95. EupitJiccia oenone, n. s. 



Silvery white ; wings with a fairly wide, slightly inter- 

 rupted dark grey external border, traversed by a white 

 dentate-sinuate line, beyond which, on the primaries, the 

 tint changes to yellowish olive ; a marginal series of 

 linear black dashes ; primaries crossed from costal mar- 

 gin to median vein by five or six macular angulated 

 brown stripes, indicating the central belt ; a conspicuous 

 black spot at the end of the cell ; basal two-sevenths of 

 costal border black, crossed by one or two white bars ; 

 secondaries crossed by several parallel greyish undu- 

 lated lines, one towards the base and two on the disc

 greyish ; wings below less distinctly marked than above, 

 but with similar markings. Expanse of wings, 21 mm.

 divided by the usual crenulated white line ; the discal 

 whitish stripe of the same form, but sometimes more 

 sharply defined by dark margins ; secondaries with a 

 small black disco-cellular dot. Expanse of wings, 17 — 

 19 mm.

 wise I see nothing by which to distinguish it from
