 patch and central fascia and four irregular submarginal 

 marks in the interspaces between R^ and M- and from M' to 

 inner margin; all the dark markings finely edged with pale 

 yellowish ; a fine fuscous-brown terminal line edged as finely 

 ■with yellow ; fringe brown. Hind wing glossy brown-grey,

This species bears some superficial resemblance to 

 " Cidaria" bogotata, Walk. List Lep. Ins. xxv. p. 1395, but 

 is quite distinct structurally, that species baving a double 

 areole, and biangulate discocellulars in the hind wing.

cJ . 32 mm. — Antenna scarcely ciliated. Head and

 antemedian line (forming proximal edge of median band) 

 from one-tbird of costa to one-third of inner margin, sub- 

 dentate, starting vertically from costa, then curved and 

 somewhat oblique basewards ; postmedian (distal edge of 

 median band) dark fuscous, from just before two-thirds 

 costa to just beyond two-thirds inner margin, lunulate- 

 dentate and forming a double projection between R'^ and M^ ;
