In Mr. Gooch’s collection are two female specimens, 
which, although differing in the intensity of their 
markings from the typical example described by Mr. 
Walker, I cannot consider to be specifically distinct. 
The bad condition of the original type prevents any 
very accurate comparison, but there remain upon it 
even yet some slight traces of those darker markings, 
the absence of which might otherwise have appeared to 
distinguish it from the two which are now before me. In 
one of these, on the pale testaceous surface of the fore 
wings, are to be found—first, an outwardly angulated 
fascia on the basal fourth of the wing interrupted above 
the middle; secondly, an outwardly angulated median 
fascia attenuated but not interrupted above the middle ; 
thirdly, a shade along the apical margin starting 
obliquely outwards from the commencement of the 
outer third of the costa, angulated below the middle 
and confluent along the dorsal margin with the median 
fascia: all these markings are of a darker or more 
fuscous testaceous shade than the ground colour of the 
wing. In the second example these markings are 
almost entirely obsolete, except upon the costal margin. 
I should consider this specimen as forming the connect- 
ing link between the type of the species and the one 
above described. 
The male will probably be found to have a costal fold, 
as the structure and appearance of the three females 
before me are in all respects those of the genus Cacecia.

This species seems to differ in the absence of trans- 
verse markings on the fore wings from any which are
