extremitj' of vein 4, is broadly dark brown. On the under side the markings of the 

 upper side are reproduced, but less distinctly and more diffused, and the outer half 

 of both wings is more or less shaded with greenish. On the fore wings the ends of 

 the nervules are distinctly accentuated by dark brown dots, between the apex and 

 vein 4, and on the hind wing, in a similar manner, the ends of the nervules between 

 the upper angle and vein 4 are tipped with dark brown, while the fringes of the straight 

 portion of the outer margin between the anal angle and vein 4 are pale greenish white 

 without maculations. Expanse, 40 mm. 



The type, which is unique, was taken at Medje in July 1914 and 

 is deposited in The American Museum of Natural History. 



I refer the insect to the genus Gonanticlea provisionally. It seems 

 by i-eason of the straightness of the posterior margin of the hind wing 

 from the anal angle to the extremity of vein 4 to differ, but otherwise 

 corresponds very well with Swinhoe's description and figure of the genus. 



Acidaliinae 

 AciDALiA Treitschke 



(667) 1. Acidalia (?) medjaria, new species 



cf. Closely resembling Pseudasthena pcnnutans Hampson (cf. 111. Lep. Het. in 



B. M., 1892, VIII, p. 123, PI. run, figs. 17-21) but very much smaller in size, and 



differing in the markings of the wings. Hampson gives the 



expanse of his species from Ceylon as "one inch" =25 mm.; 



the insect before me has an expanse of only 13 mm., that is 



to say it is only about half the size of the moth described and 



figured by Hampson. In its coloration it closely resembles the 



female specimen represented by Hampson in his figure 20, but 



Fig. 6. the pale yellow outer border is relatively wider in A. medjaria, 



Acidalia medjaria. and the dark inner area of the wing is solidly deep purplish 



^- T- pink, without any trace of transverse lines or punctulations. 



The type was taken at Medje, June 26, 1910, and belongs to The 

 American Museum of Natural History. 



Hampson, in his 'Moths of India,' III, p. 419, sinks Pseudasthena 

 Moore as a synonym of Cambogia Guenee and puts his Pseudasthena 

 permutans into Acidalia {loc. cit., p. 441). As A. (?) medjaria seems to 

 me to be congeneric with permutans, I follow Hampson provisionally, 

 at the same time expressing a doubt as to the correctness of the 

 reference to the genus Acidalia, the typeof which is A. oc^ra^o (Scopoh).

There is one specimen taken at Matadi, June 24, 1909. We have a 

 long series of specimens in our collections.
