Philobota sororia, n. sp. 



Eemale, 16 mm. Head snow-white. Palpi white, base of 

 second joint dark-fuscous. Antennse blackish. Thorax dark- 

 fuscous, middle of anterior margin broadly white. Abdomen 

 grey. Legs ochreous-whitish, anterior pair infuscated. Forewings 

 somewhat dilated, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed^ 

 hindmargin nearly straight, oblique ; white, the greater part of 

 disc suffused or irrorated with fuscous ; a fuscous streak along 

 basal third of costa, its anterior extremity prolonged to inner- 

 margin ; on inner-margin near base is a large roundish snow- 

 white blotch ; some irregular white areas on costa, inner, and 

 hindmargin ; two discal dots faintly indicated ; cilia dark-fuscous^ 

 at apex and above anal angle whitish. Hindwings and cilia 

 grey. 



The male is not known, but it appears closely allied to the 

 preceding, the fasciae being lost in a general fuscous suffusion. 

 It is certainly distinct.

 two oblique fasciae parallel to this, first from costa near base to 

 middle of inner-margin, second from costa at one-fourth to anal 

 angle ; all three lines partly obsolete and suffusedly connected 

 on inner-margin ; a fourth line from costa at two-fifths, dilated 

 above anal angle, where it is confluent with second fascia, from 

 thence it is bent upwards and continued to apex ; a triangular 

 blotch on costa before apex ; cilia pale-ochreous, at apex fuscous, 

 Hindwings ochreous-whitish ; cilia pale-ochreous.
