441. Selenis iEQUALis, n. s. F(Em. Cervina, capite thoraceque an- 

 tico pallide cervinis, thorace postico et abdominis basi albis, alis linea 

 exteriore subobscuriore obliqua subrecta extus cinereo marginata apud 

 costam retracta, linea submarginali cinerea undulata indistincta, alis 

 anticis acutis, vitta subcostali lata alba roseo conspersa. 



Female. Fawn-colour, with a cinereous tinge beneath. Head and fore 

 part of the thorax pale fawn-colour. Palpi not ascending higher 

 than the vertex ; 3rd joint conical, about one-fourth of the length of 

 the 2nd. Thorax, except in front, and base of the abdomen white. 

 Wings moderately broad ; exterior line oblique, nearly straight, a 

 little darker than the ground-hue, bordered with cinereous on the 

 outer side, retracted towards the costa of the fore wings ; submargi- 

 nal line cinereous, undulating, indistinct ; marginal points black. 

 Fore wings acute, with a broad, white, rosy- speckled subcostal stripe, 

 which forms a continuous line with the white part of the thorax, and 

 contains a brown subapical dot. Length of the body 4 lines ; of the 

 wings 12 lines. 



442. Selenis vacillans, n. s. Fcem. Cervina, thorace postico ab- 

 dominisque basi albis, alis linea exteriore alba obliqua subrecta apud 

 costam retracta, linea submarginali cinerea undulata valde indistincta, 

 alis anticis acutis, vitta subcostali lata alba cervino conspersa maculam 

 subapicalem fuscam includente. 



Female. Fawn-colour. Thorax, except in front, and base of the abdo- 

 men white. Wings moderately broad ; exterior line white, oblique, 

 nearly straight, acutely retracted towards the costa of the fore wings ; 

 subraarginal line cinereous, undulating, very indistinct ; marginal 

 points black. Fore wings acute, with a broad, white, fawn speckled 

 subcostal stripe, which contains a brown subapical spot, and is exca- 

 vated hindward at the end. Length of the body 4 lines ; of the wings 

 12 lines. 

 This species closely resembles S. eequalis, and forms the transition be- 

 tween it and S. incequalis ; it may be distinguished by the subcostal stripe, 

 which is less regular in its outline, by the exterior line, which is obsolete in 

 the hind wings, and by a blackish spot near the interior angle of the hind 

 wings. 



443. Selenis in^qualis, n. s. Fcem. Ochraceo-cervina, thorace 

 postico abdominisque basi albidis, alis linea exteriore subobscuriore 

 subundulata costam versus albo marginata, linea submarginali e punc- 

 tis nigricantibus, alis anticis vitta subcostali lata albida purpurascenti- 

 rufo conspersa, maculas duas fuscas subapicales includente. 



Female. Ochraceous fawn-colour. Palpi stouter than those of the two
