o:J bis. Scopula sauteri sp. nov. — ^, 2.") mm. Face black. 

 I\alpiis black, beneath white. "\^ertcx white, with a faint ting(> of 

 brown. Antennal shaft with the joints scarcely projecting, cilia 

 rather longcr than its diameter; brownish white, follar brown. 

 Thorax whitish, with a tinge of brown in front. Abdomen above 

 wliitish. with scattercd brown iiToration; beneath clcarer white. 

 Forc coxa moderatelv infuscated; fore and middlc legs more or 

 less infuscated on inner side; bind leg white, the Hbia rather 

 elongate, strongly dilated, fringed above and with a strong whitish 

 hair-pencil on inner side and shorter, rather browner ,,knee- 

 pcncil". the tarsus less than one-half as long as tibia, with second 

 Joint aboiit ^/^ as long as first Joint. Forewing shaped nearly as in 

 the nesciaria group {rcmotata Hampsn., Faun. Ind. Moths 111, 

 p. 483, fig. 200, nee Guen.) or very slightly narrcwer; white, with 

 a very slight brownish tinge, imparted chiefly by a sparse irro- 

 ration of brown scales (sometimes grey-brow.i, nowhere black); 

 area between median and portmedian lines, from R' to hindmargin, 

 clearer; cell-dot small, blackish; lines brown; antemedian strongly 

 oblic]ue and sinuous, feeble, traceable chiefly from M (just pr(^ximal 

 to M^) to one-fourth hindmargin ; median strongly oblique, thicker, 

 moderately strong from R' to middle of hindmargin, at R^ nearly 

 2 mm. distal to cell-dot, behind M^ incurved; postmedian rather 

 ncar termen, lunulate-dentate, rather fine and not strong; sub- 

 terminal shades obsolescent; termen with black interneural dots; 

 fringe unspottcd. Hindwing with apex rather Square, termen feebly 

 bent at R^; Sc^ well separate from R'; cell-dot and terminal dots 

 as on forewing; median and postmedian lines continued, the 

 former nearly straight, well proximal to cell-dct, the latter m< de- 

 rately thick, lunulate, straighter than termen; subterminal shades 

 present. Ihough not very strong. Forewing beneath with base 

 of Costa blackish and with smoky proximal suffusions, though 

 less sharply defined than in kagiata Bastelb. ; cell-dot strong; 

 median line fine and not strong. but reaching costa (oblique inward 

 from R'); postmedian fine and weak, oblique inward from R' to 

 Costa. Hindwing beneath whiter, cell-dot weak, other markings 

 almost obsolete. Both wings with terminal dots. Chosokei, 1914.
