 oblique, black costal streaks lengthening outward and alternating on the outer half

 last of which is a white costal spot above the black falcate apex, whose shape is 

 emphasised by the cilia beneath it. being clear wliite, while those at the extreme 

 apex are black ; from the base a dark fuscous j)ateh runs along the dorsum, rising 

 above the fold and thus occupying more than half the wing-width, it reaches to 

 half the length of the wing, and lias thei'e a tendency to become diffused and drawn 

 out. into lines of scales along the veins, blending with the leaden grey colouring 

 which continues thence to the ternien and around the apex, hiding also the points 

 of the while costal geminations ; about the end of the cell are other lines of fuscous 

 scaling, one of which is angidated downward, forming a continuous pattern with 

 those below it, and assisting the gradurd blending of the white ground-colour witii 

 the leaden grey shading ; terminal cilia white. 'E.\-p. al., 23 mm. llindwings and

Iliiulwiiigs with 3 and 4 stalked, and therefore agreeing with 

 laeiana, F. (the type of tlie genus AncijUs), to which species it is most 

 nearly allied. 



Ancylopeea, Stph. (=§ Epicharis, Hb. ; =-f AjicJ/i/Jopern, Stph.), 

 type lundana, F., should be used for Meyrick's Section A, of Ancylis 

 " 3 and 4 of Hindwings coincident," and to it should be referred
