143. Diptychophora muscella, n. sp. (Plate 1, fig. 20, $.) 



$. Head, thorax, palpi white tinged with fulvous ; abdomen white, each segment 

 basally with some yellow scales ; the posterior segments dark laterally. Fore wing white, 

 much suffused with brown and fulvous ; a fulvous costal streak ; a brown nearly straight 

 antemedial line, bordered internally with white and fulvous ; an indistinct discal spot 

 which is surrounded by an ii'regular fulvous area continuous with the costal streak ; an 

 indistinct double postmedial line which is curved from costa to near discocellulars and 

 then passes very obliquely to inner margin at two-thirds ; the apical area yellow, with an 

 irregular white spot ; occasionally two black marginal spots near veins 2 and 3 ; cilia 

 somewhat variable ; usually blackish at base, then white and distally smoky ; cilia round 

 sub-apical excision white. Hind wing white, much suffused with grey towards outer 

 margin ; traces of a curved postmedial line ; cilia grey with a darker band near base. 

 Expanse 8 mm. 



$ as ^ but without the slight thickening of antennae. This species comes nearest to 

 D. mimitalis Hampson, but may be distinguished by the great obliquity of the postmedial 

 line which forms a smaller angle with the inner margin and approaches more nearly the 

 antemedial line.
