Species. —M. occiclentalis Hulst, n. sp. 



M. occi den talis n. sp. — Expands 40-50 mm. Very much like Azelina 

 peplavia var. hnbnerata, but considerably larger, and heretofore catalogued as the 

 Pacific form of tliat variety. It may be distinguished by the antennje of the % 

 and is probably a " species darwiniana," in which tlie colors have persisted, while 

 the antenna! structure is modified.
