308. Ira somnolenta spec. nov. 



Closely related to /. suhcostata Warr. from Ecufidor, but essentially distinct ; 

 tlie distinguishing feature of that insect, the broad black subcostal streak of 

 forewing is absent, or at most marked by a few dark scales ; the middle line, 

 instead of being distinct and curved, as in subcostata, is a mere shade, plainer 

 at costa, below which it is curved round the blackish cell-spot ; the outer oblique 

 line is virtually obsolete, being marked only by pale vein-dots and the dark 

 blotch on inner margin where it ends ; the submarginal line is variable, distinct 

 in one specimen, almost absent in the other ; fringe concolorous. 



Ilinihcinti : with the three lines, median, postmedian, and submarginal, as in 

 suhcostata, the postmedian indistinct. 



Underside with cell-spots only, and no submarginal shade. 



Head and shoulders dark brown, like the costal edge of forewing ; thorax and 

 abdomen paler, like wings. 



Expanse of wings : (ill mm.
