cell-spot blackish : hindwing wholly powdered with white ; cell-spot large, 

 blackish ; a postmedian row of black vein-spots. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen olive grej^-brown ; pectns the same ; legs dark 

 fuscous, spotted with whitish at the joints. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



1 (J from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Pern (Bottger). 



Resembling .1. munita Dogn., and hardly a true Azelina ; the margins of both 

 wings are evenly crenulated throughout, tlie fringe deep ; thorax and pectus very 

 hairy ; the patagia shaggy, and extending back well beyond the metathorax, which 

 bears an erect quadrate tuft of scales ; antennae thick, simple, bluntly suliserrate. 



164. Azelina coronata spec. nov. 



This species may easily be overlooked, from its great resemblance to marcaria 

 Oberth. The outer margin of the fore\<'ing is almost smooth, the projection at 

 vein 6 being extremely slight. The space between the two lines of forewing is deep 

 brown tliroughont, the costal area as deep as the rest ; the leaden grey spot on 

 discocellular, instead of being round, as in 'marcaria, is an elongated oval, touching 

 a yellow isolated spot preceding it ; the outer line rises farther from the anal angle 

 and reaches costa nearer apex, being therefore more oblique, and straight or slightly 

 concave outwards, without any bend beyond the cell ; the outer area, instead of 

 being crossed by paler veins, is marked by a series of long, brown, pale-edged, 

 wedge-shaped marks running along each vein to hindmargin, which is marked by 

 slight pale submarginal dots. On the underside the white postmedian lines of 

 both wings are thick and straight, instead of being fine and waved, and the yellow 

 spot of forewing is conspicuous in front of a fine white bracket-shaped black-edged 

 cell-spot. 



Expanse of wings : 46 — 48 mm.

165. Bassania fortis spec. nov. 



Foreiving : olive-fulvous, striated and in parts suffused with rich olive-brown, 

 the central area with a violaceous flush ; first line ill-defined itself, indicated by a 

 pale space of the olive-fuscous ground-colour, curved from one-fourth of costa 

 to one-third of inner margin ; outer line dark violaceous, finely edged externally 

 with lilaciue, crenulated between the veins, oblique from just beyond middle of inner 

 margin towards apex, before which it is roundly bent to costa ; a large round black 

 cell-spot ; the violaceous tinge of the area between the two lines does not extend 

 over the subcostal vein, the costal area remaining of the olive-fulvous ground- 

 colour ; veins in the marginal area pale fulvous, the intervals rich brown ; a 

 dentate-lunulate submarginal line, marked by black spots on the veins ; fringe 

 brown. 



Ilimlwini/ : uniform deep olive-fuscous, almost black ; fringe rufous ; hairs of 

 the basal area and inner margin pale olive-fulvous ; a small reddish l)Iack-speckled 

 patch at anal angle. 



Underside of forewing like upperside of hindwing ; costal area broadly olive- 

 fulvons ; fringe rufous ; of hindwing deep olivc-fulvons, striated with dark, and with 

 a dark suffusion along costa and hindmargin.
