scales. There are some ob>,cure traces o£ a 

 transverse line running from the apex to 

 the middle of the inner margin, and of 

 irregularly curved submarginal lines. The 

 margin is regularly marked with minute 

 chalky-white spots on the interspaces. The 

 fringes are concolorous. The secondaries 

 are colored like the primaries, having the 

 costa at the base shining stramineous. There 

 is an obscure suggestion of a transverse 

 median line, most distinct on the inner 

 margin. The margin is accentuated with 

 minute white spots as on the primaries. On 

 the under side, the wings are uniformly 

 verv pale fawn profusely irrorated with min- 

 ute brown spots, save on the inner margin 

 of the primaries, which is immaculate. The 

 minute white marginal dots reappear upon 

 the lower side bordered within quite narrowly 

 with blackish points. Expanse, 37 mm 



93. //. 5e.</;'«, sp. nov. $. Front, collar, 

 and upper side of thorax and abdomen pale 

 fawn; lower side pale fawn, inclining to 

 whitish. Legs concolorous. The primaries 

 are pale fawn, inclining to whitish on the 

 outer margin, which is marked on the inter- 

 spaces with minute blackish points. There 

 is a minute black dot in the middle of the 

 cell, and another one like it at the end of the 

 cell. From the apex to near the middle of 

 the inner margin runs a dark brown line, 

 obscurely defined outwardly by a paler line. 

 This line is continued across the middle of 

 the secondaries, which are colored like the 

 primaries, but are without any discal spot. 

 On the under side, both wings are very pale 

 fawn, inclining to whitish, profusely irro- 

 rated with minute very pale and obscure 

 striae.- The two black discal dots reappear 

 upon the under side of the primaries. The 

 inner margin of the primaries is whitish, 

 shining, immaculate. Expanse, 40 mm. 



94. H. cincrea, sp. nov. J. Palpi and 

 front brownish. The collar and upper side 

 of the thorax are pale fawn. The lower side 

 of the thorax and abviomen are whitish. The 



legs are concolorous. with the tibiae brown. 

 The primaries are pale fawn, crossed by an 

 obscure dark sub-basal line. Beyond it in 

 the cell is a minute brown dot; at the end of 

 the cell, a similar small brown dot, from 

 which an obscure pale brown shade runs 

 upwardly to the costa. A transverse limbal 

 line crosses the wing from the costa two- 

 thirds of the distance from the base to the 

 inner margin about its middle. This line is 

 angulated opposite the end of the cell, and 

 where it crosses vein two, at both of which 

 points there is a minute blackish, but distinct 

 mark. There is a faint and very irregularly 

 curved submarginal transverse line, beyond 

 which the outer area as far as the margin is 

 clouded with slightly darker fawn. The 

 margin is punctuated with pale brown trans- 

 verse dashes. The fringes are whitish, 

 obscurely checkered with pale brown at the 

 extremities of the nervules. The secondaries 

 are colored as the primaries, with the costa 

 near the base whitish, shining. The wings 

 are traversed by an obscure incomplete 

 transverse median line, most distinct on the 

 inner margin. The curved submarginal line 

 of the primaries is continued across the sec- 

 ondaries, which are clouded beyond it, as in 

 the primaries, with darker fawn- The mar- 

 ginal spots are as on the primaries. The 

 fringes are pale and are not checkered. On 

 the under side, the wings are very pale 

 argillaceous, with the costa and the basal 

 area of the primaries clouded with light 

 fuscous. The extremity of the cell and the 

 area immediatel}' beyond it and about the 

 origin of the median nervules is broadly 

 laved with pure ochraceous. The margin on 

 the under side is marked by a fine evenly 

 crenulated dark brown line. The fringes are 

 pale. The dark brown crenulate line defining 

 the margin of the primaries is continued 

 upon the secondaries, which are otherwise 

 totally devoid of markings. Expanse, 40 mm.
