distinct. I noted that the type, which is unset, had broadly 

 fringed hind tibiae, and Mr. Durrant, who drew the neuration, 

 thought that the flexus of the hind wings was probably some- 

 what bulged as in Phcecadophora. At present it cannot be 

 determined whether Dudua should be referred to Phcecasio- 

 phora, Grt., or to Phcecadophora } Wlsrn., or whether it is 

 distinct from both. 



Ph^ecasiophora, Grt. 



924(14). Phcecastophora Fernaldana, sp. n. 



Antennce reddish fuscous. Palpi reddish brown at the 

 sides, paler towards the apex. Head reddish brown. Thorax 

 rosy fawn, mottled with umber-brown. Fore wings rosy 

 fawn, with a short basal patch and three irregular fasciaform 

 markings all confined to the costal side of the fold ; these 

 markings are all broken up and jagged at the edges and 

 consist of greyish fuscous and olive-brown, margined and re- 

 ticulated with dark umber-brown j the short basal patch is 

 narrow on the costa, dilated and angulated on the upper edge 

 of the cell, its lower margin not reaching the fold and ill- 

 defined; the first fasciaform band is, at one-third the wing- 

 length, broken into two patches, the first adjacent to the 

 costa, irregularly quadrate, the other beneath it, adjacent to 

 the fold, somewhat reniform ; the second fascia, beginning 

 scarcely beyond the costa, is wider and more conspicuous 

 than the other two, and sends out three excrescences on its 

 outer side and two slight projections on its inner side, the 

 pale ground-colour between the outer excrescences gives the 

 appearance of a spot (or reduplicated spot) about the upper 

 angle of the cell ; the third fascia does not reach the costa, 

 but is curved from near its outer fourth, first outwards towards 

 the apex, then downwards in the direction of the tornus, 

 sending out two projections on its outer side towards the 

 termen; between this fascia and the apex of the wing is a 

 slight grey shade, followed by a slender dark umber-brown 

 line and a small triangular apical spot ; the extreme costa is 

 narrowly pale fawn-colour, with numerous short stria?, some 

 oblique, some almost straight ; the rosy fawn portions of the 

 wing between the fascise, as well as the dorsal fourth of the 

 wing-width, are clouded and reticulated with grey and greyish 

 fuscous and with a small proportion of umber-brown ; cilia 

 pale fawn, with a narrow brownish line near their base and 

 three or four greyish spots running through them at the 

 apex and on the termen. Exp. al. 22-24 mm. Hind wings
