 Albert Shaw. 



Enarmonia Shawiana, sp. no v. 



Expanse, o , 1 1.5 to 12 mm.; ?, 9.5 to 14.5 mm. 



Head light olivaceous brown on top, darker on sides, wl.ite in front ; 

 palpi, (J pure white ; $ cream-white ; the outer end of tuft and apical 

 joint smoky-brown ; the ^ palpi are shorter than 9 j antenna fuscous ; 

 thorax dark brown in middle, the patagia and an anterior band of grayish- 

 brown, a {tw whitish specks on posterior end ; abdomen dark vtlvety- 

 brown above, anal tuft gray ; legs grayish-white, shaded in front with 

 blackish-brown. 



Fore wing blackish-brown with a bronzy-tinge, a conspicuous white 

 dorsal mark and four white costal dashes in outer half. The basal area 

 extends to inner third, its outer edge is generally rounded witii indentation 

 at upper and 1 )w'er fourths ; on this lower half is a small patch of white 

 scales, above which a streak of bluish-metallic nearly touches costa. The 

 white dorsal mark is in middle of wing, it is irregular in form, in some 

 specimens with a slight spur froui its outer upper corner, in others it is 

 somewhat bifurcated at the upper end with a few dark scales on dorsum ; 

 in all specimens it sliglitly angles outward, and rarely reaches above fold ; 

 an inwardly inclined fascia of shining-blue continues from its upper edge 

 to costa, ending on costa as a geminate white spot. Beyond this is a broad 

 tascia ot the ground colour, thickly dotted with dull black on cosia, and 

 more sparsely on upper half below costa, and Hghtly with olivaceous-brown 

 on lower half The outer half of costa is marked with four large white 

 oblique costal streaks^ the one before apex is the largest, and in some 

 specimens it is geminate; the inner costal dash sends a curved leaden- 

 blue-metallic line to anal angle, its lower half broadening and forming the 

 inner vertical ocellic bar. Beyond this metallic line the ground colour is 

 coppery-brown, horizontally streaked with bl ick, between the white costal 

 dashes the costa is narrowly edged with bl ick. From the second and 

 third costal dashes a similar leaden-metallic line curves under the apex 

 before the termen, and ends in termen as a white dash about a third above 

 tornus. The outer costal dash is edged below with leaden-metallic scales, 

 opposite its lower end, but not joining it is a white dash btLnv apex. The 

 ocellic area between the two metallic bars is bright coppery-brown, 

 crossed by four or five horizontal black lines, with an indistinct metallic 

 line below. Terminal line black, cut with white dashes below apex at 

 lower third and twice on tornus. C'lia white at apex, leaden-gray below, 

 preceded by a whitish basal line.
