nearly to the tornus, but not clearly defined ; the others converging and produced 

 when united parallel to the termon, between these and the first is a curved line of 

 black spots, narrowly margined with cupreous and more or less confluent, the tcrmen 

 and apical portions slightly cupreous, a black line along the base of the shining 

 bronzy cilia ; a large triangular dorsal patch reaching to the upper extremity of 

 the cell, with a few black scales iti its base on tlie dorsum, sometimes extending 

 upward ; under-side showing the pale costal and subtermiual streaks, with a slight 

 pale line along the cell. Exp. al. $ 13 mm. — ? 15 mm. Jlind-ioings dark 

 brownish fuscous, slightly paler at the base ; cilia bronzy grey, a fuscous line along 

 their base. Ahdomen dark fuscous. Legs fuscous, hind tarsi banded with pale 

 ochreons.

The ^ differs from the ? in the paler, more brownish colour of 

 the fore-wings, in the more distinctly geminated costal streaks, in 

 having distinctly darker palpi, and in the noticeably pale, almost 

 whitish, base of the hind-wings, of which the cilia arc also whitish ; 

 the costal and submarginal streaks on the under-side of the fore- 

 wings are decidedly less conspicuous than in the $ . 



The species is closely allied to selenana, Z., but differs in the 

 much broader dorsal patch, and in the less clearly defined transverse 

 lines which follow it.

Antenna dar\ fuacons. Faljrl uni(orm\y fuscous, without white scales. Mead 

 blackish on the crown ; face fuscous. Thorax dark fuscous, the ends of the tegulse 

 slightly paler. Fore-wings dark bronzy brown, suffused with dark greyish fuscous 

 at the base, except on the costa, a large semicircular white patch on the middle of 

 the dorsum (sometimes with a slight projection extending above the fold, sometimes 

 also with a fuscous streak in its middle on the dorsum), a bluish leaden grey half- 

 fascia extends from the upper extremity of the dorsal patch obliquely backward 

 nearly to the costa, a longer fascia beyond the middle, bent at the upper angle of 

 the cell, also reaches backward toward the costa and downward toward the tornus 

 where it joins a narrower streak of the same metallic hue which runs parallel with 

 the termen throughout, these streaks do not actually reach the margins ; some 

 black tooth-like marks are exhibited on the rather pale ochreous ground-colour of 

 the ocelloid patch, a few black scale-spots being sometimes found in the same line 

 above this patch ; on the costa are about six pairs of geminated pale ochreous 

 streaklets, those nearest to the apex being slightly curved ; cilia shining metallic 

 bluish leaden grey, a dark brown line running along the termen at their base ; the
