priore interius, posteriore exterius rufo-marginata, macula 
ante priorem subdorsali fuscé ; posterioribus cinerascentibus, 
hyalinis, vena subdorsali secunda atro-squamata. @.

Heec species, quae quandam Neph. roboreile similitudinem sed 
alas angustiores habet, notas prabet ad subgenus conden- 
dum aptas, quod hoc mo:lo definiatur. 
Nephopt. subgenus Ceutholopha: ale anteriores $ subtus in 
plic& fasciculo e squamis longis instructe; posteriores 
superne vena subdorsali secunda ad basim longe-squamata ; 
cellu'a median’ brevi. 
Anterior wings narrow, brown-grey, with two pale transverse 
lines, the anterior of which is margined with red internally, the 
posterior externally; before the first is a brown subdorsal spot ; 
posterior wings pale grey, transparent, the second subdorsal vein 
clothed with deep black scales. ¢. 
This has a superficial resemblance to Neph. roborella, but has 
narrower wings and such peculiarities that it appears adapted for 
the formation of a subgenus, namely :— 
Ceutholopha: the anterior wings with a bundle of long scales on 
the underside in the fold; the second subdorsal vein of the pos- 
terior wings clothed at the base with long scales; the median 
cell short. 
Ata first glance Neph. Isidis is distinguished by the short deep 
black line on the basal third of the subdorsal vein of the pos- 
terior wings, and which is formed of long appressed scales. The 
spot formed of similar scales on the underside of the anterior 
wings in the fold, not far from the base, is more concealed, 
The anterior wings are brownish-grey ; beyond a blackish spot 
but before the middle of the wing is the first transverse line, 
which is placed almost perpendicularly, and is pale, internally 
margined with reddish; the posterior transverse line is also 
pale, but blackish internally, externally reddish; it is rather 
wavy. Posterior wings pale grey, transparent, darker on the 
hinder margin towards the apex of the wing.
