Lozotaenia fuscolineana. n. s. — Fore wings gray, slightly clouded with dark 

 fuscous towards the tip and at the base, and marbled with blackish brown lines 

 especially towards the tip. The basal patch is well marked by two parallel, 

 blackish-brown, angulated lines. The central fascia, which is nearly trans- 

 verse is dark-brown, and margined on each side by a blackish-brown line. 

 The gray space on the basal side of the central fascia, has a slender, central 

 blackish-brown line. The space exterior to the central fascia is clouded with 

 fuscous, except a gray space above the anal angle and varied with delicate 

 blackish-brown lines. Hind wings grayish-fuscous. 



I think this imago can scarcely belong to this genus, but there is no 

 other known to me in which it can be placed with more propriety. 

 The costa is regularly arched from the base to the tip of the wing, 

 with the costal fold not appressed. The apex of the wing is not pro- 

 duced upwards and the hiuder margin is obliquely rounded. Inde- 

 pendent of other considerations, the costal fold is not broad enough, to 

 suggest the probability of its belonging to Ptycholoma, and this and 

 the present one are the only genera amongst the Plicatx, known to 

 me, in which it can be placed.
