3. Paravetta flexiiosa, nov. sp. 



One female of 36 mm. expanse. 



Differs from discinota and SikJcima by the colour and form 

 of the lines on the fore wings ; they are black, not pale ; the 

 first is twice bent, in the discoidal cell and from its inner margin 

 to that of the wing, the second nearly straight, flexuous in the middle, 

 running from two-thirds of the costa to three-fourths of the inner 

 margin. Besides, the fore wings are broader. General colour 

 pale pinkish brown, palpi and thorax darker ; basal third of fore 

 wings dusted with blackish brown ; transverse lines and a slender 

 oblique linear discal mark blackish grey, distinct. Behind the 

 second the ground is darker, first ochreous brown, then along hind 

 margin purplish grey, both colours separated by an ill-defined 

 blackish line, the upper half of which is flexuous and wavy, the 

 inferior straight, running close to the second transverse line. 

 Fringes dark brown. Hind wings paler, somewhat cupreous and 

 shining. Discal line (at two-thirds of the wing as in the other 

 species) dark, but very indistinct. Fringes purplish grey. Under 

 side pale pinkish brown ; a common discal line and the hind mar- 

 gins of all wings darker, those of the fore wings before the fringes 

 purplish grey. Legs brown with pale tarsi, the posterior pair with 

 dark brown tufts on the tibiae and the first article of the tarsi.

Mr. Elwes since has received two males, of which he 

 sent me one for examination. I observe a brush of long 

 hairs at the base of the wings below, which is also 

 present in the male of Xestula miraculosa, Snellen (see 

 ' Memoires sur les Lepidoptera,' ii., p. 195). This 

 character frequently occurs in the Pyralidce.

Two specimens in bad condition, which agree with the 

 plate of this species. Mr. Snellen refrains from any 

 observations on their generic characters, which do not
