tortricim:. 



GRAPHOLITHINJE. 



PAL^OBIA, Meyr. 

 Pal^obia longestriata, sp.nov. 



Antennce pale cinereous. 



Palpi ochreous-brown, paler above. 



Head and thorax ochreous-brown. 



Forewings elongate, costa slightly arched at base, apical margin 

 sinuate, apex hardly produced : ochreous-brown, above the 

 fold a longitudinal white line extending from the base, 

 becoming abruptly attenuated before attaining a somewhat 

 triangular white spot, situated above the fold near the anal 

 angle. This spot is convex towards the base of the wing, and 

 very slightly concave externally ; above and before the 

 triangular spot is a small round white spot ; between this 

 spot and the longitudinal line the ground-colour is slightly 

 darker, the basal two-thirds of the wing below the costa are 

 slightly clouded with whitish, the veins themselves being 

 indicated by the brownish ground-colour ; two distinct brown 

 spots, separated by the paler colour, are situated on the apical 

 third of the costa, the outer of which is continued across the 

 wing as an indistinct fascia, becoming most noticeable on the 

 outer side of the triangular spot ; this darker colouring is 

 margined by a very indistinct paler fascia ; cilia slightly paler 

 than the ground-colour with a darker line running through 

 them near their base.
