244 Mr. E. Meyrick's descriptions of 



of anterior tibia; dark ftiscous ; posterior tibifc with outer middle- 

 spur one-half, outer end-spur two-thirds of inner. Fore wings 

 triangular, costa sinuate, posteriorly gently arched, apex obtuse, 

 hind margin faintly sinuate, obliqiie ; ochreous-orange ; a fuscous 

 streak along anterior half of costa ; base and a ciu'ved shade near 

 base fuscous ; first line dark fuscous, from one-fourth of costa to 

 beyond one-third of inner margin, rather irregular ; three fuscous 

 discal spots, margined with dark fuscous ; first moderate, round, 

 anteriorly margined by first line, above suffused into costal streak ; 

 second large, transverse-oblong, somewhat curved, touching costal 

 streak at one-half, reaching half across wing ; third small, round, 

 beneath and between first and second, touching each ; two in- 

 distinct fuscous suffusions transversely placed between middle and 

 second line ; second line dark fuscous, somewhat irregular, from 

 costa at four-fifths, indented above iniddle, to near anal angle, 

 thence widely broken, recommencing bcneatli lower margin of 

 second discal spot at two-thu'ds from costa, and continued to inner 

 margin at four-fifths ; an in-egular fiiscous hind-marginal band, its 

 anterior edge near and parallel throughout to second line ; a darker 

 fuscous hind-marginal line ; cilia grey, with a dark grey line near 

 base. Hind wings ochreous-orange ; a round spot outlined with 

 dark fuscous beneath costa at one-third, connected with inner 

 margin before anal angle by a straight dark fuscous line ; second 

 Une dark fuscous, fi'om two-thirds of costa to hind margin below 

 middle, rather strongly indented above middle, and again less 

 strongly near lower extremity, preceded by a broad fuscous 

 suffusion, and followed by an ochreous-orange line, beyond which 

 the hind-marginal space is wholly fuscous ; hind-marginal line and 

 cilia as in fore wings. 



The antennal characters, though of the same general 

 type, are quite distinct from those of any other species.
