medial mark from vein 2 to 5; a siibterminal suffusion 

 from vein 2 to apex and a black terminal line from tornus 

 to apex. 



Macalla melanosparsalis, sp. n. 

 Male, Head, thorax, abdomen, legs and wings whitish, more or 

 less irrorated with black and fuscous-black (xlvi) ; head and thorax 

 above densely irrorated with black ; palpi almost black, third joint 

 about J of second, evenly scaled; second joint just reaching 

 vertex of head; antennae with the shaft fuscous, ciliated; basal 

 antennal projection as long as thorax, covered with black, often 

 spathulated scales and hairs; fore-legs with femora tinted with 

 brick red (xiii) and irrorated with black, tibiae slightly so; tarsi 

 black ringed with cream-colour; mid- and hind-legs, including 

 spurs and tarsi, more or less densely irrorated with black ; abdomen 

 with first and second segment with a black mark confluent, so as 

 to form one triangular patch, with the apex towards thorax ; third 

 segment irrorated with black for over posterior half, segments 4-7 

 evenly irrorated with black and ground-colour somewhat darker; 

 eighth segment slightly irrorated with black ; fore-wing with some 

 subbasal brownish-red irroration mixed with black; a dense black 

 irroration beyond this till antemedial line; a fan of spreading 

 scales below lower median and before antemedial line and another 

 in cell on antemedial line ; medial line broad, black and with a fan 

 of black spreading scales in cell, straight and inwardly oblique; 

 costal area beyond medial line black, discal and inner- marginal area 

 thicldy irrorated with black scales; postmedial line black, broad 

 and distinct from | of costa to vein 6, then obsolete, diffused and 

 double, inwardly oblique to plical fold, then erect to | of inner 

 margin ; Avhole area before this line and from vein 6 to tornus bej^ond 

 this line irrorated with black scales ; a dense black apical irroration 

 well beyond postmedial line; just beyond this line at vein 6 the 

 subterminal begms, so as to appear almost as a continuation of 

 postmedial, but somewhat narrower, this line is dentate between 

 veins 6-2 and somewhat curved, then angled inwardly to plical 

 fold, then to near tornus; area, as far as termen, irrorated with 

 black; a rather broad terminal black line, interrupted by very 

 narrow streaks of ground-colour on the veins; cilia vinaceous-bulf 

 with a light thin basal line and a diffused light line in middle, also 

 with some black scales opposite the veins before the middle line; 

 some black terminal scales beyond this line. Hind-wing with a 

 fuscous-black postmedial irroration from costa to Ic, from 3 to Ic 

 broad and dense ; beyond the postmedial the whole area is irrorated 

 with fuscous from costa to 16, broadest and densest between veins 3
