disco-cellulars extremely slender, concave, radial from the middle ; 

 four median branches, the two upper on a footstalk from end of 

 cell at one-fifth beyond its end, next also from end of cell, the 

 lowest at one-fifth before end of cell ; submedian straight. Hind 

 wing hatchet-shaped, apex slightly produced, exterior margin con- 

 vex in the middle, cell short, less than one-third the length of the 

 wing ; three subcostals, first and third from end of cell, second 

 from below first at half its length ; disco-cellular extremely slender, 

 concave, radial from its extreme lower end, upper and middle 

 median branches from end of cell, lower at one-fourth, submedian 

 and internal veins straight. Body long, slender, and extending 

 half its length beyond the hind wings in the male ; palpi projected 

 forward considerably, flattened at the sides and pointed at the tip, 

 hirsute. Antennae slender, minutely serrated from about half its 

 length to the tip. Legs long, smooth ; middle tibiae armed with 

 two terminal spm-s, hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, one pair 

 medial the other terminal. 



Distinguishable from the genus Cataclysta by the com- 

 paratively shorter wings and thin triangular form, the 

 porrect character of the palpi in both sexes, and also in 

 its robust form. 



G21. Girtcxta argejituosalis, n. sp. 



Luteous. Fore wings with six glistening silvery upright trans- 

 verse nearly straight bands ; subbasal, ante-medial, medial, and 

 post-medial equidistant ; fifth discal curved and broken below the 

 middle, the lower portion terminating on the hinder angle ; sixth 

 submarginal, not reaching the hinder angle. Hind wings paler ; 

 costal portion whitish, patched with glistening silver, indicating 

 portions of the bands corresponding to the outer bands of the fore 

 wings; but in the eight examples before me — all good specimens — 

 the submarginal band is the only one approaching completeness ; 

 marginal line on both wings brown ; cilia whitish. Under side 

 dull greyish, with some of the bands, of a dull grey colour, of the 

 fore wings showing through. Expanse of wings f^ — -^^ in.
