 wing with the apex produced, the outer margin somewhat excised below apex and 

 with two excisions towards anal angle ; the inner margin very short ; veins 3, 4 

 from angle of cell ; 5 usually from somewhat above angle ; 6, 7 from upper angle 

 (Hampson). 



Ambia striatalis, new species. 



Shining white ; all the interspaces of both wings from middle to margin broadly 

 streaked with brown. Fore wing subfalcate at apex, margin crenulate ; hind wing
