similar to the inner one, narrowed in the middle by the large tooth of 

 the mesial band, margined with a jjaler line of acute spots, and be- 

 coming black on the costa ; a minute oblique pale apical streak ; black 

 spots on the margin as usual ; fringe dusky ; no discal dot ; on the 

 pale hind wings a discal spot with two outer submarginal curved 

 lines. 



Beneath, paler, subluteous on the outer third of the fore wings, like 

 the entire surface of the secondaries, which have a submedian dusky 

 patch, most distinct on the costa ; fringe pale, interrupted with dusky. 

 Legs dark, banded conspicuously with white. 



Length .35 ; fore wing .45 inch. 



It may be known by its inner and outer broad brown bands, mar- 

 gined externally with whitish, the inner band becoming whitish, the 

 outer blackish, on the costa.

This species is easily known by the broad, dusky, scalloped, ob- 

 scurely bidentate mesial band, with a deep sinus on the outer side, on 

 the median vein ; and by the submarginal row of acutely triangular

Cidaria nubilata n. sp. 



S . Uniformly dark cinereous, with darker and whitish scales. 

 Head dusky, with whitish orbits, and base of antennae white ; palpi long 

 and slender, porrect, whitish above and at the extreme tip, dark be- 

 neath ; ends of tegulte whitish ; antennae flattened, simple, ciliated 

 beneath. Fore wings uniformly dusky cinereous, near the base two 

 parallel white lines, straight on the costa, and on the costa the same 

 distance apart as the three succeeding lines, below zigzag ; the inner 

 line acutely pointed inwards on the subcostal vein, thence going 

 stralo-ht to the inner edge ; second line acutely dentate outwards on 

 the median cell. In the middle of the wing are two parallel lines, 

 equl-distant from the other lines, white, edged within with black, 

 which are .succeeded behind by a row of obscure ringlets. The outer 

 distinct white line crosses the wing, margined within with blackish, 

 has a long curve outwards from the costa to the middle of the extra- 

 discal space, with a large, broad, obtusely tridentate expansion, below 

 which it goes straight to the Inner edge, but is minutely serrate. An 

 outer submarginal zigzag line of acute Internervular triangular dots ; 

 a white apical streak, edged below with blackish. Fringe unusually
