the lines, especially the discal line of hind wings, are strongly 

 serrated and interrupted, while in the above-named species this 

 line is more sinuated and almost entire ; finally, the abdomen of 

 the male is but a little longer than the inner margin of hind wings, 

 and the hind margin of fore wings much less oblique. Antennae 

 ochreous yellow, setaceous, distinctly ciliated in the male (in 

 hyalinalis and pandalis they are nearly bare). Labial palpi 

 bicolorous, the first article and the adjoining parts of the throat 

 and head pure white, the second and third ochreous brown. In 

 fayidalis the second article of the palpi is also partly white. Front, 

 vertex, and thorax ochreous yellow. Upper side of wings deep 

 ochreous yellow, without any lustre, except on hind wings towards 

 the anterior margin, where the colour is whitish, transparent, and 

 a little glossy. The neuration is somewhat darker scaled than the 

 cells, also the costa of the fore wings, which in some specimens 

 even darkens to ochreous brown approaching the base. The 

 markings are deep ochreous yellow, and consist on the fore wing 

 in an arched first transverse line with nearly perpendicular under 

 half in a point, and a lunule in the discoidal cell, in a distinctly 

 serrated second hne, interrupted along vein 3, and quite as in the 

 two above-mentioned European species, in an antemarginal (waved) 

 line. The upper part of the latter, however, is more distinctly and 

 more regularly bent on the fore wings and behind it ; in none of 

 the specimens is the hmd margin obscurated, as frequently occurs 

 in the allied species. Hind wings with a distinctly serrated, 

 interrupted, discal line, and a waved line nearly parallel to the 

 hind margin. Ciliae deep ochreous yellow ; marginal line and 

 another on the base of the ciliae darker. Abdomen deep ochreous 

 yellow, with paler annulations and under side. Anal brush very 

 short. Under side of wings ochreous yellow, slightly paler but not 

 so pure as above. The waved (antemarginal line) fuscous and 

 more diffused, the other markings only indicated. Discoidal cell 

 of fore wings wholly fuscous, as is also the case, but not so 

 thoroughly, in ;pandalis. Legs ochreous brown ; a spot on the 

 fore tibiae, the anterior tarsi, and the outside of the somewhat 

 thickened middle tibia3, pure white.

 yellow. I think it must have heen hitherto confused 

 with some other species. — H. J. E.]
