dusted and strigulated with blackish, the costa of fore wing 

 somewhat olivaceous ; the faintest possible suggestion of a 

 subterminal band of a similar tone ; cell-spots and terminal 

 dots nearly as above.

 Warren calls the whole of this group by the untenable name 

 of Cymatophora (Hub. Tentamen, ined.?, Packard; nee 

 Treitschke). The group contains canadaria, Guen , the type 

 of Melon olophia, Hulst. In the present species SC 1 " 2 of 

 fore wing are stalked as usual, but SC 1 anastomoses with C. 



Melanolophia digna, sp. n. 



$ . 42-43 mm. — Face pale ochreous, with triangular dark 

 marks at sides and above; palpus pale ochreous at tip and 

 on the inner side, fuscous beneath and extern rly ; antennal 

 shaft fuscous, ringed with pale ochreous; legs pale ochreous, 

 fore and middle pairs irregularly banded with fuscous, bind 

 sparingly spotted with fuscous; vertex, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorous with wings. Wings shaped as in the preceding 

 species, termen of fore wing perhaps slightly more elbowed 

 at R 3 ; lavender-grey, speckled with black and very sparsely 

 with tawny, the veins very pale yellowish ; lines very ill- 

 defined, indicated by an increase of the tawny and black 

 scales, slightly mixed with ferruginous, commencing from 

 dark marks on costa; antemedian at one-fifth, outbeut in 

 cell and on submedian fold; median well before one-half, 

 obsolt scent, but sometimes with a distinct black spot on M 

 at the base of M 2 ; postmedian from costa at two-thirds, 

 forming an indentation between K 1 and R 3 and again above 

 and below SM 2 , these indentations being filled up with black 

 spots; minute black dots on the veins; subterminal at five- 

 sixths, indistinctly pale, preceded from costa to R 1 and from 

 inner margin to submedian fold by some small black spots, 

 and preceded and followed on either side of R 2 by strong 

 black marks, the distal the larger ; termen with small black 

 dots between the veins ; fringe concolorous with wing. 

 Hind w r ing with the black dusting rather strong basally ; 

 antemedian line from inner margin at two-fifths, mixed with 

 dark grey ; postmedian at before two-thirds, slightly lunulate- 

 dentate, bending towards tornus from submedian fold ; 

 accompanied by some dark marks towards inner margin ; 

 subterminal indicated by a series of small black dots, followed 

 by pale scales ; its course parallel to termen until near inner 

 margin, where it bends towards tornus ; terminal dots as in
