gular patch on costa at three-fourths, containing two pairs of 

 short wliite strigulse, and 3 darker fuscous equidistant dots on.; 

 costa; a spot at apex; cilia greyish, barred with fuscous on

Capua pentazona, n. sp. 



Female, 16 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax dark 

 fuscous, palpi beneath white, sharply defined, antennae ob- 

 scurely annulated with whitish, thorax with a whiti=5h spot on 

 posterior extremity, patagia whitish. Legs whitish, all tarsi 

 black, ringed with whitish. Forewings elongate, triangular, 

 costa moderately arched, termen oblique, rounded beneath ; 

 dark fuscous, more or less sprinkled with whitish; five trans- 

 verse black fasciae, all finely inorated with gi^eenish white ; 

 first, indicating edge of basal fascia, from one-sixth costa to 

 one-fourth inner margin, gently cui-^^ed outwards; second 

 slightly curved outwards beneath costa, from costa. at one-fourt'ji 

 to before middle of inner margin ; ground color between fir^t 

 and second fasciae strongly irrorated with whitish ; third nearly 

 straight, from just before middle of costa tO' before middle 

 of inner margin ; fourth parallel, just beyond ; fifth parallel, 

 from costa at three-foui'ths to anal angle ; the last two fasciae 

 are interrupted by a well-defined broad oblique whitish fascia, 

 from immediately beyond third fascia to anal angle, cutting 

 fourtli fascia in middle ; three oblique whitish spots on costa 

 between posterior edge of white fascia and apex; a black 

 streak, sstrongly irrorated with whitish along termen ; cilia 

 fuscous, mixed with blackish. Hindwings with termen 

 rounded, faintly sinuate beneath apex; fuscous, spotted with, 

 darker fuscous ; cilia gTeyish, with a fuscous subbasal line. 



Nearest decolorana. Walk, but immediately distinguished by 

 the fuscous hindwings. The description of Asthci'ojdiiclia con- 

 junctana. Walk., would seemingly indicate an insect of 

 similar appearance, but the palpi of this species would alono 

 remove it from that genus.
