ATYCHIAB^. 



Atychia mesochrysa, n. sp. 



Male and female, 16 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, 

 legs, and abdomen blackish, hairs of palpi beneath whitish, 

 abdomen with fine orange segmental rings. Forewings elon- 

 gate, moderate, costa gently arched, termen obliquely rounded ; 

 blackish-fuscous, with some fine obscure bluish-white scales ; 

 cilia blackish. Hindwings with termen rounded ; blackish 

 fuscous; a moderately broad bright orange fascia, from costa 

 before middle to before middle of innermargin, but hardly 

 reaching it ; gently sinuate inwards on lower edge ; cilia fus- 

 cous, terminal half orange, becoming wholly orange towards 

 anal angle. 



Distinct by the orange fascia of hindwings ; the haired palpi 

 deviate from the other described species, but I do not consider 

 it calls for generic distinction.
