portion of the wing is mottled with rust-brown mixed with blackish 

 scales, forming a subapical transverse streak and a spot opposite to 

 the middle of the termen ; minute blackish speckling is visible in 

 the whitish cilia and along the dorsum as well as in a series of 

 costal reticulations. Exp. al. 8-10 ram. Hind wings pale brownish 

 grey, with a slight pinkish reflection ; cilia paler. Abdomen pale

200. Phalonia sitbolivacea, sp. n. 



Antennae, whitish. Palpi whitish, shaded with olivaceous on 

 their outer sides. Head whitish. Thorax creamy whitish. Fore 

 icings shining creamy white, shaded with olivaceous along the 

 basal half of the costa ; an olivaceous band, descending straight 

 from the middle of the costa, is angulated on the cell, reverting to 

 the dorsum before the middle, at its angle is a small dot of black 

 scales ; a small, oblique, olivaceous streak commences on the costa 

 halfway between this and the apex, not quite attaining the middle 

 of the termen, along which is a slight olivaceous shade, with a 

 rounded patch of the same colour lying above the torn us and a 

 small brownish dot below and before it at the commencement of 

 the dorsal cilia; cilia shining creamy whitish. Exp. al. 10 mm. 

 Hind wings pale smoky grey ; cilia whitish, shaded along their 

 middle. Abdomen greyish; anal tuft inclining to ochreous.

Antennee ochreous. Palpi whitish ochreous, slightly shaded 

 externally. Head and thorax whitish ochreous. Fore wings 

 whitish ochreous, with three dark fawn-brown costal spots and the 

 extreme base of the costa also fawn-brown ; the first spot occurs 

 at one-fourth from the base and almost meets an oblique streak of 

 a slightly paler shade running outwards from the base of the 

 dorsum; the second is large and triangular, a little beyond the 

 middle, its apex pointing outwards and scarcely separated from 

 the apex of a similar dorsal triangle almost exactly opposite to it, 

 but very slightly nearer to the base ; the third costal spot is very 

 minute and less well-defined ; from this runs a paler fawn-brown 

 band, outwardly to the termen below the apex and downwards 

 along the terminal margin to the tornns ; a small brown spot at 

 the end of the cell, almost between the apices of the costal and 

 dorsal triangles, completes the wing-markings, with the exception
