sometimes connected with a few scales of the same colour on the 
costal and dorsal margins, and giving the appearance of a dentate 
shade or fascia ; a few darkened spots around the apex are followed 
by paler scales at the base of the cilia which are bronzy-grey. 
Hindwings and cilia bronzy-grey. Abdomen bronzy-grey. Legs 
bronzy-brown, the spurs pale cinereous, tarsal joints spotted with

Hpistetus (?) pica, Wlsm., sp. n. 
Antenne, 9, with a pecten on the basal joint ; brownish-grey, 
basal joint white. Palpi white, shaded externally on the second 
joint with brown. Head and face white. Thorax white, a 
brownish-fuscous band across its anterior margin and a spot of 
the same colour posteriorly, tegule white. Forewings narrow, 
elongate ; shining white, with numerous brownish-fuscous patches 
and dots ; an elongate brownish-fuscous patch at the base of the 
costal margin reaches to the fold on its inner half ; this is followed 
before the middle of the wing by a similar costal patch tending 
obliquely outwards and narrowly confluent with a somewhat 
triangular dorsal patch of the same colour which reaches to the 
middle of the dorsal margin, thus forming an oblique fascia 
attenuated in the middle ; beyond the middle of the wing on the 
costal margin is a narrow elongate patch, beneath which are a 
few brownish-fuscous dots tending in the direction of a triangular 
dorsal patch beyond it a little before the anal angle; a con- 
spicuous costal patch lies before the apex and is followed by a 
series of small spots around the apex and apical margin to the 
anal angle ; an outwardly oblique narrow patch of the same colour 
lies near the base of the dorsal margin, reaching to the fold, and 
is continued narrowly alorg the margin to the base ; a single spot 
or dot lies on the lower edge of the discal cell above the outer end 
of the fold ; all these markings are more or less surrounded by pale 
ferruginous scales, but in some specimens these are scarcely 
apparent ; cilia grey, whitish towards the apex. Hindwings grey, 
with grey cilia. Addomen grey. Legs brownish, the joints of the 
tibize and tarsi indicated by whitish spots. zp. al.,15-17 mm.
