242 Mr. B. Meyrick on Pyralidina from 



Antennae li<*ht fuscous, ciliations one-half. Abdomen pale greyish- 

 ochreous irrorated with fuscous, segmental margins white. Anterior 

 legs dark fuscous, apex of tarsal joints whitish; middle and 

 posterior legs white. Fore wings rather elongate-triangular, costa 

 posteriorly moderately arched, apex obtuse, hind margin rather 

 oblique, rounded beneath; fuscous; lines slender, dark fuscous; 

 first from one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin, 

 indistinct ; second from three-fourths of costa, slightly indented 

 above middle, near above anal angle abruptly bent in upwards to 

 beneath discal spot, and again rectangularly bent to two-thirds of 

 inner margin ; a very small round spot finely outlined with dark 

 fuscous beneath costa beyond first line, and a curved oblong-trans- 

 verse discal spot finely outlined with dark fuscous beyond middle ; 

 a cloudy dark fuscous somewhat interrupted hind-marginal line ; 

 cilia whitish-grey, with a cloudy grey interrupted line. Hind 

 wings with colour, second and hind-marginal lines, and cilia as in 

 fore wings ; a cloudy oblique transverse-linear dark fuscous discal 

 spot before middle.

 E. capnochroa, but quite without costal spots, bars in 

 cilia, or white centre of discal spot.

 '1886, 429, pi. x., 9. 



This is the insect formerly alluded to by me as Felder's 

 Botys beatalis ; I now think this identification erroneous, 

 and regard Felder as having probably intended a species 

 of Metallarcha.
