 apex and limbus ; under side as above, but with a single ochreous streak from the base 

 along vein 12. Ahdomen pale orange-ochreous, fuscous above. Legs pale orange-

Closely allied to minatrix Meyr., but slightly larger ; the termen of the forewing is 

 more erect, and there are five black streaks in the basal area of the wing (instead of 

 three) ; on the under side of the hindwings there is only one yellow basal streak, while 

 there are three in minatrix.

Atteva Wkr. 



Atteva chionosticta, sp. n. (Dnit.) 



Antennae dark fuscous ; basal joint white beneath. Palpi dark fuscous. Head 

 blackish ; the eyes margined by white, ending triangularly at the base of the antennae. 

 Thorax fulvous orange. Fore^mngs elongate, narrow at base, evenly widening outward, 

 apex rounded, termen scarcely oblique, tornus rounded ; fulvous orange on the basal

 the third, also round, at the end of the cell ; the second spot, midway between these, 

 is larger, elongate, and the most conspicuous of all ; of the five less noticeable spots, 

 three are subcostal, in line between veins 10-11, the last being the smallest ; a somewhat 

 triangular spot occurs on vein 12, and is preceded by a minute, round, costal spot at 

 the end of the fulvous area ; cilia blackish. Exp. al. 31 mm. Hindwings fulvous 

 orange on the basal fourth, the outer three-fom-ths blackish fuscous ; cilia blackish,
