dorsum ; another from beyond middle of costa to beyond mid- 

 dle of dorsum, and two others close together and parallel near 

 beyond ; a similar line just before termen ; a very small' 

 fuscous discal dot, between first and second lines; a row of 

 black dots along termen; cilia ochreous-white. Hindwings 

 with termen rounded, color and all markings, except first 

 lines, as in forewings.

PlONEA LEUCOTYPA, H. Sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head, palpi, antennse, and thorax light 

 fuscous, palpi internally and at base white. Legs white, 

 anterior tibi?e and tarsi infuscated, abdomen fuscous, white 

 beneath, with a lateral row of black dots. Forewings elon- 

 gate, moderately dilated termen gently rounded, oblique ; 

 brownish, somewhat fuscous tinged ; a very strongily outwardly 

 ciu'ved dull whitish streak, from costa ab one-sixth tO' dorsum 

 at one-third, most pronounced on dorsum ; a well developed 

 clear white fascia from costa at five-sixths toi dorsrum before 

 anal angle, curved outwards beneath cosita, and finely edged 

 more or less throughout with fuscous ; a( small fuscous dot in 

 the disc beyond middle, nearer costa than dorsum ; a row of 

 obscure blackish praeterminal dots; cilia fuscous-whitish. 

 Hindwings pale greyish, becoming fuscous tinged around ter- 

 men and apex, and with a few praeterminal dots as) in fore- 

 wings ; cilia grey- whitish, basal half fuscous. 



A distinct species, well characterised by the white fascia. It 

 is highly probable that the first streak will be better developed 

 in fresher specimens.
