 darker.

Rhodostrophia olivacea -sp. nov. 



Fm-eivinr/s : dull yellowish ulive, sufi'used in parts with dull rosy; discal spot 

 round, brown ; a slightly curved oblique fascia beyond the middle dull ros}', followed 

 by a fine subterminal line, which is denticulated inwards, and forms a series of small

This may be the ? of Butler's mra, of which only c? c? are known; but it is 

 much larger, more ro.sy, and the suliterminal line takes a diiierent course.
