 Species. — T. bolteri Hulst, n. sp. 



T. bolteri n. sp. — Expauds 32 mm. Palpi fuscous ; front fuscous clay color; 

 thorax fuscous clay anteriorly, becoming light fuscous gray posteriorly, with a 

 lunule of black at middle of each patagia, and a black dorsal spot posteriorly on 

 thorax. Abdomen dull whitish, with black spots dorsally on each segment; fore 

 wing whitish, with an olive tint basally, somewhat mixed with fuscous scales and 

 with mucli of black in lines and shadings, these giving the wing an irregularly 

 whitish and black appearance ; first there is a black costal spot at extreme base, 

 then a blackish clouding darkest at costa on basal field ; basal line black, curved 

 and angled, the largest angle being on subraedian space inwardly ; a somewhat 

 indefinite middle intra-discal black line, zigzag, with two angles on each side, 

 followed outwardly with blackish cloudings: discal spot black, distinct; outer 

 line bent, rounded, black, with long teeth running on outer side out on veins; 

 submarginal blackish cloudings and a row of black intervenular spots: hind 

 wings white, with black discal spots and loose blackisii cloudings outwardly, these 

 being parts of somewhat indeterminate cross-lines; beneath almost as above, but 

 with ground color more fuscous and less clear; antennai of % black. Legs light 

 fuscous, spotted with black on coxte and femora, becoming solid black anteriorly 

 on tibia and tarsi. The single % specimen gives the impression that in newly- 

 emerged specimens the fore wings have a decided olive or greenish shading.

Mr. Meyrick joins this genus with Crocota Hiib., whose tyj)e is 

 lutearia Fab., but it is definitely separate by the undeveloped tongue. 

 There is some difference in the length of the [)alpi, but it is neither 

 marked nor definite; Guenee puts cjilvar'm Fab. and its allies under
