624 Pieter C. T. Snellen on a 



Genus Bradina, Led., Wien. Ent. Mon., vii., p. 424. 

 191. Bradina ? pionealis, nov. spec. 



A fine and fresh female of 25 mm. expanse. 



Tliis species will probably form a new genus ; the base of vein 11 

 of fore wings is recurved, and the veins 8 — 10 stalked ; but as I do 

 not know the male, which may be endowed with still other 

 characters, I prefer to incorporate pionealis provisionally in 

 Bradina, which, with it, seems to have affinities, though the palpi 

 are rostriform and pointed. In general appearance the species 

 reminds one of the genus Pionea, and also of my Odontia (better, 

 Orobena, Sect. B) exoticalis, Tyds. v. Ent., 18, p. 191, pi. 11, f. 3, 

 from Columbia, being smaller, the fore wings more elongated, their 

 hind margin more oblique, the inner without tooth. Front a little 

 obtusely prominent, ochreous brown, white-edged. Palpi twice as 

 long as the head, porrect, pointed, the basal half white, the second 

 ochreous brown. Antennae setaceous. Thorax, fore wings, and 

 fringes sordid straw-yellow, with a faint olivaceous tinge ; the 

 wings smooth, a little shining ; they are unieolorous, with a black 

 spot at one-fourth of cell 1 6, and a second further on at three- 

 fifths, which is crossed by an indistinct, slender, denticulated line 

 originating from a short, oblique, black streak at two-thirds of the 

 costa, and ending in a black spot at three-fifths of inner margin ; 

 on the disco-cellular there is another black dot, minute but distinct, 

 others on the marginal line. Hind wings yellowish white, shining, 

 unmarked. Abdomen whitish. At the under side the fore wings 

 are marked as above, grey, the outer third behind the transverse 

 line, from vein 7 to inner margin, pale yellow. Hind wings as on 

 upper side. Legs yellowish.

 having lost its label, I can give no exact locality. —
