and with five black blotches, the first four increasing in size 

 distally, marking the origin of the lines, which below SC 

 are rust-coloured marked with a few black scales, thicker and 

 brighter at inner margin, those forming median fascia much 

 outcurved above middle ; cell-spot large and black ; sub- 

 terminal line whitish, dentate, not distinct except on the 

 subapical costal blotch ; a pnesubterminal shade inter- 

 ruptedly black marked, most strongly on the folds j fringe 

 pale ochreous, chequered with blackish in basal half. Hind 

 wing whitish, with abdominal margin ochreous ; cell-spot 

 black ; the lines faint, except along abdominal margin, 

 where they are strongly marked with black ; termen 

 ochreous grey beyond an indistinct lunulate-dentate sub- 

 terminal line. Underside of fore wing blurred grey ; costa 

 marked with black ; cell-spot black ; underside of hind wing 

 ochreous with the lines blackish, cell-spot black.

Eucymatoge sobria, sp. n. 



£ $ . 24 mm. — Like E. costirufaria, Warr. Nov. Zool. 

 xiv. p. 247, but lighter, silvery grey, with the red-brown 

 shading nearly obsolete, only appearing quite weakly in 

 basal area and cell, along costa, and narrowly before sub- 

 terminal line ; cell-spot smaller ; postmedian line somewhat 

 less thick, more broken into dashes on the veins ; sub- 

 terminal line preceded and sometimes followed by strong 

 black dashes between the veins, which are very weak or 

 wanting in costirufaria ; a larger, darker subtornal blotch 

 than in that species. Hind wing less reddish grey than in 

 costirufaria, the abdominal margin not reddish, the markings 

 on it black, except the subtornal blotch, which is fuscous 

 brown, not red-brown. Underside dark grey, not brown- 

 grey *

Mr. Warren suggested to me that this was a form of 

 " Tephroclystia" analiscripta, Warr. Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 248, 

 but this seems to me absolutely impossible. Even if anali- 

 scripta be really a Eucymatoge (I unfortunately omitted to 

 examine the venation when comparing), sobria is larger, with 

 more elongate wings, sharper markings, the postmedian line 

 of fore wing more angled (in analiscripta rather curved — 

 " bluntly bent " according to Warren). My only hesitation 



* Warren, not being engaged on a comparison between two allies, 

 not unnaturally says of costirufaria "underside dark grey," but the 

 difference of tone is very marked indeed.
