(374 } 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



4 ? ?. 



Easily distinguished by the slaty blue bindwing and underside. The abdomen 

 is stout and heavy ; the palpi prolonged, but not so much as in the South American 

 species of the genus ; the discocellular of hindwing is biangulate, the radial from 

 the lower angulation. 



Crasilogia gen. nov. 



Fordoing of the c? and/o;'e- and hindwing of ? as in Epii-rhoiJ ; hindwing of 

 3 abnormal ; the apex rounded, hindmargin straight to end of vein 4, then excised 

 and rounded, the inner margin short ; the upper surface clothed with thick layers of 

 silky Jiair, which towards the ends of the three median nervules are semi-erect and 

 curled over a blotch of black scales ; the inner margin furrowed beneath ; anal tufts 

 of S enormously developed, expanded and containing a lot of fine woolly down. 

 Palpi porrect upwards, second segment long, third short and decumbent : antennae 

 siiu]ile in both sexes. 



Neuration of forewing alike in both sexes ; cell half as long as wing ; disco- 

 cellular vertical, oblique below ; vein 2 at four-fifths, 3 close before 4 ; radials 

 normal ; 7, 8, 9 stalked, 10 anastomosing with 11 and again with 8, 9 ; hindwing of 

 ? normal ; 0, 7 short-stalked ; the discocellular vertical in upper third, obli([ne in 

 lower two-thirds ; radial from the angle, above the middle ; cell less than lialf 

 of wing ; in the S the cell is longer than half the wing, broad and prolonged below, 

 the discocellular biangulated, the radial from the lower, outward angulation, and 

 therefore below the middle ; veins 2, 3 and 4 shortened.

Forewing : dark olive-fuscous ; basal patch edged by a fine outwardly oblique 

 white line angled basewards on submedian vein ; central fascia edged inwardly by 

 a similarly oblique white line, parallel to the other and irregularly waved ; space 

 between the white lines yellowish traversed by three fuscous lines ; central fascia 

 much broader on costa than on inner margin, its outer edge running from three- 

 fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, with traces of paler and darker lines 

 in it; cell-spot large, irregularly rounded, black, ringed with white; the fascia is 

 followed first by a fine white line, irregularly waved and acutely dent»te basewards 

 on vein 7, then by a brown line followed by a yellow one edged by two dark lines; 

 submarginal line white, zigzag, distinct in the dark fuscous marginal area, which 

 grows paler immediately before the margin ; the veins beyond submarginal line 

 concisely pale, with a pair of large square black spots along the margin at their 

 ends ; fringe pale, chequered with olive-fuscous. 



JJindwing of c? silky white, the fringes white, except beyond the patch of black 

 scales, where they are also blackish ; of ? dull greyish orange with the cell-spot and 

 three waved grey lines of the underside showing through ; hindmargin darker, 

 with the veins yellow ; fringe yellowish ochreous, chequered with fuscous. 



Underside of ? dull ochraceous, the costa of forewing spotted with fuscous, 

 and all the markings dull fuscous 5 inner margin paler ; hindwing with cell-spot, a 

 median line, three postmedian waved lines, and the border brownish fuscous; fringes 

 ochraceous with fuscous chequering ; underside of d' much paler ochreous, mixed
