3. The Icft forewing of this is like that of examplc i, but 

 has fewer yellow scales in thc ground. There is a very slight 

 distortion of veins i and 8. The fringcs are intermediate in 

 character to spécimens i and 2. The left hind wing is obviously 

 modelled on that of pilzii Q but the termen is slightly waved, 

 and vein 7 is prolonged; the wing therefore projects at that 

 point. The inner margin is slightly waved too. 



The right forewing is somewhat like the left one, but veins 7 

 and 8 are more distorted. The margin is sornewhat concave at 

 the end of vein 7 and the termen is curved, thus causing the wing 

 to be somewhat falcate. 



The right hindwing is clearly, although distorted, like that of 

 the other side except for the projection mentioned above. 



The thorax and abdomen, except that we hâve the yellow 

 scales massed down the centre of the back, are as in pUzii Q. 



The antennae seem intermediate in form, being almost regu- 

 larly, if sparscly, pectinated with pectinations one half of the 

 length of those of filziï cf. The base of the left antenna 

 however, is clear of pectinations but is thickened.

4. rhe left forevving is almost normally maie in character but 

 thc fringes are absent. The costa resembles that of pomonaria cf 

 in bcing yellow scaled, although it is provided with bristles like 

 pïlziï Q. The ground colour is distinctly light brown and is 

 traversed with the lines of pïlz'iï cf- The subterminal band is 

 ochreous in colour and passes to the anal angle. This wing more 

 resembles that of hunii cf than either pomonaria, pïlzii or hirtaria. 

 On the left hindwing, the veins are very indistinct and the wing 

 is thickened at the end of vein 7 which projects about 1.5 mm. 

 beyond the gênerai outline of the wing, thus causing it to be 

 greatly distorted ; its colour is yellow. The right forewing is mo- 

 delled on that of pilzii Q and is marked like it, but about 2 mm. 

 beyond the cell to vein 6 is hollowed eut or lacking. There is a 

 slight projection at the end of vein 6. The veins on the right
