Apatsla tota n. s. One male specimen of a species witli whitl.sli 

 secondaries showing trace of a mesial dotted line and allied to 

 Radcliffei. Fore wings of the same soft gray; a hasal hiack and 

 narrow streak connects with the inner line of the geminate transverse 

 anterior line, hut does not go beyond it. This transverse line is 

 even, faint, sei)arate, with a median indentation where it receives 

 the hasal streak. Ordinary s})ots very small, orhiciilar minute, l)oth 

 concolorous, ringed, o])en. Transverse posterior line nearer tlie 

 margin than in Radchffei, of the same general shajie. faintly outlined.

This species is a little smaller than its Xorthern ally, with reduced 

 ordinary spots and more whitish, while the position of the outer 

 lines is nearer the margins above and below and on both \)\\\v of 

 wings. — l^elfrage sends me a fresh specimen under the number COS.
