30. Microclysia reticulata, n. s. 



Primaries above flesh-coloured, transversely striated 

 with red-brown, and sometimes mottled with the same 

 colour upon the costal border ; two widely separated 

 subparallel oblique dark brown lines, elbowed near to 

 the costa, the outer one with a slight angle between the 

 first median branch and submedian vein ; an elbowed 

 red-brown streak between the lines, but frequently 

 diffused externally, so as to unite with the outer line and 

 form a tapering red-brown band ; external border more 

 or less suffused with red-brown; secondaries stramineous, 

 changing to flesh-colour below the median vein, striated 

 or reticulated with red-brown, and crossed from the 

 radial vein to the abdominal margin by a slender dark 

 brown line, edged externally with greyish white and 

 sometimes bounded internally from second median 

 branch to abdominal margin by an abbreviated red- 

 brown band; thorax usually flesh-coloured, abdomen 

 stramineous ; under surface stramineous ; wings with 

 transverse greyish striations ; small blackish disco- 

 cellular spots ; primaries with two fine lilacine-grey lines 

 nearly resembling those of the upper surface in character; 

 secondaries crossed by a single arched or subangulated 

 discal line. Expanse of wings, 33 — 38 mm. 



Var. ferruginea. 



$ . Primaries above almost wholly dark ferruginous, 

 the costa only being mottled with flesh-colour ; the lines 

 bordered with lilacine-grey ; the margin more acutely 

 denticulated ; secondaries with the anal area to the 

 median vein dark ferruginous ; the line bordered with 

 grey ; thorax and base of abdomen with ferruginous 

 scales ; under surface altogether darker and redder than 

 the typical form, the striations and lines broader and 

 more defined. Expanse of wings, 33 mm.

DiGONis, n. g. 



Allied to Metancma, but the male antennae almost 

 simple, finely serrated, not pectinated ; primaries with 

 the apex acute, a second acute angle at the extremity of 

 the third median branch, the margin between these two 

 angles excavated into a shallow sinus ; margin from the
