by a very narrow white line, and is diffuse 

 outwardly. Tliere is a minute black spot 

 in the cell beyond this line followed by a 

 moderately large reniform of pale green 

 twice-pupilled with dark green. A trans- 

 verse subapical dark brown line runs from 

 the costa to the middle of the outer margin. 

 This line is produced on the costa. Before 

 the apex on the costa is a large subquadrate 

 dark brown spot, between which and the 

 subapical transverse line on the costa 

 are three minute white dots. The outer 

 two-thirds of the wing are pale lilacine, 

 obscurely marbled with irregular transverse 

 faint brown lines and markings margined by 

 very pale lilacine. The margin is punc- 

 tuated with minute brown dots. The fringes 

 are pale fuscous. The secondaries are pale 

 fuscous with the margin defined by a very 

 fine dark brown line bordered by a very pale 

 line. On the inner margin about the middle 

 are some dark transverse cloudings and near 

 the anal angle some obscure transverse 

 incomplete pale bands. The costa is white, 

 shining. On the under side, the primaries 

 are fuscous with the inner margin white, 

 immaculate, shining. There is an obscure 

 discal spot at the end of the cell and a double 

 submarginal series of dark brown dots on 

 the interspaces, and a subtriangular white 

 spot on the costa before the apex. The 

 secondaries are laved with pink, have a 

 distinct discal dot at the end of the cell, and 

 are crossed beyond it by a sharply angulated 

 transverse median band. The double sub- 

 marginal series of brown spots is continued 

 from the primaries across the secondaries 

 parallel to the outer margin. Expanse, 27 

 mm.

$. The palpi broadly separated ; the first 

 joint short; the second moderately long, 

 curved upward before the e^'es ; the first and 

 second joints are densely clothed with hair; 

 the third joint is naked, aciculate, pointing 



upwardly and outwardly, the extremity being 

 level with the vertex. The antennae are 

 simple. The first pair of legs have the 

 femora and the tibiae clothed with long hairs ; 

 the second have the tibiae clothed with long 

 hair; the tarsi of the first and second pair 

 are naked; the third pair have the tibiae 

 densely clothed with long hair and armed 

 with double median and terminal spurs; the 

 tarsi of the third pair are clothed on their 

 outer margin almost to the tips with long 

 hair, forming a flattened brush. The prim- 

 aries are elongated, subfalcate at the apex, 

 with the costa gently rounded before the 

 apex, and tHe outer angle evenly rounded. 

 The secondaries are considerably produced 

 about the middle of the outer margin, which 

 is sharply scalloped, the apex being evenly 

 rounded, the costa nearly straight. Type,

122. G.callista, sp. nov. $. Palpi fus- 

 cous, genae whitish, vertex and collar 

 chestnut-brown. Upper side of thorax 

 fuscous. Upper side of abdomen fuscous. 

 Lower side of thorax and abdomen fuscous 

 with the anal extremity tipped with ferrugin- 

 ous. Legs concolorous. The upper side of 

 the primaries is dark brown, crossed by a 

 broad band of white from the middle of the 

 costa to the outer angle. There are also 

 some white subapical markings. The 

 secondaries are uniformly dark brown with 

 the fringes near the outer angle and the 

 costa pale ochreous. On the under side the 

 primaries are fuscous with the costa near the 

 base margined with lilacine-gray, and the 

 inner margin shining stramineous. The 

 broad white band of the upper surface 

 reappears upon the lower side, but is much 

 broader, though less sharply defined, and 

 reaches the outer angle. The apex is whit- 

 ish. The white spots of the upper surface 

 reappear upon the lower side and are conflu- 

 ent with the white apical area. Between 

 them and the broad white band is a broad 

 subtriangular dark brown shade. The outer 

 margin is adorned below the apex with
