NOTES ON NEW AND RARE SPECIES. 323 



discal streak, and bj the presence of the elbowed line, which 

 is formed of a chain of spots, as in Ohsoleta. 



At the hind maigin of the fore-wings in Loreyi a shade, 

 the tolerably defined edge on the costal aspect of which 

 bisects, as it were, the apical angle of the wing, presents a 

 good difference from all its congeners excepting L. Putres- 

 cenii, which possesses it though to a less extent, but to this 

 last species it bears little resemblance in other respects. 



The two following descriptions are from the pen of Mr. 

 Doubleday. 



LuPERiNA GuENEEi, H. Dbl. n. sp. 

 Alis pallide testaceis alho nigroque irroratu, strigis duahus 

 ex lunuUs confertis nigrisj pallide extus adnotis, com- 

 positis ; ciliis maculatis. 



Expansio alarum 1 unc. 5 lin. 



Thorax pale griseous, mixed with white. Abdomen very 

 pale. Anterior wings pale testaceous, irrorated with black 

 and white atoms — an indistinct interrupted pale striga before 

 the middle — then a second arcuated striga composed of black 

 lunules, edged externally with whitish ; the first striga termi- 

 nates in a rather conspicuous black dot on the inner margin 

 of the wing, the ordinary stigmata are placed between these 

 strigse, the reniform one being distinctly edged with white. 

 Between the black dots on the inner maru^in of the wino* and 

 the thorax is a slender black line. Hinder margin pale 

 testaceous, with an indistinct undulating pale line, commenc- 

 ing at a pale patch on the costa near the apex. A distinct 

 row of black marginal lunules cilia spotted with deep and 

 pale fuscous. On the costa near the apex are two oblique 

 white spots. Posterior wings pure white in both sexes, with 

 black marginal lunules. Antennae of the male rather 

 strongly ciliated.
