371 



anteniifv of male bipectenated, usually with long branches; tibia* with the spurs 

 long, the outer spurs about two-thirds length of inner. 



Fore wing long and narrow ; the apex rounded ; vein 3 from near angle of 

 cell; 4, 5 usually on a long stalk; 6, 7, and 10, 11 free. Hind wing with vein 

 3 from near angle of cell ; 5 absent; 6 obsolesceat, from above middle of disco- 

 cellulars ; 7 anastomosing with 8. 



SURATTHAC?) SANTELLA, new species. 



Expanse, 19 mm. 



Palpi, head and thorax dark cream, speckled with light brown; 

 the outer ends of palpi, both inside and out, are shaded with darker 

 brown ; antenna* dark cream, annulated with light brown ; abdomen 

 whitish cream, upper side first segment shaded with reddish brown, 

 and a brownish tinge on the next two segments, anal tuft ochreous 

 brown; legs cream Avhite; tarsi annulated with brown. 



Fore wing white, with shades and marks of light and dark ochre- 

 ous brown. There is a transverse white line in middle of wing, with 

 two sharp angulations on outer edge, in middle of wing; before this 

 line the basal half is white, well 

 mottled with light and dark 

 brown. Beyond the line there is 

 a parallel light brown line of 

 same width; between this and the 

 terminal and apical lines and 

 marks the surface is principally 

 white, dusted with brown in hori- 

 zontal streaks. About one-sixth 

 before apex the white subterminal 

 line starts from costa and goes 

 straight to termen at end of veins 4 and 5; it then goes obliquely 

 inward to fold, below end of cell, having two spurs below; it then 

 follows fold outward nearly to termen, where it is lost in the mottled 

 ground color. It is paralleled on both sides by brown ; on the outside 

 the brown shade extends to the white terminal patches. Just before 

 apex is a broad white dash from costa to termen at end of vein 6, con- 

 necting there with a small white dot, on which is a black dot. Be- 

 tween 5 and 2 is a white terminal patch containing three black dots. 

 The cilia is shining w^hite, alternated with light fuscous in middle of 

 wing and darker at apex; before the cilia is a narrow light brown 

 line. Over the upper angle of cell is a prominent rounded brown dot. 



Hind wings light, smoky gray, cilia whitish, underside the same. 

 Underside fore wing pale ochreous brown, with white aj^ical and ter- 

 minal spots faintly repeated.
