5 ?■ Resembling in colour sericeipi'nnis ; much smaller ; the submarginal line 

 of the forewing nearly as in maculi/era ; both sexes without dorsal line on the 

 abdomen, but the S has a dorsal patch on segment 8. The subbasal costal patch 

 of forewing is wider than the posterior patch. The discal line of the forewing 

 stands nearer the cell than in ochracza, and the cellular portion of the distal 

 submedian line extends to the lower angle of the cell. 



$. The eighth abdominal sternite is mesially rounded (PI. XXII. 29). The 

 liarjie (PI. XXXI. f. 15) resembles that of scrici'ipeiinis, but the distal process 

 {j)c) is shorter, not curved vontrad, the cone pm of the subraesial dental ridge is 

 not quite so high, acutely pointed, the tip turned ventrad. The penis-sheath 

 (PI. XXX. f. 8) differs markedly from that of seriaeipennis ; the dorsal process 

 is sboit and differently shaped, and is armed with a dense row of teeth extended 

 to the end of the process ; the ventral teeth, situated at the edge of a fold of the 

 membranaceous part of the penis, are larger ; there are two very heavy ones, 

 preceded distally by a number of small ones ; the ridge, or fold, is turned dorsad 

 in the specimen from which the figure was taken ; this position is owing to the 

 duct protruding partly from the sheath. The tenth sternite agrees with that of 

 sericeipennis. 



? . Vaginal plate with the ridge in front of the cavity mesially produced into 

 a long broad lobe, which is asymmetrically sinuate in the specimen dissected : 

 cavity large, its hinder wall mesially I'aised to a transversely carinate tubercle ; 

 distal edge of plate broadly rounded ; the plate agrees best with that of macuUfera) 

 but the mesial lobe is mnch broader.

In 1604 I identified ochracea erroneously as sch.cuiffdbergeri, following Leech, 

 and described this as new (W, R.).
