This species is a native of India and Java. It expands about 

 an inch and a half. 



The wings are rather narrow, and the fore-wings project 

 slightly at the tip, and considerably in the middle of the hind 

 margin. They are strongly irrorated with black on the inner 

 half as far as an angulated pale line, which is bordered outside 

 with black. Towards the tip are two black spots on the costa, 

 outside the first of which is the commencement of another 

 pale line. There are also some black spots towards the hinder 

 angle, and on the thorax, while the abdomen is blackish, belted 

 with paler. The hind-wings are grey, dusted with black 

 towards the inner margin, adjoining which is the commence- 

 ment of a paler line. 



PYRALES. 



Antennae long, sometimes nodose, but never pectinated? 

 eyes naked ; palpi usually very long. Fore-wings long and 

 narrow ; hind-wings often broad and rounded ; the former rarely 

 with less than eleven or twelve nervures, and the latter with
