form concolorous, very large, with black and white annuli ; orbicular also 

 concolorous and well sized and beneath this the large claviform may be told 

 by its marginal lines wliieh are similar to those of the other spots. No sub- 

 terminal line ; this line being merely indicated by a black blotch at internal 

 angle and a similar mark on costa. A row of small terminal interspaceal 

 black and white dots, opposite to which the fringes are broadly black-checked. 

 Hind wings blackish, concolorous ; beneath paler, whitish, soiled with blackish, 

 with distinct black discal mark and exterior band, and a strongly marked 

 terminal line. On the blackish primaries the terminal space is light green. 

 Antennae testaceous ; head and thorax like primaries, marked with black. 

 Sides of the face and palpi laterally with black hairs. Feet dotted black and 

 white.

In this species the costa is iminterruptedly marked with black 

 and white from the inception of the t. a. line to apex. The space 

 between the discal spots is slightly powdered with black scales, a 

 character that may be variable.

f, . — The eyes are relatively a little larger than in jocosa, and the ocelli are 

 visible. The antennae are as in jocosa, while the body is less pilose. The 

 whole insect resembles Moma fallax quite closely, but may be separated by 

 the short labial palpi, and the pectinate antennae. Rather light bright green 

 with the spots indistinctly margined, large. Between the ordinary spots the 

 cell is black. The t. a. line and basal line are black and white, incomplete, 

 subcontinuous. The space beyond the reniform and inferiorly on the median 

 space to the submedian fold is black. The t. p. line is indicated by black 

 shades which commence on costa near the apex, narrowing the pale green 

 terminal space which wants the usual terminal dots. Hind wings pale green, 

 soiled with fuscous, with a vague band and discal spot. Beneath both wings 

 pale green, the markings vague, powdery, reflecting the markings of the 

 upper surface.

In my specimen the fringes are defective so that I cannot describe 

 them. This species resembles Moma fallax, at first sight very closely, 

 the t. a. and basal lines on the primaries are linear and subcontin- 

 uous, and the ordinary spots more clearly marked. It is generically 

 distinct by the very short palpi and the pectinate antennae. It is 

 not improbable that it is Guenee's var. A of jocosa', and if so 

 the specimen which I examined in the British Museum in 1SG8, 

 and which is probably the type of Guenee's var. A, belongs to F.
