The J antennae are armed with pedicellate fascicles of cilia, much longer than 

 in other Mesedra, except M. jumiiis, with which this species also agrees in having 

 the hindmargin of hind wing without any projection at middle. 



3:."J. Metanema fuliginosa i\>ec. uov. 



Forewinij : greyish ochreous, tinged and speckled with rufons ; a curved 

 diffuse shade at one-fourth, marked with a black dot in cell and another on 

 subraedian vein ; cell-mark diffuse, rufons ; outer line straight, red-brown, from 

 middle of inner margin to four-fifths of costa, followed by a deeper tint ; sub- 

 marginal line indicated by black vein-dots ; those on veins 8, 7, 6, 5 nearer outer 

 line, those on 4, 3, and 1 farther off, that on vein 2 developed into a black blotch 

 nearly touching the line ; fringe concolorous ; very minute dark dots at the ends 

 of the veins. 



Hinchcing : with the line antemedian, crossing the cell-spot ; the snbmarginal 

 dots farther off and indistinctly united by a shade. 



Underside pale bright ochreous, coarsely speckled with black ; costa of forewing 

 rufous ; a broad sooty-black submarginal fascia projecting squarely to hindmargin 

 between veins 4 and 6 in both wings, and again below vein 2 hi forewing ; cell-spots 

 large, smoky black ; the outer line marked by deep black spots on veins and 

 towards costa by black Innules. 



Face and paljii black ; fillet whitish ; vertex and thorax rufons ; abdomen paler.

Foreiriiii) : olive-grey, dusted with extremely fine dark atoms, which towards 

 the costa form slender strigae ; marginal area beyond the oblique line paler ; this 

 line, broadly olive-brown, starts from inner margin at nearly three-fourths, and 

 runs straight nearly to apex, before which it is retracted and bent to costa at 

 three-fourths, and is joined a little before the angle by a slighter dark costal 

 mark ; an obscure inner line from costa at one-fourth is bent at right angles in 

 cell and runs straight to inner margin at one-third ; cell-spot small, black ; 

 fringe dark. 



flindwiny : with the line central, broader, and ditt'usely edged internally, bent 

 at vein 6, followed on costa l)y a subquadrate black blotch ; cell-spot slight,
