3 and $? . Front, black, with pale olivaceous whitish scales mar- 

 gining the eyes. Palpi, pale obscure olivaceous ; second joint 

 blackish outwardly. Head, behind, pale, with a black spot on ver- 

 tex between the antennae. Thoracic disc with a median, very 

 narrow, pale line. Tegulae, black, margined inwardly by pale lines 

 meeting in front. Abdomen, above, black, with a median, longi- 

 tudinal, very narrow, pale line ; segments edged posteriorly with 

 pale scales. Beneath, obscure dirty olivaceous, mixed with black- 

 ish ; tarsi and tibiae, sub-annulate. 



Anterior wings, deep velvety black. Black at base ; a narrow 

 pale sub-basal line directed obliquely outwardly, angulated on inter- 

 nal nervure, thence running inwardly to internal margin. Extra- 

 basal space, black. Transverse anterior line, prominent, narrow, 

 pale, preceded by a coincident fainter line of olivaceous atoms, 

 directed outwardly obliquely to the interspace above internal ner- 

 vure, at which place it stretches entirely across the black median 

 space joining the transverse posterior line, and is here angulated, 

 forming, below this point, a single deep and rounded excavation 

 to internal margin. In some specimens this division of the median 

 space, by the fusion of the two transverse median lines, is very 

 prominently accomplished ; the median space being thereby 

 divided into a larger, sub-quadrate, black field, and a smaller, 

 rounded space on internal margin. The transverse posterior 

 line is followed by a linear olivaceous powdery line, promi- 

 nently scolloped inferiorly on the interspaces. Sub-terminal space, 

 black; the "veins" on extra-basal and sub-terminal spaces are 

 longitudinally marked with olivaceous shades. A white, sub-ter-
