The species is separable from mcdineJla^ Stgr., by the black band 

 on the underside of the fore-wings at the base of the cilia ; it is 

 larger than onicrohnrhnra, and more distinctly coloured. 



A single male was beaten from some low plants of Livioniasfrum 

 and Suaeda, growing on sandy ground, on a very windy day, and the 

 most persistent search did not enable me to secure another specimen.

 triangular, the third elongate and extending through the costal cilia ; contingent to 

 each of these and extending nearly to the dorsum are patches of golden metallic

 Salahin, ll.III— 13.iy.l904. Twenty specimens. 



Not uncommon at light during the month of April. 



This species greatl}^ resembles siimptuoseUn, Ld., in the size and 

 distribution of its markings, but it is rather smaller, and can be im- 

 mediately distinguished by its much paler hind wings, and equally by 

 their pale cilia.
