 (the best time for sugg,ring here) are rather rare, and I have

leucaniidt?^:. 



Mr. Skellon has sent no less than nine species of this family, 

 four of Avhich (all probably new to science) are so mvich broken 

 as to be unfit for description ; of these, Nos, 25, 38 and 58 

 are typical Leucanue, and No. 62 apparently an Ipana, biit too

3. fjeucania atristriga (No. 30).

 by a gradually expanding diffused brownish longitudinal streak 

 which, towards the base, encloses a slender curved blackish line; 

 slender brown longitudinal lines near the base of the median 

 interspaces, and black dots between them upon the veins, so as 

 almost to form a continuous zigzag line; external border formed 

 of two triangular brown patches with dentated inner edges, the 

 two together having a ^-shaped iimer margin ; base of costal 

 border Avhite, bounded on each side by a short slender blackish 

 line ; discoidal spots linear, brownish with white borders, the 

 orbicular modified into an elongated c_-sha,pecl marking and 

 transfixing the reniform, which is lunate ; a series of black 

 marginal dots ; fringes brown, intersected by white lines at the 

 extremities of the veins ; secondaries greyish-brown with bronzy 

 reflections, the external border and a discocellular lunule rather 

 darker ; fringe Avhite ; body pale sandy-brown, thorax white
