outer margin ; fringe white, traversed by a grey line ; 

 body above pale testaceous ; primaries below greyish, 

 the discoidal spots not so black as above ; other markings 

 much as usual ; secondaries shining white, the costal 

 and external borders slightly tinted with stramineous ; 

 black markings as usual ; pectus white ; legs and venter 

 slightly tinted with brown. Expanse of wings, 22 mm.

Whether this is actually Hiibner's insect or not I am 

 unable to decide, as we do not possess the species : it 

 much resembles Duponchel's figures ; that of Herrich- 

 Schiiffer is entirely obliterated by the white-lead which 

 has been laid on thickly by the artist, and has turned 

 perfectly black. The Chilian species is certainly con- 

 generic with N. interpunctalis. 



Godara, Walker. 



Allied to Pionea, but the males "with a reflexed tuft 

 near the base of the costa." The Chilian species is 

 more like Cledeobla than Pionea in colouring. Zeller's 

 type appears to have had the tufts either rubbed off or so 

 closely appressed to the wing as to be regarded as merely 

 black spots ; they are capable of being thrown forwards 

 so as to appear like a black process projecting from 

 the costal margin.

Two males were placed with Actenia rubescens, which 

 they somewhat resemble in coloration.
