3031 Dj/scia cotispersaria Schift'. ]'erz. Geo. G.S ; Hiib. Geo. 138. 



3032 D. emucidaria Hub. Geo. 425. 



Both these species are inchided by Lederer in his list of the species of Scodiona, 

 iu the Abk. Z. B. Ver. Wieii, 1853, p. ISO ; but as cotisjjersariu was already the type 

 of Dyscia, Scodiona must sink. 



37. Dyscia incondita spec. uov. 



Forewing : dull luteons grey, with an olive tinge, covered with dark transverse 

 striae ; the striae darker along costa, especially towards apex ; inner line curved 

 at one-third, very indistinct ; outer line at quite three-fourths, blackish, ontcnrved 

 from costa, where it is followed by a pale luteous spot, then jiarallel to hinduiargin, 

 obscurely lunnlate, the lunules being concave basewards and the teeth pointing 

 inwards ; fringe concolorous ; cell-spot small, blackish. 



Hindwing : similar. 



Underside paler, the forewing luteous, the hindwing whitish, both thickly 

 grey-speckled ; costa of forewing dull yellow, with dark striae ; cell-spots and outer 

 line visible. 



Head and shoulders slightly fulvous-tinged ; thorax grey ; abdomen pale grey. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



1 c? from the foot of Nienwveld Mts., tive miles N.W. of Beaufort West 

 (Mrs. Butt). 



The antennae are strongly plumose to the tip. Iu the forewing a vein is 

 wanting, presumably 7 ; 8, 9 are stalked, 8 running to just below apex ; 10 and 11 

 stalked, lu approximated closely to stalk of 8, 9, but not anastomosing. 



38. Dyscia perplexata spec. nov. 



In coloration and general appearance a facsimile of the last species, of which 

 I should have considered it the ? , except for certain differences iu the markings 

 and neuration. The cell-spots are larger and the inner line more distinct ; the 

 outer line, as in incondita, is dentate-lunulate, but here the lunules are deeper 

 and concave outwards, and the black teeth on the veins are distinct and point 

 outwards ; along the margin is a row of black spots. 



In the forewing there is no vein missing, 7, 8, 9 being stalked, 10 separate 

 from 11 anastomoses with 8, ; 11 far back anastomoses strongly with 12. 



Expanse of wings : 42 mm. 



1 ? from the same locality as incondita, but without date. 



39. Petelia glabra spec. nov. 



Forewing : dull grey, finely striated with brown, more thickly along costa ; 

 the lines brown, diffuse ; first close to base, second from just before middle of costa 

 to beyond middle of inner margin ; outer line at three-fourths, curved outwards 

 below middle, followed above vein 4 by a brown cloud traversed by a pale 

 submarginal line ; a tine black marginal line interrupted by the veins ; fringe 

 concolorous ; cell-spot hardly marked. 



Hindwing : without basal line ; cell-spot small, white ; striae thicker towards 

 anal angle. 



Underside pale, with faint striations ; a broad {)ale postmedian band without 

 striae.
