Diifers decidedly from all the other species as yet known to nie. The 

 general hue is not very different from some others, being a dull, leaden 

 or^ golden brown, according to the light. The large, white dorsal streak 

 differs from that of the other species in not being curved ; its hinder mar- 

 gin being nearl}^ straight, and its anterior margin but little bent, so that 

 the streak becomes a long, narrow triangle, with its base on the margin 

 This streak is also rather wider than it is in the other species known 

 to me: it extends nearly across the wing, its tip being opalescent; it 

 is also but faintly or not at all dark margined. Behind it follow, at a 

 little distance, two silvery white, costal streaks, almost perpendicular 

 to the margin, and extending half way across the wing; and opposite to 

 the space between them is a rather long, silvery dorsal streak, also per- 

 pendicular to the margin: each of these streaks is faintly dark-mar- 

 gined before, and is opalescent along its hinder margin. The apical 

 patch is velvety black, and sends a process up to the tip of the second 

 dorsal streak ; this process, however, is interrupted by an opalescent spot, 

 opposite to which on the dorsal margin is another opalescent spot. The 

 apical black patch is margined above by a stramineous line, and con- 

 tains a few short, stramineous lines and spots, and two small, opales- 

 cent spots. The cilia are brown; but about the middle of the Epical 

 margin in the cilia is a white streak, which curves around tothecostal 

 iliargin at the apical fourth of the wing length, and gives th& wing;the 

 appearance of being decidedly falcate. On the costal margin: behind 

 the point where the curved streak reaches it, and near to the apex,''isia 

 triangular, costal, white streak, tipped with opalescent. " There are 

 thus only three costal streaks, or four including the curved line. The 

 part of the wing above the apical patch is obscurely streaked with fine 

 brown and whitish longitudinal lines. In some lights the golden' brown 

 parts of the wing become distinctly saffron yellow. Hind-wings, gold- 

 en brown; abdomen, brown; palpi, white, -flecked and annulate with 

 brown. The form of the wings is about as in G. haworthana. A.l. ex.,

I have not the means .of "knowing whether the genus Douglassia^, as 

 defined in Ins. Brit. vol. iii., is still retained by European entomologists
