(J9. 21-2G mm. Head fuscous-whitish; fillet white; face and 

 palpi flark fuscous. Antenna; wliitish; eiliations in ^ 1^. 

 Thorax and abdomen wliitish, with a vf.ry ff;w blackish scales. 

 Legs whitish; anterior pair pale fuscotis; posterior tarsi of $ ^. 

 Forewings triangular, costa straight for j§, then bowed to apex, 

 apex round-pointed, termen Vjowed, oblique; whitisli with a few 

 scattered blackish scales; lines grey or pale fuscous; antemedian 

 line oblique, from J dorsum, not reaching costa, sometimes 

 obsolete; a blackish median discal dot; median line slightly out- 

 wardly curved, wavy, from | costa to mid-dorsum; postmedian 

 line dentate from 1 costa to ^ dorsum; subterminal and sub- 

 marginal similar but less distinct; a terminal series of black dots; 

 cilia whitish, rarely with a few blackish scales. Hind wings with 

 termen strongly bowed and with an angle, or slightly projecting, 

 on vein 4; colour and lines as forewings, but without Vjasal line, 

 and with discal dot on or just before or after median line. 



The longer posterior tarsi of the g and the angulated hind- 

 wings distinguish this from L. optivata, but the posterior tarsi 

 are much shorter and the angulation less marked than in perlata. 

 I think this species, which corresponds to Walker's type in the 

 British Museum, was unknown to Mr. Meyrick.
