116. Crocidophora ? lutusalis, nov. spec. 



A male of 26 mm. expanse. 



This species is again allied to the two preceding, but the wings 

 are longer and narrower, the hind margin of the first pair more 

 oblique, and their anal angle more rounded. Abdomen long, about 

 twice as long as the inner margin of hind wmgs. A depression 

 near the base of cell 1 6 of fore wings is distinct ; besides, there 

 are two longitudinal grooves behind the discoidal cell near to the 

 costa, opposite a minute tooth-like flat process on it. Palpi 

 porrect, rostriform, twice as long as the head, bicolorous, white and 

 fuscous. Antennae setaceous. Head, iipper side of thorax, and 

 wings sordid, glossy grey, the fore wings very uniform, the hind 

 wings a little paler towards the base and whitish along the inner 

 margin and costa ; markings dark grey, but very indistinct, con- 

 sisting on fore wings in two lines, a reniform discal spot, and in an 

 angular discal line on hind wings. The second line of fore wings 

 is retracted behind the discal spot, as inflavicilialis, and slightly 

 pale margined behind. Fringes dark grey, those of hind wings 

 whitish towards anal angle. Abdomen grey, paler towards the 

 end, the last segment elongated, but the anal tuft itself very short. 

 Under side of body whitish, the legs also, fore tibiae with a black 

 spot ; under side of wings grey, whitish outwards of a faint darker 

 discal line and on the basal half of hind wings ; a crest at the base 

 of fore wings, as in the two preceding species.
