10. Gosymbia dyschroa % sp. n. 



$ . — 24 mm. 



Face pale olive. Palpus nearly twice as long as diameter 

 of eye, third joint slender, about half as long as diameter of 

 eye; pale olive above (third joint narrowly darkened), rather 

 paler beneath ; crown, thorax, and abdomen concolorous, the 

 vertex very narrowly white in front. 



Fore icing rather broad, apex acute, minutely produced, 

 termen nearly straight, tornus pronounced; glossy smoke- 

 grey with a slight olive tinge, somewhat sprinkled with 

 bluish-silvery scales ; costal region with some purplish dots, 

 mostly very minute, a few on the margin itself (especially 

 near apex) less so ; lines indicated by dark vein-dots ; ante- 

 median outbent in middle, only the dots on M and SM well 

 developed ; postmedian from beyond two-thirds costa, very 

 gently excurved in anterior half and incurved in posterior ; 

 cell-spot elongate but small, white, very slightly dark-edged; 

 traces of a very faint greyish median shade beyond it, curved 

 parallel with postmedian; terminal line dull purple, very 

 slightly lunulate, appearing more so on account of the slight 

 interruption at vein-ends and confluence with small con- 

 colorous dots at base of fringe opposite the veins ; fringe 

 otherwise cream-buff. 



Hind wing with apex rectangular, termen bent at R 3 ; 

 nearly as fore wing ; circumscription of cell-spot stronger, 

 median shade straighter, touching the cell-spot. 



Both wings beneath paler, inclining to bluish white; fore 

 wing except posteriorly, hind wing at apex only, flushed with 

 pink ; a white cell-dot indicated on both wings, a row of 

 small weak postmedian dots on fore wing only.
