undev surface also very similar to M. Tnendaculalis , but the iuternal 

 border of the primaries greyish white ; the secondaries decidedly

 brownish line, and margined with the same colour ; wings below 

 ochreous, irrorated with ferruginous towards the apices ; internal

Eockhampton. 



38. Jlialpocliarcs pusilla, n. s. 



Somewhat allied to T. j^arva, though altogether more brightly 

 coloured ; primaries with the ground colour whity brown, crossed 

 before the middle by an internally diffused oblique castaneous 

 band, its outer edge sharply defined, followed almost immediately 

 by an internally diffused greyish band, its outer edge bounded by 

 a darker sinuous discal line ; a broad patch of castaneous below the 

 apex, and a second at external angle, with a slender arched con- 

 necting line of the same colour ; four submarginal white dots, the 

 three upper ones crossing the subapical patch, and the fourth upon 

 the inferior patch ; a marginal series of blackish dots followed by
