 dle the golden scaling covers a widei portion of the wing, and is reticulated with 

 white, becoming slightly darker or more bronzy towards the apex, around which 

 is a bronzy gold line at the base of the fringes; apical cilia golden; dorsal cilia 

 pale greyish. Hind wmgs grey, with pale golden-brown fringes. Expanse 9

Gnus CHIHABACCHG. 



100. CJtiimabacche? haustellata. sp. nov.— Palpi fuscous, the second 

 joint with a long projecting tuft, white at the apex externally, white at the base 



and apex internally, the apical joint fully equal to the second in length, with 

 white lines above and beneath reaching to the apex; head with some rough pro- 

 jecting scales above; face smooth. Antennae fuscous, nearly two thirds of the 

 length of the fore wings, partly annulated, partly streaked on alternate joints, 

 with conspicuous white scales, strongly ciliated beneath, having the basal joint 

 somewhat tinged with ochreous. Tongue rather long and scaled, whitish ochre- 

 ous. Fore wings elongate, with the apical margin oblique, the apex depressed, 

 htly inclining to falcate, brownish fuscous, with some scattered whitish scales 

 about the apical portion of the wing, and two inconspicuous spots of whitish 

 scales, one on the middle, the other about the end of the cell, the first nearer to 

 the costal than to the dorsal margin ; at the middle of the costa is a diffused pale 



pot, followed by a larger one at the commencement of the costal 

 and a third just before the apex. There are seme pale ochreous spots along the 

 inner and outer edges of the otherwise d cilia of the apical mat 



Hind wings scarcely paler than the fore wings, with a fuscous clouded line along
