area is yellowish-grey ; there is a pale streak at the end of tlie 

 cell, bordered on both sides with brown ; and beyond this the 

 second line makes a very acute V, and then a W, turning in- 

 wards and then downwards at a right angle below the streak to 

 the inner margin. The marginal area is grey, darker towards 

 the fringes, which are preceded by a festooned black sub-ter- 

 minal line. The hind-wings are orange, crossed by an irregular 

 Y-shaped mark, curving round by the anal angle to the inner 

 margin. The fringes are grey, and are preceded by a festooned 

 black line, on which stand two large black blotches. 



FAMILY HYPOCALID.^. 



This is a small family of exotic Moths, with oblong fore- 

 wings, and black and yellow hind-wings. They have much re- 

 semblance to some of our smaller European species of TripJmna. 

 The palpi are large, contiguous, compressed and scaly, and the 

 abdomen is black, with yellow markings, and slightly crested at 

 the base. The wings are subdentate. 



The larva has sixteen legs, and is thick and cylindrical.
