Basal and median spaces slightly flecked with whitish scales. Basal 

 line rich brown, not reaching to the internal margin. T. a. line 

 even, not dentate, but bent in a nearly right angle in the middle, 

 the apex of angle directed posteriorly. This line is shaded 

 rather heavily with brown at its centre. T. p. line runs from 

 costa very obliquely to the 2nd sub-costal nervule, where it runs 

 into a sharp point, turns abruptly back, forming a deep tooth, the 

 other angle of which rests on the median nervule. Then a small 

 truncate space, slightly dentate, and another indentation almost 

 back to the median nervule, and near to the centre of the wing. 

 The line then passes with a slight deflection, obliquely to the in- 

 ternal margin. This line is very broadly edged with deep brown, 

 especially on the indentations. The space enclosed by the t. p. and 

 t. a. lines bears a fanciful resemblance to a sculptured head, cut ofif 

 above the forehead, the brownish, oblong reniform appearing as 

 the eye. The sub-marginal line is a little paler than the ground 

 color, and there are seven black dots on the margin at the termin- 

 ation of the nervules. Secondaries without any marks whatever. 

 Underside, stone drab, flecked with blackish scales, a little yel- 

 lowish on the costa of both wings. Thorax and abdomen concol- 

 orous. 



Exp. wings. 1.80 inch.

GORYTODES PERSONARIA. n. sp. 



Closely allied to G. uncanaria Pack., but differing from that 

 species by the peculiar markings of the primaries. The brown- 

 ish median space is much narrower on the costa, and does not 

 reach so far towards the apex as in uncanaria. It is far less 

 acutely toothed at the beginning of the anterior line, there being 

 in the present species only a simple tooth at the middle, i. e. on 

 the median nervule. The posterior line is, however, more de- 

 cidedly dentate, having throughout its length three distinct teeth. 

 The sub-marginal line is heavier than in uncanaria, and is more 

 sinuate. The primaries are less falcate than in the common 

 species. Beneath, the whole surface is free from markings, being 

 almost concolorous, with fleckings of brownish scales on a gray 

 ground. 



Exp. wings. 1.25 inch.

I have little doubt that this species exists in many collections
