406 Mr. Butler's descriptions of Lepidoptera- 



line ; two dusky spots placed obliquely at the end of the cell 

 (indicating the reniform spot) ; an angulated series of short longi- 

 tudinal black dashes across the disc, and a marginal series of black 

 dots ; secondaries greyish white, with a broad external grey border, 

 upon which is the usual oval whitish spot ; fringe cream-coloured, 

 spotted with grey at apex ; body greyish white ; primaries below 

 whity brown, with two spots in the cell and an arched band beyond 

 it grey ; secondaries and body below cream-coloured. Expanse of 

 wings, 28 mm. 



Peak Downs. 



Canthylidia, n. g. 



Probably nearest to Heliocheilus, but with more nearly the 

 general aspect of Heliothis or Leucania, especially in the form of 

 the wings ; the primaries, however, have a swelling upon the costal 

 margin beyond the middle, and the body is as slender as in the 

 genus Micardia (Leucanidce) ; primaries with the discoidal cell 

 extending to beyond the middle of the wing ; costal vein termi- 

 nating in the costal swelling ; subcostal emitting its first branch at 

 some distance beyond the end of the cell, and the four others 

 beyond it, the second and fifth fi'om opposite sides of the vein, and 

 the third and fourth as an apical furca ; radials emitted from 

 extremity of cell, not from the angles, lower radial emitting a 

 recurrent vein through the cell to the base, the second and thhd 

 median branches and lower radial about equally distant from one 

 another at origin ; secondaries with slightly sinuous costal vein 

 extending to apex ; discoidal cell reaching to about the middle of 

 the wing ; subcostals emitted from one point at the anterior angle 

 of the cell, and the second and third medians from the posterior 

 angle ; disco-cellulars forming a regular concave arc, from the 

 centre of which the radial is emitted ; first median branch emitted 

 near the end of the cell ; body rather slender ; palpi slender, 

 porrected. 



42. Canthylidia pallida, n. s. 



Satiny whity brown, slightly darker towards the external borders 

 of the wings, especially of the secondaries, which also show a faint 

 indication of 'a disco-cellular spot ; under sm-face cream-coloured ; 

 primaries with the disc shghtly greyish. Expanse of wings, 

 2G mm. 



Gayndah. 



The absence of the post-discoidal cell in the primaries 

 proves this to belong to the lldiuUudce, and not the 

 Lcucaniidce.
