shade, but not shining. The basal area is vertically strigulated with the dull 

 color. Its outer edge extends beyond third on both dorsal and costal margins. 

 It is succeeded by a dull fascia, twice angulated on both inner and outer edges, 

 and crossed near dorsum by a line of shining scales; above this line on fold is a 

 small cluster of black scales. There is an obscure dull fascia before apex, from 

 costa to middle of termen ; this connects with a dull shade above tornus, which 

 sends a streak up to end of cell. Cilia light ochreous-brown, cut at end of each 

 vein with darker brown. The dark color expands on the outer ends of the cilia. 

 Hind wing: light fuscous gray, cilia paler; underside whitish-gray, with verti- 

 cal brown strigulations on outer half. Underside forewing light brown, paler 

 around margins; costa and cilia dotted with darker brown. 



Oue specimen : Bred from larva spinning together the young

Phalonia nonlavaiia sp. nov. 



Expanse 12.5-13 mm. 



Head: whitish, gray on sides; palpi white within, grayish-brown outside; 

 antenna light gray ; thorax dark gray in middle, patagia and posterior end tipped 

 with whitish ; abdomen grayish-fuscous, with a blackish band on third and sixth 

 segment above ; legs whitish, dusted with light brown. 



Forewing: basal area outwardly oblique from dorsal third to costa between 

 third and middle; shining whitish, costa marked with black, two long streaks 

 near base and several small ones between these and middle fascia; a row of 

 black dots a third below costa, and a small black dot on dorsum close to base. 

 The middle fascia has nearly parallel edges; it is brown, somewhat broken with 

 whitish ground color below middle, and ending in a blackish costal spot, edged 

 with black lines and angling outwardly. Beyond this is a shining whitish fascia 

 of about the same width, but not sharply defined on either edge. It is somewhat 

 mottled with ochreous-brown and gray and contains two black dots on costa. The 

 outer edge is mottled with black, broVn, and gray. A conspicuous fascia starts 

 from costa before apex, reaches termen at middle, continues to tornus, and turns 

 up to middle of wing at end of cell. It is brown on upper third, with three black 

 costal dashes, black in the middle of wing, brown below and on the inner spur, 

 whitish and gray at tornus. There is a brown streak before apex, and the black 

 terminal line is inwardly edged with ochreous. Cilia light ochreous, with an 

 apical and five terminal blackish dashes on the outer ends only. 



Hindwing: light gray, underside whitish-gray, spotted with fuscous between 

 veins 5 ond 6; these spots are very faintly repeated above. Underside forewing 

 smoky brown, with five cream-ochreous costal spots and the ciliate spots repeated.
