Standing in the collection with the preceding species, 

 from which, however, it differs in its occasionally greater 

 size, its longer palpi, deeper coloration, and in the 

 pattern of the primaries ; these wings are of a sericeous 

 tawny testaceous colour, reticulated throughout with 

 grey, a line of which colour crosses the wings obliquely 

 near the base ; there is a diffused dusky spot at the end 

 of the cell, and a greyish subapical costal cuneiform 

 patch ; the secondaries are cream-coloured, reticulated 

 with grey, and tinted with testaceous towards apex. 

 Blanchard's specimens appear to have been small, if 

 they really belonged to the species before me (as the 

 coloration leads me to believe that they did). 



Var. dives. 



Size and coloration of primaries recalling Pcedisca 

 grandiflavana, Wlsm. ; these wings are sericeous golden

 a more or less distinct subapical costal grey-edged patch ; 

 base of fringe grey ; secondaries silvery white, more or 

 less sordid and reticulated with grey ; body pale stra-
